I've read to eat fatty foods, drink tons of water, take vitamins, and not lose any weight. Are these valid? Any other suggestions? Thanks!
Answer: Fat Graft Survival -- Once Injected, Not Much to Do, Possibly Adding Eclipse PRP I add PRP to all my fat before injecting and this helps survival a lot. I suggest avoiding pressure to the are and any heating procedures. Local injections of PRP may be helpful and can be offered. I suggest going to a well trained physician for treatment. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Fat graft, survival of fat Fat cells are very delicate and require a good healthy host for better survival of the graft- healthy patient, no associated diseases- no smoking- reasonable amount of fat grafted to the surface area of the grafted region- depositing fat in small pearls, to remain in contact with healthy tissue- avoid trauma, shearing and pressure on the graft- eat healthy, hydrate, move around after surgery- compression garment should be comfortable and not strangulating- follow post operative instructions, ask your doctor to be available to you during the healing and recovery. If not available, office, cell phone and home phone find someone else- surgical technique is paramount in importance for graft survival- removing all the fluid and oil - gentle treatment of the graft- remove as much of the blood as possible- washing is in controversy , what fluid to wash with, saline, ringers lactate or other?.??- use of stem cells is junk medicine, - use of PRP is not based on research or good medicine ( increases the price and time)- injecting the fat very slow and at different levels- injecting into the muscle not necessary. Can be very vascular and fat injected into the vessels is very dangerous and can cause major disasters- vessels in the injected areas can be constricted by medication to decrease the risk of injecting into the vessels.- reasonable volume of fat graft to avoid and decrease fat necrosis. And fat loss and volume lossso you and your physician as a partnership can optimize the survival of fat and success of surgery. Remember any one can call himself the expert, only the expert do it right.

Answer: Increase survival of fat grafts Though probably good suggestions for "clean living," based on my 25 years of experience I don't believe these are important factors.Technique is 95% of the "battle"; there may be ways of improving graft take but at this juncture none are proven(that I am aware of).Hope this helps

Answer: Fat graft survival the best thing to do is have NO pressure on the transplanted cells. the fat cells are very delicate. hydration is fine. no smoking is always a good idea. depending on the area, you may need more than one injection.
