Facial lipofilling

Remaining beautiful and young with minimal consequences and at an affordable cost is made possible by the technique of aesthetic correction using its own fat. Lipofilling of cheekbones, lips, eyelids and other areas of the face in the Clinic of Plastic Cosmetic Surgery in Poltava will safely and effectively restore contours, add volume and rejuvenate the skin at an affordable cost.

Face lipofilling - how is it?

Lipofilling is a non-surgical method for correcting facial contours, getting rid of cosmetic defects and age-related changes. In which the natural filler of tissues - fat, is transferred from the zone with an excess to the zone with a deficiency. The collection takes place in donor areas on the body: abdomen, thighs, buttocks, knees. An important point is that the patient must have a sufficient amount of material for transplantation.

It is a gentle, minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia, without incisions or scars. For facial surgery, a small amount of fat is taken using special cannulas with rounded ends. Adipocytes are cleansed, saturated with platelets for better engraftment and are injected in layers into the eyelids, cheekbones and cheeks, nasolabial folds, temples, chin, lips, forming ideal features.

Indications and prohibitions

Why do lipofilling on the face:

• to get rid of deep nasolabial wrinkles, nasolacrimal folds;

To make an appointment for the procedure, you need to contact the Clinic and come for an examination to a specialist. Who will tell you how much manipulation costs to patients from Kiev, Kharkov and other cities of Ukraine.

Procedure, preparation

The manipulation does not require special preparation, except for standard examinations and blood tests. The only thing is to stop smoking, taking alcohol and anticoagulants.

The operation takes place under local anesthesia for an hour. It can be conditionally divided into 3 stages:

1. A small volume of fatty material is taken from the donor area by cannulas through small punctures. Most often it is the belly.
2. The resulting fat is processed, cleaned in a centrifuge, and enriched with platelets.
3. The finished biomaterial is gradually introduced to the required depth into the receptive area to correct the shape or add volume. The doctor controls the process so that there is no asymmetry and overcorrection.

Sutures are not applied to punctures; they are usually sealed with a plaster. If everything is in order, the patient can go home.

Complication risks, recovery

What complications and side effects can be:

• swelling and bruising;
• soreness and discomfort;
• numbness of tissues;
• rapid resorption of fat (often in smoking patients);
• asymmetry of features.

In 7-10 days, most of the discomfort goes away on its own. For everything to heal faster, you need to follow the postoperative rules during rehabilitation:

• do not smoke, do not take alcohol, so that the fat is better absorbed;
• avoid physical activity;
• do not sunbathe;
• do not use cosmetics;
• less to touch the face;
• apply to the skin, the means prescribed by the doctor.

As the reviews say, the effect of lipofilling is visible immediately, however, the final result will be in about a month or two, when the edema subsides and the adipose tissue finally takes root. The persistence of the result depends on the patient's metabolism, the individual characteristics of the human body. If the fat is quickly removed, the repeated procedure can be done no earlier than 6 months after the first one.

Pros of manipulation

The main advantages of lipofilling:

• safety and lack of allergies, thanks to auto fat;
• anti-age effect due to stem cells in adipose tissue;
• minimally invasive and exclusion of general anesthesia;
• no scars and scars after;
• easy and short rehabilitation;
• instantly noticeable, long-lasting natural effect;
• affordable price compared to other types of plastics.

If the patient has contraindications for a facelift or Botox injections, then the operation remains the only available method of rejuvenation.
