What is lipofilling?
Lipofilling is an aesthetic plastic surgery on the face, in which adipose tissue is placed in the area of the lips and nasolabial folds. Fat globules are collected from the inner thighs or in the lower part of the abdomen, where the procedure is may be performed most painlessly.
Advantages of lipofilling
The undoubted advantages of lip augmentation due to transplantation of adipose tissue include:
- no risk of allergic reactions and rejection;
- performing the procedure under local anesthesia;
- quick rehabilitation.
Indications and Contraindications
Any client who desires to improve or change the appearance can undergo surgical correction of lips at the Platinum Laser clinic; however, there are cases where the procedure is specifically indicated or contraindicated.
It is advisable to resort to lipofilling if you have:
- thin lips;
- lips without clear boundaries;
- flat lip shape;
- a disproportion of the mouth.
Lipofilling is not suitable for people with a very low-fat mass since the collection of material for the operation, in this case, is impossible.
This applies to:
- people suffering from anorexia;
- athletes with a small amount of subcutaneous fat.
Lipofilling is undesirable for people with unstable and often changing body mass (prone to weight gain). Changes in body fat balance can adversely affect the appearance of the lips.
Lipofilling process
How does the operation take place? Fat tissue is taken from the donor area using a special surgical instrument with a fine needle, then filtered and cleaned, after it is dosed into the facial areas which are required correction.
Duration of the operation and results
Lipofilling procedure lasts from 30 minutes to up 2 hours, depending on the complexity and amount of the desired changes, then the patient can go home.
After completing the procedure, you will receive:
- permanent and long-lasting effect;
- the ability to increase the lips in size and volume, to make their outlines more clear and pronounced;
- the opportunity to remove wrinkles around the mouth;
- natural skin rejuvenation in the area of transplantation due to the stimulation of tissue regeneration processes.
Rehabilitation period and aftercare
Since the patient’s body quickly adapts to its own fat tissue, the rehabilitation period is very quick. Reviews of patients and doctors showed that after one or two weeks, the swelling subsides, though you can return to normal life a couple of days after the operation. You can find out about what additional care is needed at a consultation at the Platinum Laser clinic.
