For those who love beauty, fat is like hell and they want to avoid it. But in fact, fat still has great uses in the medical beauty industry! Fat filling surgery can turn waste into treasure and enhance your appearance. However, fat filling usually requires anesthesia, and general anesthesia is required for large-area filling. This makes many people worry. Are there risks in general anesthesia?

Let’s first understand the fat grafting procedure. Autologous fat absorbs excess subcutaneous fat cells from certain parts of the human body, and then the absorbed mixture is purified and injected with drugs to obtain compound fat particles. The complete granular fat cells are selected and transplanted to the parts that need fat filling, such as breasts, face, etc., through injection, to treat flat chest, asymmetric breasts, superficial fine wrinkles, thin lips to thick lips, etc.

This shows that fat grafting has a wide range of uses. For many people who seek beauty, there are many sunken parts on the body, so they may need general anesthesia to perform surgery. So are there any risks in general anesthesia?

General anesthesia is abbreviated as general anesthesia. It refers to the temporary inhibition of the central nervous system caused by anesthetics entering the body through respiratory inhalation, intravenous or intramuscular injection. The clinical manifestations are loss of consciousness, loss of systemic pain, amnesia, reflex inhibition and skeletal muscle relaxation. The degree of central nervous system depression is related to the drug concentration in the blood and can be controlled and regulated. This inhibition is completely reversible. After the drug is metabolized or excreted from the body, the patient's consciousness and various reflexes gradually recover.

Postoperative reactions to anesthesia may include agitation, nausea and vomiting, as well as hypoxia and delayed awakening. These reactions are normal. However, anesthesia is widely used in current medical operations, so those seeking beauty do not have to worry. Moreover, for fat filling surgery, general anesthesia is not needed very often. Even if it is really needed, you don’t need to feel too much pressure. Just follow the doctor’s instructions and observe the precautions.
