Lipofilling (Fat Graft)

Autologous fat is cheap and abundant. It Is the best material to treat significant facial or body contour irregularities.

Procedure

Fatty material is aspirated with special cannulas. It is washed, filtered, and purified. Pure fat cell concentrate is then injected with special needles.

Results

These are viable fat cell grafts. Thus it follows all the requirement of tissue grafts.

Indications

Facial loss of volume, body contour defects, and after weight loss are the usual indications.

Complications

Partial loss of the grafted cells occurs when they are absorbed by the body. Donor site selection and harvesting technique are crucial for high fat cell survival.

Recovery

Swelling at the recipient site and bruising of the donor site are common. They both eventually resolve completely.

Anesthesia

Topical and local anesthesia with or without sedation.

How can I maximize my graft take?

Several factors play significant role in fat cell survival. You will be advised about what will maximize your benefit.

When will the final result become evident?

It takes at least 3 months before one is able to ascertain the survival rate of fat cells.

Is it possible to add more volume secondarily?

Yes, once the fat cell volume has stabilized in the recipient site, additional fat cell can be added.
