Face Lipofilling

What is it?

The transfer of the patient's own fat from one part of the body (e.g., abdomen, thighs, or buttocks) to the facial area.

This technique is used to correct volume, asymmetry, fill wrinkles, or restore facial contours.

The face lipofilling procedure is effective for correcting:

Loss of facial tissue volume, particularly age-related changes in the cheeks, temples, chin, and under the eyes.

Deep wrinkles and skin folds: nasolabial folds, “marionette” lines (from the corners of the mouth to the chin), vertical wrinkles in the chin or lip area.

Facial asymmetry - natural or acquired, for example, after injuries or surgeries.

Facial contours - enhancing or emphasizing cheekbones, giving a more defined chin or jawline.

Consequences of injuries or diseases: elimination of scars, depressions, or skin irregularities caused by injuries, burns, or diseases.

Appearance of the eye area: removing dark circles under the eyes (by adding volume), correcting hollows in the orbital area.

Our plastic surgeons recommend it for a number of advantages:

Naturalness

The patient's own tissues are used, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.

Comprehensive effect

Fat not only adds volume but also improves skin quality due to stem cell content.

Long-lasting result

Part of the transplanted fat survives and retains volume for many years.

Combination of procedures

Lipofilling can be performed alongside other surgeries, such as a facelift.

How to prepare for face lipofilling?

Before performing facial lipofilling, you will be consulted by a plastic surgeon and an anesthesiologist. The volume of intervention and the appropriate type of anesthesia will be determined.<br><br>To assess your health condition, a general blood and urine test, coagulation indicators, and heart function evaluation (electrocardiography - ECG) will be prescribed.

Be sure to inform your doctor about any chronic diseases or regular medication intake, as there are conditions in which facial lipofilling is contraindicated:

Infectious or inflammatory processes in the intervention area

Blood clotting disorders

Pregnancy and lactation

Systemic diseases in the acute stage (e.g., diabetes, hypertension)

Insufficient amount of fat tissue in donor areas

How is the face lipofilling procedure performed?

01 Fat collection

Liposuction is performed to collect fat cells from the donor area (abdomen, thighs, flanks).

Thin cannulas are used to minimize tissue trauma.

02 Fat preparation

The collected fat is processed to remove excess fluid, blood, and damaged cells.

A pure fat cell concentrate is obtained, ready for transplantation.

03 Fat injection into the face

The prepared fat is injected using fine cannulas into the areas that require correction.

The doctor evenly distributes the fat to achieve a natural appearance.

How is recovery after the face lipofilling procedure?

01 First days

Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the areas of fat collection and injection.

It is recommended to avoid physical exertion and sun exposure.

02 1–2 weeks

Swelling gradually decreases, bruising disappears.

Visible results appear after 2–4 weeks.

03 Final result

Noticeable after 3–6 months when the fat completely adapts.

Face lipofilling allows for a natural result, rejuvenating the face and restoring its harmonious proportions.

The success of the surgery depends on the professionalism and teamwork of specialists, so we look forward to seeing you for a consultation with our plastic surgeons.
