Fat Transfer (Lipotransfer) – A Natural Rejuvenation Method
Fat transfer, also known as lipotransfer, is a modern and natural method for body contouring and rejuvenation that uses the patient’s own fat tissue. The procedure involves harvesting fat from a donor site, such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips, and precisely injecting it into a selected recipient site, such as the face, neck, décolletage, or hands.
How does the lipotransfer procedure work?
The procedure consists of several stages:
- Fat harvesting: Using gentle liposuction from a selected donor site (usually the abdomen or thighs), the doctor extracts the required amount of fat tissue.
- Preparation of the material: The harvested fat is purified and prepared for transplantation.
- Fat injection: The prepared fat is precisely injected into selected recipient areas, such as the face, neck, décolletage, or hands.
Who is lipotransfer for?
Lipotransfer is intended for individuals who want to:
- Rejuvenate and revitalize the face, neck, décolletage, or hands.
- Enhance the shape and volume of selected body areas naturally.
- Avoid the use of synthetic fillers.
- Benefit from a dual effect – body contouring at the donor site and improved appearance of the recipient area.
Main benefits of fat transfer
Fat transfer offers numerous advantages, including:
- Natural effect: Using the patient’s own fat tissue ensures a natural look and minimizes the risk of allergic reactions.
- Durability: A portion of the transferred fat remains permanently in the recipient area, providing long-lasting results.
- Dual benefit: The procedure allows for body contouring at the donor site while simultaneously rejuvenating and revitalizing the recipient area.
Results of lipotransfer
The effects of fat transfer are visible almost immediately after the procedure and include:
- Improved volume and firmness in the recipient area.
- Smoothing of wrinkles and reduction of signs of aging.
- Natural skin firming and hydration.
Recovery after the procedure
Recovery after lipotransfer is relatively short. Patients may experience slight swelling or bruising at the donor and recipient sites, which usually subsides within a few days. It is recommended to avoid intense physical activity for about a week and to follow the doctor’s skincare instructions.
Fat transfer is an excellent choice for individuals seeking a natural, effective, and long-lasting way to enhance their appearance and revitalize their body. Schedule a consultation to learn more about how lipotransfer can help you!
