What is facial lipofilling?

Facial lipofilling involves the removal of fat from an area of your body and then re-injecting it into the areas of your face that you wish to reshape or enhance. The removed fat is then purified and prepared before being injected into precise areas of the face using micro-cannulas.

Facial lipofilling is one of the most innovative procedures in cosmetic surgery. This procedure eliminates laxity and adds volume to areas that have lost some or all of their fat due to aging.

Is facial lipofilling right for you?

In over 90% of cases, facial lipofilling is indicated for aesthetic enhancement. However, it may also be considered for facial reconstruction following trauma, congenital deformity, or disease.

If you have any of the following signs, facial lipofilling may be a good option for you:

• An increase in facial fat volume and oval restoration.
• Treatment of facial lipodystrophy caused either by excess or loss of facial fat or by sagging fat deposits.
• Rejuvenation and tightening of the facial skin.
• Filling of facial wrinkles such as marionette lines, temples, chin, nasolabial folds, or cervicofacial region.
• Correction of dark circles and imperfections of the lower eyelid (nasolabial folds).
• Correction of congenital deformities and facial trauma.
• Improvement of post-surgical facial atrophy or scarring.

In general, facial lipofilling is an ideal complement to other facial procedures such as facelift, rhinoplasty, or blepharoplasty.

Facial lipofilling in Turkey: Key stages of the procedure

Facial lipofilling in Turkey is an aesthetic procedure that uses the patient's own body fat to fill wrinkles, add volume, and improve the overall appearance of the face. Here are the key steps of the procedure:

1. Fat removal: A small amount of fat is removed from an area of the body where it is abundant, such as the hips or abdomen, using a gentle liposuction technique. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia for optimal patient comfort.
2. Fat cell preparation: The fat is then centrifuged to separate the healthy fat cells (adipocytes) from other tissues and fluids. The result is a pure, concentrated fat preparation ready for injection.
3. Fat Injection: Purified adipocytes are injected into targeted areas of the face using fine, precise cannulas. The surgeon uses a meticulous technique to distribute the fat evenly for a natural, harmonious result. Injections are performed under local anesthesia, but light sedation may be offered for added comfort.

Advantages of facial lipofilling in Turkey: Surgeon reviews

According to our plastic surgeons, this technique offers significant advantages over alternative solutions. Unlike resorbable injectables such as hyaluronic acid, lipofilling offers a permanent effect. Your own fat is permanently integrated into your tissues for a naturally enhanced face.

Lipofilling uses your own fat, eliminating any risk of allergic reaction or intolerance. This technique stimulates the production of collagen and elastin for firmer, brighter skin.

Don't hesitate to consult a qualified plastic surgeon to find out if facial lipofilling is right for you.

Potential Risks

As an autologous procedure in which we use the patient's own fat, facial lipofilling is very safe and avoids the risk of rejection that could be caused by the use of donor fat or synthetic material. The main risks arise from a poorly or carelessly performed procedure.

Potential risks and complications of facial fat grafting may include:

• Bruising and swelling at the injection sites: These symptoms usually go away within a few days or weeks.
• Asymmetry: Transplanted fat cells may not be evenly distributed, giving the face an asymmetrical appearance.
• Cell death: Some of the transplanted fat cells may die, resulting in a reduction in the size of the treated area.
• Ulcerations: In rare cases, sores may appear at the injection sites.
• Infection: As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of infection at the injection sites.
• Blood clots at injection sites.
• Allergic reaction to the local anesthetic used during the procedure.
• Adverse results: Results may not meet the patient's expectations and may require additional procedures to correct.

Thanks to the experience and expertise of our plastic surgeons, facial lipofilling guarantees natural-looking results. Unlike resorbable substances such as hyaluronic acid, whose effects fade over time, facial lipofilling offers long-lasting results.
