Facial lipofilling is an autologous fat transplant that uses the patient’s own fat to restore volume and improve contours. The procedure combines an aesthetic and regenerative effect, contributing to a fresher and more natural look on the face.

It is important that you are at least 18 years old, have a stable weight, good general health, personal motivation for the operation and realistic expectations for the result.
Before the procedure, the plastic surgeon will discuss with you all questions and expectations.
Informed consent is a mandatory document that contains a detailed description of the procedure, possible risks and complications, anesthesia and financial conditions. It is signed after careful familiarization and the opportunity to ask questions to the plastic surgeon or anesthesiologist.
The duration of the procedure depends on the volume of the treated areas and can be performed under local or general anesthesia.
1
Adipose tissue is extracted by gentle liposuction from areas of excess – most often the abdomen or inner thighs.
2
The extracted fat is purified by centrifugation, filtration or washing to separate the viable fraction.
3
The prepared adipose tissue is precisely injected into the desired areas with special syringes and cannulas.
Part of the adipose tissue is resorbed (about 30–40%), which is why a slightly larger amount is inserted, and in some cases additional procedures are required. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and does not require a hospital stay.
The recovery period is individual and may vary from patient to patient.
If there is body hair in the area of surgical intervention, it should be shaved immediately before surgery.
Reception of a light dinner
A prerequisite is not to be on your period on the day of the operation and not to be pregnant!
Medication intake – only with water
You can drink a small cup of coffee, tea, water or juice
(if the operation is after 14:00)
No food
No nightgown, slippers or towel are needed – only personal toiletries.
Part of the injected adipose tissue is absorbed in the first months after the procedure, but the rest of the fat cells are permanently integrated. The result is long-lasting and can last for years, and in some cases an additional corrective procedure is possible.
The results of facial lipofilling are natural and long-lasting.
Since its own adipose tissue is used, the risk of allergic reactions is minimal. When the procedure is performed by an experienced plastic surgeon and with proper patient selection, facial lipofilling is a safe and effective method of natural rejuvenation.
