Postoperative rehabilitation involves caring not only for the lipofilling area, but also for the liposuction site. There are standard recommendations to consolidate the result and avoid side effects. The doctor can make adjustments depending on the individual characteristics of the client.
Indications for the lipofilling procedure
This method of creating the necessary volumes and youthful contours of the face and body is based on the use of natural body filler (adipose tissue). It is applicable for rejuvenation and correction not only of various areas of the face (temples, eyebrows, cheekbones, cheeks, lower and upper eyelids, chin), but also of the chest, buttocks, and thighs. Lip lipofilling is currently very popular.
Lipofilling is used for:
- rejuvenation of the neck and décolleté with thin skin, the appearance of wrinkles and folds;
- hand rejuvenation;
- elimination of the “triangular or fish” eye syndrome after upper eyelid surgery;
- correction of asymmetry between the right and left half of the face;
- getting rid of unevenness and “naked muscle” syndrome;
- replenishment of lost facial volumes;
- for the purpose of chin correction;
- breast enlargement by 1-1.5 sizes in 1 procedure without the use of implants;
- shape correction and buttock enlargement.

Lipofilling consists of 4 main stages, these are:
- Infiltration of the area of fat collection in order to reduce the density and moisturize the adipose tissue. And at the same stage, anesthesia of the donor area is performed.
- Fat harvesting (we manage to obtain an autograft of the minimum size, which has the greatest chance of complete engraftment)
- Fat preparation - purification and isolation of the most viable fat cells.
- Introduction of fat autograft (multi-level injection of fat, high survival rate due to a greater number of blood vessels located in different layers of tissue than in one. The combined distribution of fat - on different layers, allows you to fill deep voids and not create excessive surface volume).
Each stage must be carried out clearly in accordance with the rules that were formulated during long-term experience in conducting operations.
Benefits of lipofilling
- Fat is not a hydrophilic filler (does not attract water), which means there will be no swelling in the correction area.
- You can correct areas with a required filler volume of more than 3 ml.
- Permanently takes root in tissues, and fillers based on hyaluronic acid have a validity period of 6 – 18 months
- Natural filler, your own
As a result, lipofilling surgery with lifelong results is much cheaper than introducing the same volume of gel on a temporary basis.

How is lipofilling performed?
The procedure for body correction using your own fat cells is carried out in several stages.
First of all, the doctor performs manipulations to obtain material for transplantation, using a large syringe with an atraumatic cannula. This helps prevent damage to fat cells.
At the second stage, the material selected for transplantation is purified. The success of the procedure will largely depend on how thoroughly lymphocytes and blood cells are removed from it. For this purpose, the donor fat is placed in a centrifuge, in which the material is purified and then carefully filtered.
At the last stage, the graft is transplanted to the desired location using a syringe. The introduction of fat is carried out slowly and in small portions.
Advantages of the technique
Body lipofilling is a gentle technique. It does not cause visible damage to skin cells, such as noticeable scars and cicatrices. Other advantages include:
- a small percentage of fat cell rejection;
- the most natural appearance of the area that has undergone correction;
- the possibility of performing the operation under local anesthesia.
However, it should be remembered that such a figure correction procedure can be nullified by sudden changes in the patient’s hormonal levels or body weight.
Lipofilling: indications
Lipofilling is performed on various parts of the body and face. This procedure is performed if:
- patient dissatisfaction with volume or shape;
- asymmetry of contours;
- loss of elasticity.
In the case of the lower legs, lipofilling allows you to solve or make invisible problems such as:
- curvature of bones;
- irregular shape;
- abundance of muscle mass;
- defects resulting from trauma.
Indications for lipofilling are also a woman’s dissatisfaction with the shape and size of her breasts. In this case, the material for transplantation is taken from the area of the thighs, abdomen or buttocks.
ˮ Remember that with lipofilling it is impossible to increase breast size by several sizes.
This procedure can also be combined with plastic surgery, which involves the introduction of endoprostheses in order to hide their boundaries and give the mammary gland the most natural contours.
Lipofilling is also effective in cases where it is necessary to eliminate breast asymmetry. In this case, fat cell transplantation can be carried out only in the upper part of the mammary gland.
The risk of rejection of the injected material is minimized, since we are talking about the patient’s own tissues.
It should be understood that the transplanted fat cells grow into blood vessels over time. This means that they become the same participants in metabolic processes as cells that were not transplanted. Thus, lipofilling allows you to correct figure imperfections in the most natural way possible.
