lipofilling
Why facial lipofilling?
With age, the distribution of fat in the face changes. Some areas become deeper, others become heavier and wrinkles appear.
Lipofilling is a procedure that injects and redistributes your own facial fat in order to restore a youthful and rested appearance or to sculpt the features. This technique is a good alternative to resorbable injections of synthetic origin.
The surgeon first performs a small liposuction to take the small amount of fat needed; the areas of collection are the abdomen and the inside of the knees. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and lasts between one and two hours in total.
There is no risk of allergy or rejection since the fat used is the patient’s own fat and is rich in growth factor, which therefore improves the quality of the skin.
Unlike hyaluronic acid, which is a completely resorbable product, fat grafting is resorbed in small quantities and can therefore be considered as almost permanent.
The result of facial lipofilling is visible immediately but will be permanent after three to six months.
Lipofilling can also be used to reshape the body, such as the buttocks and breasts, or to correct the after-effects of previous procedures such as overly aggressive liposuction or scar filling.

Progress of your transformation
During your first consultation with one of our specialised doctors, we will analyse together the scope of your objectives and expectations. This will allow us to define the methods of intervention and/or treatments required to meet your needs.
We will also take care to inform you of the potential limitations and inconveniences that may arise depending on said treatments or operations. We will also discuss pre- and post-operative issues in order to give you our recommendations and inform you of the actions and reflexes to take in case of complications. All important information will be given to you verbally and in writing.
You will have the opportunity to clarify any unclear areas and have all the key information to make a decision.
At the end of our first meeting, we will be able to:
- plan treatments and/or procedures (including type of anaesthesia)
- set up your medical file
- prepare a complete quote
This appointment may be the occasion to set a date for the operation if you choose to do so, and to inform you of the modalities of anaesthesia according to the solutions required by your desires. Of course, some decisions require time and we will be there to answer your questions and clarify your doubts.
It is possible to pay for your treatment in several instalments.
Following surgery, it is normal for your body to react. Some symptoms are common and by no means alarming. Symptoms that could lead to more serious complications are rare, and if they occur, our team of caregivers will be available to take care of you.
If you observe these symptoms, there is no need to worry:
- after 48 hours, a slight increase in temperature
- after 72 hours, small amounts of blood in the dressings
- a slight increase in inflammation or swelling
However, if you observe the following symptoms, please contact us:
- more than 38.5° fever and chills – severe swelling, especially if it is located on one side
- pain and redness of the operated area Keep in mind that your recovery period will depend on the type of surgery and factors specific to you.
We are all unique, so the details of your recovery cannot be entirely predictable. You begin a physical, but also emotional, transformation process. Be patient and let your body do what it does best. If you have any doubts, we are here for you.

Frequently asked questions
Buttock implants are a mandatory choice when the patient does not have much fat. This is a more cumbersome and costly procedure.
