Fat grafting – lipofilling
A youthful and attractive face is characterized by a good facial structure.
Indication
Not only the bony structure, the connective tissue with the muscles and the skin, but also the fat plays a decisive role in the facial structure.
Fat loss in the upper face
The first sign of the ageing process in the face is the loss of volume in the mid-face area.
Over time, the periorbital area, the mouth and lip area and the temples lose their fat volume, resulting in a relative lack of fat, especially in the nasolabial and marionette folds.
Fat accumulation in the lower part
At the same time, there is a relative increase in volume in the lower face and neck.
Treatment
Targeted liposuction and autologous fat grafting (liposculpture) can help here and are often combined with a facelift or neck lift.
Fat compartments
The processed autologous fat is injected into either the superficial or deep fat compartments.
Expertise
Liposculpture is a demanding operation that can only be performed successfully by experts with many years of experience.
Reconstructive surgery
Deformities resulting from aesthetic surgery, accidents or congenital malformations can also be corrected using this technique.
Examples include hollowed eyes after eyelid surgery, flat cheeks after energy-based facial treatments and loss of volume or retracted scars after accidents or surgery.
Skin quality
In addition to the volume effect, autologous fat has a positive effect on skin quality, dark circles under the eyes and scars.
Result
After the swelling has subsided in about 2 to 3 weeks, the result becomes visible. Regenerative effects of an autologous fat transplant usually take 6 to 8 months before they become visible. Liposculpture is a procedure that can naturally restore youthful freshness and harmony to the face.
