Transfer of autologous fat to other parts of the body

The main advantages of this method

– Maximum patient friendliness

– Rapid healing and subsequent convalescence

– Less physical strain on the surgeon, who can concentrate on the aesthetic aspect of the procedure

– The liposuctioned fat cells are only minimally damaged and can be processed further

Lipografting

Nano fat grafting

This special technique, sometimes referred to as micro fat grafting, is based on the method mentioned above. However, the fat to be transferred to the new site is further modified so that it consists of very small fat particles. The fat is then injected in layers. This method is used with particular success in the treatment of wrinkles, the temple area, dark circles under the eyes, etc. This technique makes it possible to replace even larger areas of fat loss and target them precisely.

Use of lipotransfer by location

Face

The procedure is performed under general or local anesthesia. The following areas of the face are most commonly treated:

– lips, which gain fullness and freshness as a result of the procedure

– Deep wrinkles and sunken scars that need to be filled in to smooth and even out the skin

– Cheekbones that previously required implants due to fat loss

– Chin

– Area of the temples

– Nasolabial folds

– The eye area, where the correction of sunken eyes and dark circles or upper eyelids sunken under the edge of the eye socket can be performed

Hands

Our hands are exposed to many tasks every day that dry out, rub or otherwise stress the skin. The wear and tear on the skin of the hands can therefore be considerable. And since the hands also serve as a means of communication and naturally attract attention, we need to look after them properly so that they harmonize with our overall appearance. The backs of the hands in particular show signs of ageing. Tendons begin to show, bones become prominent and the skin becomes thinner and scabby. Your own fat can turn back the appearance of your hands by several years. The skin gains volume, tightens and the bones and tendons are covered more smoothly.

The intimate area of women

Women who visit a plastic surgeon to improve the appearance of their labia majora can be reassured that this is a very popular procedure. Fat loss in these areas is the result of major weight loss or advancing age. Both manifest themselves in sagging and wrinkling of the skin. The transfer of autologous fat from a selected area of the body solves this problem and replenishes the lost volume.

Advice for patients

As the procedure is performed in two stages, the first of which is liposuction, the same recommendations apply here as for liposuction.

Before the procedure, the patient undergoes the usual pre-operative examinations. The requirements for the examinations depend on the age of the person undergoing surgery. The basic examinations include ECG, lung X-ray, laboratory tests and some others. Interested patients will receive precise instructions from the doctor conducting the consultation.

The interval between the last infectious disease and surgery must be at least 2 – 3 months.

It is necessary to discontinue all medications that cause increased bleeding. Two months before the operation, it is advisable to stop taking contraceptive pills as they increase the risk of embolism. You should not drink alcohol the day before the procedure. Do not smoke for at least one month before the procedure and for at least two weeks after the procedure. Smoking impairs healing. Do not eat or drink anything 6 hours before the procedure. On the day of the operation, it is advisable to take a bath, not to apply make-up and not to paint your fingernails and toenails.

After a major operation, a one-day stay in a medical facility is required. There may be a slight stinging pain, which can be relieved with painkillers for 2-3 days at home. Physical activity is strictly limited for the first 14 days to avoid sudden bleeding and traction on the scar. A return to work is recommended after 7 to 14 days. Temporary changes in skin sensitivity or asymmetry may occur due to the unabsorbed fluid injected into the body during the procedure.

Contraindications

The contraindications for the procedure are high blood pressure, diabetes, heart and lung diseases, bleeding, tendency to embolisms, treatment of carcinoma, active herpes, etc.
