What does facial lipofilling involve?

More and more people are demanding to undergo a safe and quick procedure that can restore youth to their face, as well as the firm and radiant appearance they had years ago.

Facial lipofilling is an extraordinary way to rejuvenate and contour the imperfections that appear on our face. This is due to loss of volume in the facial area over time.

On one hand, we improve skin quality and facial turgidity, and on the other, we eliminate sagging by restoring lost angles, achieving a double effect in both aesthetics and health.

Lipofilling is essentially used to repair surface skin imperfections such as scars, hollows around the eyes and cheeks. It is an aesthetic surgery procedure that offers surprising and natural results.

We are talking about a minimally invasive and quick procedure with permanent effects. It does not resort to chemical substances or artificial implants to restore beauty to the face. Once injected, our body absorbs part of the fat, so around 70% of the transferred fat will remain in the area.

How is the procedure performed?

Distributing the fat is very important to ensure the beauty of our face. With good lipofilling we can improve the volume of areas like the cheekbones and lips. We can also effectively eliminate wrinkles on our skin such as the famous code bars and other types of creases.

Facial filling with body fat or facial lipofilling in Madrid is an innovative technique in advanced aesthetic medicine. This should be performed by a team of qualified professionals who are constantly updated in the field.

Local anesthesia is used for lipofilling, and depending on the area it can be complemented with sedation. Hospitalization is not required for this procedure, as it is an outpatient treatment.

The first step to correctly perform a lipofilling procedure is to conduct a detailed study of each patient’s case. We evaluate which areas of the body we can extract fatty tissue from. These areas are usually the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and so on.

Fat is extracted through a fine special tube to prevent fat cells from breaking via mini-liposuction in the recipient areas.

Once the adipocytes are extracted, they are treated with solutions and centrifuged to separate cells that are still alive from those that are not, allowing us to transfer the former to the area to be treated. Through microtubes, the fat is injected into the chosen facial area until the desired results are achieved.

The number of cells that remain can vary between 30% and 70%, which is why it is recommended to repeat the procedure between 2 and 3 sessions until achieving the volume the patient desires.

Frequently Asked Questions about Facial Lipofilling in Madrid

This procedure is indicated for all those individuals who wish to correct imperfections such as wrinkles, creases, loss of volume, or facial scars using body fat.

One of the most important characteristics of this surgical treatment is that it can also be used by those who want to take advantage of fat obtained from a liposuction procedure and transfer it to the face.

The natural aging process causes a loss of skin collagen and the resulting appearance of wrinkles, volume loss, sagging, and/or expression lines. The fat located beneath the skin of the face that keeps it firm also disappears over time, leaving a sense of hollowness.

As a consequence of this fat loss, wrinkles become more pronounced and creases appear. The next phase following this absence of fat in the skin is the appearance of an aged and tired face, sometimes even a sad expression. With lipofilling, we restore joy and youth to the face.

With facial lipofilling, this loss of fat is replenished, making the face firm and radiant again. It has been proven that both skin pigmentation and sun damage improve with a fat transfer to the face. We achieve an improvement in skin in every aspect.

In addition to increasing facial volume, facial lipofilling reduces scars and improves the quality and elasticity of the surrounding skin.

The advantages of the treatment are:

  • By introducing fat between the skin and muscle, skin quality improves substantially since we are adding both nutrients and vascularization.
  • Outpatient procedure.
  • Results are permanent and natural.

Wrinkles are eliminated and the skin regains its firmness.

This procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis, without requiring hospitalization. We can leave the clinic on the same day on our own. This makes the postoperative period quite straightforward and without many complications.

It is impossible for our body to react adversely to the injected fat, since it is tissue produced directly by our own body. After the procedure, it is normal to experience discomfort in the form of swelling, as well as the appearance of bruising in the treated area.

We will see results immediately, although we will need to wait for a certain amount of fat to be absorbed to verify the final appearance of our face. We should keep the skin hydrated and avoid substances such as alcohol and tobacco.
