With age, the subcutaneous adipose tissue tends to thin out, and also changes its position relative to other tissues. Common manifestations of this process – thinning and sagging skin on the dorsal side of the hands, decollete area, shifting of cheek areas on the face, etc. Also, by performing this surgical manipulation, it's possible to adjust even larger volumes – breast asymmetry, buttocks and other body parts.

The performance of lipofilling is possible if there are areas of the body, which allows the harvesting of one's own adipose tissue while maintaining aesthetic proportions. Sometimes patients express a desire to "remove a little here and add a little there." In such cases, it is appropriate to discuss comprehensive liposuction and lipofilling procedures. The survival rate of the transferred fat is 50-70% of the injected amount. In this way, a predictable effect is achieved, lasting much longer than the use of hyaluronic acid-based fillers. [accordion][accor_block title="INDICATIONS FOR LIPOFILLING"]

• presence of age-related changes in the soft tissues of the face, hands
• asymmetry of the cheekbones, middle and lower facial zones, nasolabial folds, corners of the mouth
• relative asymmetry of the breasts, hips, buttocks, etc.

[/accor_block][accor_block title="TECHNIQUE OF THE PROCEDURE"] Fat tissue is harvested from the donor area by the principle of aspiration liposuction in an amount necessary for the correction of the recipient area. The obtained material (fat) is mechanically washed, prepared for injection and introduced through small punctures in the skin of 1-2 mm according to the markings into the areas that need to be corrected. Lipofilling is primarily performed under local anesthesia, sometimes in combination with sedative therapy, the collection of a large amount of material (fat) followed by its introduction can also be done under general anesthesia: intravenous or endotracheal anesthesia [/accor_block][accor_block title="OPERATION DURATION"] the duration of the operation is from 1 to 2 hours [/accor_block][accor_block title="HOSPITAL STAY"] for small volumes, a hospital stay is not required, in other cases, 1 day [/accor_block][accor_block title="POSTOPERATIVE PERIOD AND REHABILITATION"] Pain persists for 1-2 days, Swelling for 3-5 days, bruises may occur. Normal physical activity is allowed from the third week. 2 weeks restriction on heat exposure both on the harvest area and the insertion area. [/accor_block][accor_block title="RISKS"] Modern surgical techniques, the surgeon's qualification and the clinic's equipment level allow to minimize possible risks. Nevertheless, you need to be aware of potential complications, which you can learn about in the informed consent for the surgery. [/accor_block][/accordion]
