Fat transfer, also known as lipofilling or lipostructure, is a surgical technique that aims to reshape the body by removing fat from areas where it is in excess (thighs, stomach, hips) and injecting it into areas where it is lacking (breasts, buttocks, face).
Two main techniques:
- Liposuction: Fat is suctioned out using a cannula.
- Fat injection: The fat is grafted into the target areas.
Different areas of application:
- Breast augmentation: Alternative to implants
- Buttock augmentation: Restore volume and curve the silhouette
- Facial rejuvenation: Correction of wrinkles and lost volume
- Treatment of lipodystrophies: Improve the body shape in case of abnormal fat distribution
Advantages of fat transfer:
- Natural and biocompatible technique
- Long-lasting result
- Corrects multiple areas in a single procedure
- Reduces scarring
Recovery and aftercare:
- Rest and wear compression garments for a few weeks
- Bruising and swelling for several days
- Sensitivity and discomfort in the treated areas
Fat transfer is a serious procedure that should be performed by a qualified and experienced cosmetic surgeon.
