Lipofilling (injection of fat from your own body)
From the age of 30, the age-related shrinkage of the epidermis, dermis and fatty tissue increases – especially on the cheeks and in the area between the nose and lips (nasolabial folds). Deep rings often form on the lower eyelids as the skin sags. These and other changes can be treated very advantageously with lipofilling (injection of the patient’s own fat).
Autologous fat reconstruction is the most natural form of volume fillingg of tissue deficits. In the lipofilling procedure, small amounts of autologous fat are removed, for example from the stomach or thighs, professionally processed and then injected into the area to be treated. This method is particularly suitable for smaller defects, for injecting scars or wrinkles and for Lip augmentation (injection). In some cases, several sessions are necessary for injections with autologous fat in order to achieve the desired effect. Known complications such as oil cysts and calcifications are rare with modern technology.
The augmentation of breast volume with fatty tissue from the patient’s own body is a special indication. We have put some information together on this for you separately.
