Facial Fat Grafting of face lipofilling is the transplant of autologous fat cells taken from a donor site located in another area of the body (abdominal fat, inner thighs, etc.). These fat cells are injected into very specific areas of the face to give volume to certain parts of the face.
Why have a lipofilling?
With age, or after significant weight loss, the face gradually loses its volume and definition. The cheekbones sag and the furrows widen, giving the face a tired and aged appearance.
Goal
The fat injected in the right places makes it possible to find volume and younger and more harmonious contours. It helps fill flattened cheekbones, fill furrows and hollow temples.
The injected fat, once settled, provides more durable and natural filling than hyaluronic acid since it is a natural filler!
In addition, the stem cells contained in the injected fat can boost the skin cells, thus improving its quality.
What face lipofilling cannot do
Does not remove excess of skin; it would have to be combined with a facelift.
Scars
Face lipofilling does not require incisions. The injection is done by syringes through 1mm holes that are well hidden in the natural folds of the skin. So there is no scar.
