Fat Grafting (Lipofilling)

SCHEDULE YOUR CONSULTATION

Lipofilling The fat in your body is finely structured, so it always takes the shape you want. Through lipofilling (lipotransfer), fat from your own body is used to fill in wrinkles and folds located elsewhere in your body.

Overview

Lipofilling can help in the fight against aging. Wrinkles and sagging skin are a natural consequence of aging. The amount of subcutaneous tissue decreases over the years and makes the skin thinner. A fat transplant can help fight this aging process, also because it contains stem cells.

The reinjection of fat makes it possible to fill the hollows and deep wrinkles of the face to give it a younger, smoother and more oval appearance. This procedure can be performed alone or in conjunction with a facial lift, done under general anesthesia. Fat transfer is also used for contour correction, such as buttocks, cheekbones, cheek correction, smoothing scars and irregularities, beautifying hands.

What is Fat Transfer or Fat Grafting (Lipofilling)?

Fat grafting, also known as lipofilling or fat transfer, is a surgical technique where a person's own fat is harvested from one area of the body and transferred to another to add volume, improve contours, or reconstruct tissues.

Fat grafting involves using a person's own fat, which is considered a natural and biocompatible filler, to enhance or reconstruct areas of the body.

How it works:

  • Harvesting: Fat is typically harvested from areas with excess fat, such as the abdomen, hips, or thighs, using liposuction.
  • Processing: The harvested fat is then processed to remove impurities and fluids, leaving behind the healthy fat cells.
  • Injection: The processed fat is then injected into the desired area to add volume, improve contours, or reconstruct tissues.

Ideal Candidates for Fat Grafting

Fat grafting can be a great option for both men and women who are experiencing facial fat loss and desire a natural-looking rejuvenation. Here are some signs you might be a good candidate:

  • Want to add volume or contour to specific areas of their body
  • Have lost volume or experienced hollowing due to aging or weight loss
  • Have scars or deformities that could benefit from volume enhancement
  • Want a natural-looking and long-lasting solution to their cosmetic concerns
  • Are willing to undergo liposuction to harvest the fat for the grafting procedure

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

What does this procedure consist of?

Fat is taken from areas of the body where it is not wanted, and then fed back to areas of the body and face.

How long does the intervention last?

This varies depending on the areas to be liposuction and the areas to be re-injected. Usually, the procedure does not exceed two hours.

How will the days after the operation unfold?

Pain medication will be prescribed, along with a compression garment to wear over the areas of liposuction.

Should I plan for a recovery period?

You can return to work 48 hours after the procedure, but you may have to wait up to two weeks if your job requires physical labor. Sports activities can be resumed gradually about one to two weeks later.

Fat Transfer: What It is and How It works

Fat transfer, which also goes by the name autologous fat transfer and fat grafting, involves removing fat from a donor site, like the stomach, and then purifying it before injecting it into a volume-deficient area to create fullness and a natural contour. For all the good that it offers, it’s essential to know that the key to a successful result is transferring just enough fat for a natural and youthful look. This treatment is a popular procedure to restore lost fat and volume to the face, breasts, butt, and hands while retaining a very natural look. It is also normal for the fat transfer to be slightly overfilled initially so that the target areas can retain as much fat as possible.

Will my fat transfer procedure lead to much scarring?

One of the many things my patients love about fat transfer is the minimal scarring it leaves. Because liposuction incisions are typically small, the scars left behind are also small (often just a few millimeters long). I also try to make incisions in less visible locations. Even the more visible scars left after liposuction will fade over time. Scarring may be more visible for patients who require larger liposuction cannulas or those with more darkly pigmented skin.

How to Maintain Fat Transfer Results

Fat transfer is permanent, and the results will be noticeable for several years. However, fat transfer does not protect you from future aging; as the body ages, fat is lost from the face. So, to maintain fat that has been transferred, it’s crucial to maintain a healthy diet, avoid smoking, and adhere to a pretty stable weight to keep the results from your fat transfer looking their best.

Tips for Making an Informed Decision

Getting a procedure is a tremendous personal investment. However, it is not a decision that should be made lightly or in a hurry. Rushing might influence you to choose the wrong shape or go too big, which may impair you from running, jumping, or performing certain physical activities with ease. Go too small, and you may feel underwhelmed with your new look.

  • Compare notes or seek others’ opinions It is a good idea to speak with your friends, family, or partner about choosing the correct breast implant for your body and lifestyle. Be open to other people’s opinions and suggestions, especially if they have your best interests at heart.
  • Knowledge is power From a plastic surgeon’s point of view, we recommend learning as much about the specific shapes and sizes, surgery incisions, and types of breast implants on the market. Knowing your reasons also play a role in your decision making.
  • Know your budget Consider the cost of your preferred implant. For example, teardrop-shaped implants are more expensive since they require a textured surface to prevent rotation and a trained surgeon to place them.
  • Seek professional advice It is important to understand that no two breast augmentations are alike. Just because saline implants looked beautiful on your best friend does not mean that the same implant will be the right choice for you. This is why plastic surgeons always recommend face-to-face consultations.
