Annoy\u00ading love hand\u00adles on your sto\u00admach, hips or thighs? At the same time, too litt\u00adle volu\u00adme in the face, hands or d\u00e9col\u00adle\u00adt\u00e9? This pat\u00adtern is typi\u00adcal and we often encoun\u00adter it in practice.<\/p>\n

The obvious idea<\/strong>: the fat stays in the body, it just chan\u00adges places. What sounds unu\u00adsu\u00adal at first has long sin\u00adce pro\u00adven its\u00adelf in aes\u00adthe\u00adtic medi\u00adci\u00adne. At the Swiss Der\u00adma Cli\u00adnic in Zurich, we com\u00adbi\u00adne lipo\u00adsuc\u00adtion (lipo\u00adsuc\u00adtion)<\/a> with auto\u00adlog\u00adous fat tre\u00adat\u00adment. Also known as face or body con\u00adtou\u00adring. The aim of the tre\u00adat\u00adment is to har\u00admo\u00adni\u00adze facial and body con\u00adtours in a natu\u00adral way. With a very long shelf life and maxi\u00admum tolerance.<\/p>\n

In this tre\u00adat\u00adment, fat is remo\u00adved from one area, pro\u00adces\u00adsed and then reap\u00adpli\u00aded to ano\u00adther area.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How the treatment works:<\/h2>\n

First, the fat is har\u00adve\u00ads\u00adted from the pre\u00advious\u00adly deter\u00admi\u00adned are\u00adas of the body, pro\u00adces\u00adsed and injec\u00adted in small quan\u00adti\u00adties into the desi\u00adred are\u00adas. For exam\u00adp\u00adle, on the face, chest or body. The appli\u00adca\u00adti\u00adon fits seam\u00adless\u00adly into the cur\u00adrent trend \u201eaway from over\u00adcor\u00adrec\u00adtions and towards natu\u00adral, har\u00admo\u00adnious results\u201c.<\/p>\n

Auto\u00adlog\u00adous fat is well sui\u00adted for this becau\u00adse it is the body\u00ad\u2019s own tis\u00adsue that can be per\u00adma\u00adnent\u00adly inte\u00adgra\u00adted into exis\u00adting structures.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fat cells grow in over the long term<\/h2>\n

The trans\u00adplan\u00adted fat cells have to inte\u00adgra\u00adte into the new tis\u00adsue and can then grow in the long term. Unli\u00adke arti\u00adfi\u00adci\u00adal fil\u00adlers, for exam\u00adp\u00adle, they are not bro\u00adken down by the body after a few months. A high per\u00adcen\u00adta\u00adge of this pro\u00adcess works very well. Only a small pro\u00adpor\u00adti\u00adon is meta\u00adbo\u00adli\u00adzed. Refresh\u00adments are pos\u00adsi\u00adble at any time until the desi\u00adred result is achie\u00adved. How well fat is absor\u00adbed indi\u00advi\u00addu\u00adal\u00adly depends on various fac\u00adtors, inclu\u00adding life\u00adstyle and per\u00adso\u00adnal predisposition.<\/p>\n

A major advan\u00adta\u00adge of auto\u00adlog\u00adous fat tre\u00adat\u00adment<\/strong> is that the injec\u00adted \u201emate\u00adri\u00adal\u201c is the body\u00ad\u2019s own and the\u00adr\u00ade\u00adfo\u00adre very well tole\u00adra\u00adted. The effects are natu\u00adral and indi\u00advi\u00addu\u00adal\u00adly con\u00adtroll\u00adable. If more fat is nee\u00added to fill out the hips or breasts, fur\u00adther tre\u00adat\u00adment can be car\u00adri\u00aded out until the desi\u00adred result is achie\u00adved. The only requi\u00adre\u00adment<\/u> is that the\u00adre must be suf\u00adfi\u00adci\u00adent fat reser\u00adves so that enough tis\u00adsue can be removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cur\u00adrent stu\u00addies on breast aug\u00admen\u00adta\u00adti\u00adon (breast enlar\u00adge\u00adment) with auto\u00adlog\u00adous fat show: On avera\u00adge, around half of the trans\u00adfer\u00adred volu\u00adme is retai\u00adned in the long term.\n

We the\u00adr\u00ade\u00adfo\u00adre plan for a litt\u00adle more volu\u00adme (fat cells). After lipo\u00adsuc\u00adtion (suc\u00adtion) and sub\u00adse\u00adquent injec\u00adtions, it takes a few months befo\u00adre the final result is visible.<\/p><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Suitable for small to medium corrections<\/h2>\n

Auto\u00adlog\u00adous fat is well sui\u00adted for small to medi\u00adum cor\u00adrec\u00adtions. In breast aug\u00admen\u00adta\u00adti\u00adons<\/a>, for exam\u00adp\u00adle, it is pos\u00adsi\u00adble to enlar\u00adge up to one cup size per ses\u00adsi\u00adon. If a more signi\u00adfi\u00adcant adjus\u00adt\u00adment is desi\u00adred, we requi\u00adre fur\u00adther ses\u00adsi\u00adons, each a few months apart. Ano\u00adther opti\u00adon is a com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adti\u00adon of auto\u00adlog\u00adous fat and implants, depen\u00adding on the con\u00addi\u00adti\u00adon of the skin.<\/p>\n

Important<\/u>: The decis\u00adi\u00adon to under\u00adgo auto\u00adlog\u00adous fat tre\u00adat\u00adment is very indi\u00advi\u00addu\u00adal. One of the most important pre\u00adre\u00adqui\u00adsi\u00adtes is the medi\u00adcal con\u00adsul\u00adta\u00adti\u00adon. Here we cla\u00adri\u00adfy all points and assess which results are fea\u00adsi\u00adble and rea\u00adli\u00adstic. If neces\u00adsa\u00adry, we recom\u00admend sui\u00adta\u00adble alter\u00adna\u00adti\u00adves.

Treatment for cheeks, temples, eye area, chest and body contouring<\/h2>\n

At the Swiss Der\u00adma Cli\u00adnic in Zurich, we use auto\u00adlog\u00adous fat to even out volu\u00adme and reju\u00adve\u00adna\u00adte the appearance, for example:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • On the face, for sun\u00adken cheeks, flat\u00adter temp\u00adles, loss of volu\u00adme around the eyes, for subt\u00adle facial reju\u00adve\u00adna\u00adti\u00adon and for face contouring.<\/li>\n
  • On the body for dis\u00adcreet breast cor\u00adrec\u00adtion, balan\u00adcing after weight loss, for body contouring.<\/li>\n
  • On the hands and d\u00e9col\u00adle\u00adt\u00e9, when the tis\u00adsue appears thin\u00adner or more aged.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    <\/h2>\n

    Not ideal for very loose and sagging skin<\/h2>\n

    In cases of sever\u00adely sag\u00adging skin, auto\u00adlog\u00adous fat injec\u00adtions are not suf\u00adfi\u00adci\u00adent. The\u00adre must be suf\u00adfi\u00adci\u00adent ela\u00ads\u00adti\u00adci\u00adty and no major excess skin. If auto\u00adlog\u00adous fat tre\u00adat\u00adment is not sui\u00adta\u00adble, com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adti\u00adon tre\u00adat\u00adments or sur\u00adgi\u00adcal tigh\u00adtening may be con\u00adside\u00adred. In addi\u00adti\u00adon, tre\u00adat\u00adment is often limi\u00adt\u00aded in very slim pati\u00adents as the\u00adre is not enough auto\u00adlog\u00adous fat available.<\/p>\n

    What about side effects and risks?<\/h2>\n

    Typi\u00adcal side effects such as slight swel\u00adling, brui\u00adsing or a fee\u00adling of tight\u00adness usual\u00adly subs\u00adi\u00adde within a few days. Com\u00adpli\u00adca\u00adti\u00adons such as fat necro\u00adsis, cysts or cal\u00adci\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adti\u00adons are rare if per\u00adfor\u00admed by a spe\u00adcia\u00adlist. Plea\u00adse note that weight fluc\u00adtua\u00adtions can affect the volu\u00adme of the trans\u00adplan\u00adted fat, as it is the body\u00ad\u2019s own tissue.<\/p>\n

    The com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adti\u00adon of lipo\u00adsuc\u00adtion and auto\u00adlog\u00adous fat trans\u00adfer is more than just \u201esuc\u00adtio\u00adning fat and injec\u00adting it else\u00adwhe\u00adre\u201c. It is more of a redis\u00adtri\u00adbu\u00adti\u00adon. With this approach, we can even out con\u00adtours and gent\u00adly build up volu\u00adme, gent\u00adly build up volu\u00adme and at the same time make tran\u00adsi\u00adti\u00adons appear more harmonious.<\/p>\n

    It is best sui\u00adted to peo\u00adp\u00adle who want a natu\u00adral chan\u00adge and under\u00adstand that good results often lie in fine-tuning. Not in the maxi\u00admum quan\u00adti\u00adty. But in the right distribution.<\/p>\n

    FAQ<\/h2>\n

    When does a com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adti\u00adon of lipo\u00adsuc\u00adtion and auto\u00adlog\u00adous fat trans\u00adfer make sense?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The pro\u00adce\u00addu\u00adre is par\u00adti\u00adcu\u00adlar\u00adly sui\u00adta\u00adble for peo\u00adp\u00adle who have excess fat\u00adty tis\u00adsue in one area and would like a mode\u00adra\u00adte increase in volu\u00adme in ano\u00adther. Good pre\u00adre\u00adqui\u00adsi\u00adtes for this are a sta\u00adble weight and suf\u00adfi\u00adci\u00adent own fat, for exam\u00adp\u00adle on the sto\u00admach, hips or thighs. If you have very litt\u00adle body fat or your weight fluc\u00adtua\u00adtes great\u00adly, plan\u00adning is limited.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Which are\u00adas of the body can be trea\u00adted with auto\u00adlog\u00adous fat?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Auto\u00adlog\u00adous fat is often used in the breast area, around the hips (for slim peo\u00adp\u00adle) and in the face for natu\u00adral reju\u00adve\u00adna\u00adti\u00adon. In the face, it can fill in sun\u00adken are\u00adas and make con\u00adtours appear sof\u00adter. On the chest, it is more sui\u00adta\u00adble for small to mode\u00adra\u00adte volu\u00adme enhance\u00adment. The d\u00e9col\u00adle\u00adt\u00e9, hips or minor asym\u00adme\u00adtries in various parts of the body can also be impro\u00adved with auto\u00adlog\u00adous fat, pro\u00advi\u00added the initi\u00adal situa\u00adti\u00adon is suitable.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    How long do the results last with auto\u00adlog\u00adous fat?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Some of the injec\u00adted fat cells grow in per\u00adma\u00adnent\u00adly, while others are bro\u00adken down by the body over the first few weeks and months. The final result is the\u00adr\u00ade\u00adfo\u00adre not imme\u00addia\u00adte\u00adly appa\u00adrent. In the long term, hea\u00adled auto\u00adlog\u00adous fat beha\u00adves like nor\u00admal fat\u00adty tis\u00adsue. In the event of signi\u00adfi\u00adcant weight fluc\u00adtua\u00adtions, the volu\u00adme in the trea\u00adted are\u00adas can also change.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Is it pos\u00adsi\u00adble to signi\u00adfi\u00adcant\u00adly enlar\u00adge a breast with auto\u00adlog\u00adous fat?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Auto\u00adlog\u00adous fat can be very sui\u00adta\u00adble for gent\u00adle to mode\u00adra\u00adte aug\u00admen\u00adta\u00adti\u00adon. Less so for a signi\u00adfi\u00adcant\u00adly lar\u00adger volu\u00adme increase. This is part\u00adly due to the heal\u00ading of the fat and part\u00adly becau\u00adse only a cer\u00adtain volu\u00adme can be suc\u00adcessful\u00adly intro\u00addu\u00adced into the tis\u00adsue per ses\u00adsi\u00adon. If you want a more signi\u00adfi\u00adcant increase in volu\u00adme, you will need seve\u00adral ses\u00adsi\u00adons or an alter\u00adna\u00adti\u00adve treatment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
