In the process of lipofilling such a natural filler for soft tissues as fat is transferred from one part of the body into another. An important condition is that the patient must have sufficient reserves of fat in the abdomen area, thighs, flanks. These are donor zones from where the collection of the necessary amount of fat is taken.

Indications for lipofilling

Lipofilling is applied for non-surgical correction in order to:

  • Smooth wrinkles.
  • Fill the nasolacrimal grooves, nasolabial folds.
  • Enhance lip volume.
  • Change the shape and size of the nose, chin, cheekbones, lower legs.
  • Augment the mammary glands, buttocks.
  • Align the contour of post-traumatic defects.

General contraindications: cancer, cardiovascular and acute infectious diseases, chronic hypertensive disease, thyroid disorders, diabetes mellitus, blood-clotting disorder.

Peculiarities and stages of lipofilling

Fatty tissue is a natural material for our body, its implantation does not trigger the mechanism of immune protection. Fat tends to dissolve over time, therefore, it is necessary to have a repeat procedure within 2-4 months. It is possible to inject a limited amount of fat in one session. Collection and insertion of fat are carried out through special metal tubes (cannulas) and skin punctures.

One lipofilling procedure consists of three main stages:

  1. Fat from the donor area is absorbed through a vacuum apparatus.
  2. Fat cells are prepared, processed and purified through centrifugation.
  3. Fat is inserted in the required zones of face and body. Fat injections are performed linearly, in layers and in small portions. This technique contributes to better engraftment of fatty tissue.
