Lipofilling is a natural filler method involving a person's own fat cells that is used to restore volume loss, define contours and contour the face or body. This procedure has become increasingly popular in the aesthetic world due to its long-lasting results and low risk of complications compared to synthetic fillers. It offers a reliable alternative for people who want to rejuvenate the skin and correct volume loss caused by aging, weight loss or genetic factors.
What is Lipofilling?
Lipofilling is the process of transferring fat from areas of the body with excess fat accumulation to another area where volume is desired. For example, fat from areas such as the abdomen, waist or thighs can be purified with special techniques and used to fill the lines on the face, add volume to the lips or shape areas such as the buttocks and breasts.
This method is notable for providing a completely natural filling as the person's own fat cells are used. Fat cells are not only used for filling; they also contribute to skin regeneration and increased elasticity in the injected area thanks to the stem cells they contain. Lipofilling is a procedure that is preferred by both women and men and has wide application areas.
How is Lipofilling Performed?
Lipofilling is a minimally invasive procedure usually performed under local anesthesia. The procedure consists of several steps:
Fat Removal: First, the areas of the patient's body with excess fat (such as abdomen, waist, thighs) are determined. Fat cells are carefully removed from these areas with liposuction method. This stage also helps to reduce excess fat deposits.
Purification of Fat: The removed fat cells are purified through a special process. During this purification process, healthy and live fat cells are separated, thus increasing the retention rate of the injected fat.
Injection of Fat: The purified fat is injected into the targeted area with the help of fine needles. The amount of fat injected is adjusted according to the patient's needs and aesthetic goals. This process is performed with great precision to achieve a natural look.
The procedure usually takes 1-2 hours. This method, which allows the person to both get rid of excess fat and add volume to certain areas, has gained an important place in the aesthetic world as a natural rejuvenation tool.
Which Areas is Lipofilling Applied to?
Lipofilling has a wide range of applications, including the face and body. These areas can be listed as follows:
Face: It is ideal for making facial contours such as cheeks, cheekbones, lips and jawline more prominent and adding volume. It is also often used to remove depressions under the eyes and fill fine wrinkles. Fat injection provides effective results in facial rejuvenation by increasing the natural elasticity of the skin.
Buttocks It is a common area of choice for patients who want to add volume to the buttocks area and achieve a fuller, shaped appearance. It plays an important role in procedures such as Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL).
Breast: It is a reliable method to increase the volume of the breasts and provide a more natural appearance. It is preferred as an alternative to synthetic implants.
Hands and Decolletage: It offers an effective solution to rejuvenate the hands and décolleté, which lose volume over time. Filling in these areas reduces the signs of aging and makes the skin look younger.
What are the Advantages of Lipofilling?
Lipofilling stands out as a natural method using one's own fat cells and offers many advantages in the aesthetic world. The use of one's own fat cells ensures that the filler is fully compatible with the body and allows for long-lasting, natural-looking results. This method not only adds volume to the area to be filled, but also contributes to the shaping of the areas from which fat is removed, thus offering a double-effective result.
The risk of allergic reactions that can be seen in synthetic fillers is completely eliminated in lipofilling, which increases the reliability of the method. This method, which can be applied in many different areas from the face to the body, stands out with its wide usage area. In addition, since it is not a surgical procedure, the recovery period is very short and the risk of scarring after the procedure is minimal.
