Facial lipofilling, also known as fat transfer or fat injections, is an increasingly popular procedure that uses the patient’s own fat to restore or improve facial volume. This procedure can help reduce wrinkles, improve facial contours and restore a more youthful appearance.
Your naturally enhanced beauty
Facial lipofilling is a natural and permanent way to create a youthful appearance, using your own fat to fill in wrinkles, restore lost volume and improve facial contours. Facial lipofilling involves removing the patient’s own fat cells from one area (usually the abdomen, thighs or buttocks) and transplanting these cells into an area of the face where volume or contouring is needed. This procedure is known for its naturalness, as it uses the patient’s own tissue. This procedure provides natural beauty while maintaining facial features.

Additional information on the procedure
Stages of the procedure
Fat harvesting: Fat is removed from the donor area using liposuction.
Fat processing: The removed fat is purified and processed to extract high-quality fat cells.
Fat transfer: The processed fat cells are injected into the target area, usually areas of the face such as the cheeks, lips, jawline or nasolabial folds.
Recovery
The recovery period after facial lipofilling is usually short because the procedure is relatively minimally invasive. However, swelling and bruising may occur in both the fat removal and transfer areas, which usually subside within a few weeks. Most patients can return to their daily activities within a few days after surgery.
Risks
Facial lipofilling is generally safe when performed by an experienced surgeon. However, as with all procedures, there are potential risks, including infection, bleeding, irregular contours or failure of the fat cells to survive. In some cases, additional procedures may be necessary to achieve the desired results.
Results
The results of facial lipofilling can be permanent but depend on many factors, including the patient’s lifestyle, age and skin elasticity. Fat survival rates vary and sometimes repeat procedures may be necessary to maintain optimal results. Most patients notice a visible improvement in facial volume and a natural freshness in appearance immediately after the swelling subsides.
Before undergoing a facial lipofilling procedure, it is important to thoroughly discuss all aspects with your surgeon, including expectations for results, the recovery process and potential risks and complications.
