Facial lipofilling

lipofilling, lipostructure

Facial lipofilling is a surgical procedure during which the patient’s own fat is injected into the remodeled areas. It results in round and harmonic facial features and youthful appearance.

Facial lipofilling helps to:

reduce wrinkles
fill sagging skin
restore fullness of the face
fill hollow eye sockets
add perfection to other procedures e.g facelifts

As lipofilling uses the patient’s own fatty tissue, no allergic reaction will be caused.

Surgery at Christinas Clinic

The procedure starts by liposuction from patient’s donor areas. 5 mm incisions are made in patient’s donor areas, which are mainly abdomen or tights. A cannula is inserted to first loosen and then remove localized fat deposits. The wounds are closed with absorbable sutures.

Liposuction is followed by filtering and washing the fat in saline to remove blood and oil. The isolated fat cells are then reinjected in the face through small cannulas. This injection does not leave any wounds nor scars.

After the procedure Your face will be fixed in bandages for 4-5 days.
