Facial lipofilling
Facial lipofilling restores volume without interfering with natural features
Facial lipofilling is a correction method that uses your own fat tissue to delicately restore volume and contours. The procedure allows you to achieve a soft, balanced result, taking into account the anatomy and individual features of the face.
About the facial lipofilling procedure
Facial fat grafting, also known as facial lipofilling, is a surgical correction technique that uses the patient’s own fat tissue to restore volume and improve facial contours. The procedure allows delicate correction of areas where volume is lost due to aging or individual anatomical characteristics.
Unlike synthetic fillers, lipofilling uses a biologically compatible material, which reduces the risk of rejection and provides a more natural-looking result. The procedure does not alter facial features but restores balance and proportion.
Procedure concept and surgical approach
Facial fat grafting involves harvesting fat tissue from a donor area, processing it, and carefully injecting it into facial areas that require correction. An essential part of the procedure is even distribution of the tissue to achieve a natural outcome.
During facial lipofilling, the following areas may be corrected:
-
cheekbones and midface
-
nasolabial folds
-
under-eye area
-
temporal region
-
jawline contours
The extent of intervention and target areas are determined individually, taking facial anatomy and the desired result into account.
Who facial fat grafting is suitable for
Facial fat grafting is recommended for patients with soft tissue volume loss, age-related changes, or facial asymmetry. The procedure is suitable for those seeking a natural result without the use of synthetic fillers.
The best outcome is achieved when the patient is in stable general health, has sufficient donor fat tissue, and follows postoperative recommendations.
Individual planning and safety
Before the procedure, a consultation is conducted to assess facial tissue condition, proportions, and donor areas. An individualized correction plan is developed with a predictable outcome.
Facial fat grafting is performed in accordance with clinical safety standards and is accompanied by medical supervision at all stages.
Recovery after facial fat grafting
After the procedure, swelling and temporary changes in sensitivity may occur and gradually subside. The final result forms after stabilization of the grafted tissue and full adaptation of the body.
Indications for Facial Fat Grafting
Facial fat grafting is indicated for volume loss, age-related changes, facial asymmetry, and the need for subtle contour correction.
Contraindications for Facial Fat Grafting
Facial fat grafting is not performed in the presence of acute illnesses, active infections, coagulation disorders, or general contraindications to surgical procedures.
Preparation for Facial Fat Grafting Procedure
Preparation for the facial fat grafting procedure includes consultation with a surgeon, medical evaluation, and adherence to preoperative recommendations.
Recovery After Facial Fat Grafting
Recovery after facial fat grafting involves temporary activity restrictions, care of treated areas, and follow-up examinations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Facial Fat Grafting
Facial Plastic Surgery
How does facial fat grafting differ from fillers?
Facial fat grafting uses the patient’s own fat tissue, whereas fillers are synthetic or semi-synthetic materials. This allows for a more natural appearance and reduces the risk of adverse reactions.
Does the transferred fat survive?
A portion of the transferred fat survives and becomes a permanent part of the restored volume. The final result is assessed several months after the procedure.
Is repeat correction sometimes required?
In some cases, an additional procedure may be needed to achieve the desired volume. This depends on individual healing characteristics and tissue response.
What does the result look like immediately after the procedure?
Swelling may temporarily affect facial appearance immediately after the procedure. As swelling subsides, the result becomes more natural and stable.
Are scars left after the procedure?
Facial fat grafting is performed through minimal punctures that usually become virtually invisible over time. Noticeable scars typically do not remain.
How long-lasting is the effect?
The effect of facial fat grafting is long-lasting, although it may change over time due to natural aging processes and individual physiological factors.
