Benefits of Face Lipofilling
Procedure of the face lipofilling in plastic surgery centers is very popular among patients. It is often combined with liposuction for the following reasons:
- the risk of allergic complications is minimal since the patient’s own fat is used for transplantation;
- fat tissue is injected by injection – no seams or scars remain on the skin;
- well tolerated by patients – the rehabilitation period is 1-2 weeks;
- the natural effect of the operation – unlike synthetic grafts, their own fat is engrafted and evenly distributed under the skin;
- low price – lipofilling is cheaper than contour plastics and many other plastic operations on the face.
Indications and Contraindications
All indications for lipofilling are divided into aesthetic and reconstructive. In the first case, we are talking about age-related changes in the skin of the face and the disproportions of its individual features. Lipofilling helps to smooth wrinkles, remove bags under the eyes, highlight lips and cheekbones, as well as correct the shape of the face.
Reconstructive surgery is recommended in the occasions when a person has injured face or defects from birth. In such cases, the fat is naturally distributed under the skin for the maximum natural effect.
Contraindications to lipofilling:
- severe chronic diseases;
- acute inflammatory process;
- bleeding disorders;
- endocrine diseases – diabetes mellitus, pathology of the thyroid gland;
- period of pregnancy and lactation.
The process of facial lipofilling
The procedure is carried out in several stages:
- The patient is brought to the operating room. The doctor takes pictures of the face and marks the area of the upcoming operation. Lipofilling often uses local anesthesia.
- The surgeon takes fat from predetermined zones. Typical places for this are the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, back, sides, and legs.
- The fat is centrifuged and filtered.
- The resulting mix injected into problem areas on the face: lips, cheekbones, lower eyelid, etc.
- The operation is completed, and the patient is transferred to the ward.
Results
The result of lipofilling is the correction of the problem areas on the face with a natural transplant. Fat settles down at 60-70%, so it is usually injected in larger quantities. Sometimes for optimal results it may take 2-3 procedures but the result will stay with for 3 and more years.
Rehabilitation period and aftercare
The rehabilitation period lasts about 10-14 days. At this time it is recommended:
- avoid irritation of the areas of fat intake and transplantation;
- it is desirable to stop smoking and taking alcohol;
- avoid baths and saunas;
- avoid physical exertion;
- follow a balanced diet.
