Can fat filling and thread carving be done together

Fat filling and thread carving can generally be done together, but it needs to be determined based on individual skin condition and doctor's evaluation. Fat filling improves volume loss by transplanting autologous fat, while thread carving uses absorbable fibers to enhance facial contours. The combination of the two can achieve a dual effect of volume filling and tissue enhancement. When fat filling and thread carving are combined, thread carving is usually performed first before fat filling. The lifting effect of thread carving can provide a more stable support structure for fat transplantation, reducing the risk of fat displacement. Fat filling can compensate for the limitations of thread carving in improving volume, especially suitable for those with mid face depression or temple collapse. The synergistic effect of the two can prolong the duration of the effect, and a natural tightening effect can be observed 1-2 weeks after the swelling subsides. Attention should be paid to selecting experienced doctors for operation to avoid complications such as uneven filling or wire penetration caused by improper techniques.

Patients with severe skin laxity or scar constitution should be treated with caution in combination therapy. For those with thin skin, contour may appear due to shallow wire embedding, and it is recommended to carry out the process in stages. Combined operation is prohibited for patients with acute inflammation, coagulation dysfunction or uncontrolled diabetes. Temporary bruising and swelling may occur after surgery. It is necessary to avoid rubbing the face and keep the wound clean. If necessary, cold compress can be applied to relieve the symptoms.

Avoid vigorous exercise or high temperature environments within 3 months after surgery to prevent rapid fat absorption or premature degradation of the thread. It is recommended to choose a regular medical institution and complete preoperative blood routine and coagulation function tests. Regular follow-up visits are required after combination therapy to supplement a small amount of fat or adjust the position of the wire according to the recovery situation, in order to maintain the best effect.
