Facial lipofilling

Lipofilling of the face is the restoration of facial contours and volume using own fat cells. The procedure involves the transposition of fat cells from the zone where they are in excess, to the area where the lack of their volume is being observed. This operation has many advantages over the use of various fillers and implants. Own fat tissue is not rejected by the body; it quickly gets accustomed and upon completion of the rehabilitation period it becomes a fully functioning part with nerve endings and blood vessels.
