Lipofilling
The procedure for filling defects and remodelling body contour with autologous fat.
When is procedure required?
Aesthetic indications for undergoing lipofilling include sunken cheeks, the disappearance of fat from the cheekbones, deep grooves running from the nose to the corners of the mouth, lip enhancement and correction of the breast defects after oncologic operation.
What does the procedure include?
Under local anaesthesia, the necessary fat from the abdomen or inner thigh is obtained by a limited liposculpture through one or several 3-5 mm incisions. The aspirated fat is processed by centrifuging, filtering or rinsing. Pure liquid fatty tissue ready for injection is the result. The fat is then injected in previously marked areas.
How to get prepared?
Special preparations for the procedure are not required. The swelling usually diminishes from the third day on, and social activities can be restarted 1 week after the treatment.
