Lipografting – filling wrinkles with your own fat

Basic characteristics

• filling wrinkles on the face
• facial contouring
• lip augmentation
• suppression of the signs of ageing on the hands
• liposculpturing – tightening of sunken areas during liposuction
• correction of shape, asymmetry of calves or breasts

Intervention and duration

Lipofilling and lipografting is a relatively simple outpatient procedure without the need for hospitalization, which has recently become more and more in demand. It uses the body’s own fat taken with a fine cannula, then processed and applied to various problem areas on the face and body. The procedure can also be combined with liposuction, where, in addition to getting rid of excess subcutaneous fat and shaping the figure, the fat itself is used to correct the problem area.

Effect

The effect is long-lasting and that is why this procedure is popular especially in combination with a facelift. Some of the fat may be absorbed after the first application, so the procedure must be repeated after a period of time to replenish the fat loss. The effect of the procedure can last for years.
