Lipofilling (autologous fat transfer)

In lipo­fil­ling, the body­’s own fat is suc­tion­ed from one site, pro­ces­sed and rein­tro­du­ced else­whe­re. The­re it ser­ves as a natu­ral fil­ling material.

Appli­ca­ti­on

The pro­ce­du­re is used to build up cheeks and temp­les, to even out con­tours after ope­ra­ti­ons, and on the breast and buttocks. The fat also con­ta­ins stem cells, which can have a favoura­ble effect on skin quality.

Good to know

Part of the trans­fer­red fat is bro­ken down again by the body, usual­ly 30 to 50 per cent. For this reason, deli­be­ra­te over­cor­rec­tion or a second ses­si­on is plan­ned. Wha­te­ver takes remains permanently.
