Lipofilling

Lipofilling

Many girls want to make their figure more voluminous - emphasize the curves of the buttocks, adjust the shape of the chest and legs. These problems are solved by lipofilling - a technique for replenishing volume using the patient’s own fat. It is taken from places of excess accumulation and transferred to areas of deficiency.
The main advantages of the method are safety and effectiveness. The body does not reject its own cells, which means the risk of complications is minimal. The technique is also actively used in the correction of age-related changes. With its help, you can restore expressiveness to your face: make your eyelids more open and the contour of your lips clearer.

At the ForMe clinic in St. Petersburg, lipofilling is performed by competent plastic surgeons. Thanks to modern technology, hereads as safe and accessible to a wide range of patients.

Types of lipofilling

cheekbones

Replenishes the necessary volumes, improves skin quality, and has a rejuvenating effect. In this case, fat cells are cleaned, crushed and injected into the facial area using the filler principle. With the help of nanolipofilling, you can remove bags and dark circles under the eyes, fill in hollows, and smooth out wrinkles. The technique allows you to enlarge your lips without filler, give expressiveness to your cheekbones and correct the contour of your chin.

Preparing for surgery

Consultation.

At the appointment, the doctor examines the patient’s body, clarifies the indications, wishes for volume and correction zones. Evaluates the presence of donor fat and the general condition of the skin. At this stage, contraindications, stages of surgery, and recovery period are discussed.

Surveys.
To eliminate risks, the patient will have to undergo examination. It includes blood tests - clinical and biochemical, as well as a urine test. You need to be checked for infections: hepatitis, HIV, syphilis. The blood type and Rh factor are determined. The patient also undergoes ECG, fluorography, and ultrasound examination of the veins of the lower extremities. The full list of studies depends on the characteristics of the organism.
Day of surgery.
The patient enters the clinic and signs documents. Then he moves into the ward. After placement, the patient will have a consultation with an anesthesiologist and a meeting with a surgeon.

How is lipofilling performed?

The operation is performed under anesthesia.
The surgeon treats the donor area.
Usually its role is played by the abdomen or thighs.
A special Klein mixture is injected under the skin.
It reduces bleeding and helps maintain the structure of fat cells.
After 15–20 minutes, fat collection begins.
Unlike liposuction, where fat is utilized, the goal of lipofilling is to maintain the viability of fat cells. The graft is harvested using a PAL vibration device. It is characterized by minimal trauma.
The graft is placed in a closed, sterile system.
There it is filtered, washed, and cleared of connective tissue, blood cells and other impurities. For the face area, fat cells are further crushed so that they are evenly distributed and the result is more natural.
The doctor introduces the prepared material into the desired area.

Rehabilitation

  • Bruising and swelling disappear 10–14 days after plastic surgery.

  • You should avoid physical activity for a month.

  • For 3-4 months it is important to give up baths, saunas, and solariums.

  • You cannot massage in the transplant area.

  • After liposculpture, you should wear compression garments.

  • Small incisions heal quickly and become almost invisible. To make the scars even less visible, after six months you can sign up for laser resurfacing to smooth them out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does lipofilling last?

The operation leads to lasting, often lifelong results. This distinguishes the procedure from hardware techniques for body and face correction.

Will constant correction of lipofilling results be necessary?

The procedure does not require mandatory periodic repetition. However, in some cases, several successive operations may be necessary to achieve the desired result. In addition, sometimes a significant part of the transplanted fat tissue is resorbed. In this case, repeated lipofilling can also be performed.

How long after the operation can the result be assessed?

During the first month after lipofilling, swelling in the correction area prevents you from fully seeing the effect of the procedure. The final result of the surgeon’s work can only be assessed as the body fully recovers - no earlier than 2-3 months after the operation.
