Lipofilling is a cosmetic procedure that involves transferring fat from one area of the body to another. This is often done to enhance the volume of areas such as the lips, cheeks, or breasts.
Process Overview:
Liposuction: Fat is extracted from a donor area, usually from the abdomen, thighs, or hips, using liposuction techniques.
Fat Processing: The extracted fat is processed to separate it from other tissues.
Injection: The processed fat is injected into the desired area, such as the lips.
Advantages of Lipofilling:
Natural Appearance: Using one’s own fat creates a more natural look compared to fillers.
Long-Lasting Results: Although some of the injected fat may be absorbed, the remaining fat can provide lasting volume.
Minimal Scarring: Lipofilling is a minimally invasive procedure, resulting in minimal scarring.
It is important to have a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon to thoroughly discuss both the patient’s goals and medical history, and to determine the best possible outcome of the surgical procedure.
