Facial lipofilling, also known as fat transfer or lipostructure, is a cosmetic procedure where fat is extracted from one area of the body and injected into the face to restore volume and improve contours. This technique can help address issues like hollow cheeks, sunken tear troughs, thin lips, deep wrinkles, and improve overall facial appearance.
How it works:
- Fat Extraction:
Liposuction is used to remove fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks.
- Fat Processing:
The extracted fat is carefully processed to separate the healthy fat cells from other fluids.
- Fat Injection:
The purified fat is then injected into the desired areas of the face, such as the cheeks, tear troughs, or lips, to restore volume and improve contours.
- Natural Results:
Lipofilling uses the patient’s own fat, making it a natural and biocompatible procedure.
Benefits:
- Restores Volume: Lipofilling can help fill in sunken areas and restore lost volume, creating a more youthful appearance.
- Improves Contours: It can enhance facial contours and create a smoother, more sculpted look.
- Natural-Looking Results: The use of the patient’s own fat ensures a natural-looking outcome.
- Permanent Results: Lipofilling results can be long-lasting, as the injected fat cells can survive and integrate into the surrounding tissue.
