In fat transfer (lipofilling), autologous fat is suctioned and injected into other body parts for volume filling. The procedure is ideal for natural breast augmentation, buttock shaping (BBL), or facial rejuvenation.
Fact Check
- Process: Extraction by liposuction, processing, and reinjection of the fat.
- Application: Face (wrinkles, lips), breast, buttocks, hands.
- Advantage: No rejection reaction, as the body's own tissue is used.
- Duration: 1-2 hours, often possible on an outpatient basis.
- Durability: Part of the fat is broken down, the rest grows permanently (final result after 6 months).
- Recovery: Swelling for a few weeks, ability to work usually after a few days.
FAQ
Is the result permanent?
Yes, the fat cells that survive the healing phase remain permanently.
How much fat survives?
A part is broken down by the body, which is why a slight overcorrection is often performed.
Are there scars?
Only tiny puncture points arise at the extraction sites, which are barely visible.
