Facial lipotransfer
Shape your body with your own fat
What is facial lipotransfer?
Facial lipotransfer is a technique that allows you to achieve volume in different areas of the face by using your own fat as a filler material, through the Coleman technique.
Using your own fat avoids the need for synthetic or semi-synthetic materials, which can cause complications such as extrusion or foreign body reaction, and subsequent rejection.
The results obtained with autologous fat grafting are very satisfactory, both in aesthetic and reconstructive cases, in small and large quantities.
Debido a la versatilidad de la técnica y la durabilidad a largo plazo del volumen obtenido, consideramos que el tejido graso propio cumple con todos los requisitos para ser el método de elección en el tratamiento de pérdidas de volumen, así como para la remodelación y reparación de distintas partes del cuerpo.
What does the procedure involve?
For this procedure we use the Body-Jet Lipotransfer liposuction device to extract fat from your abdomen or the inner side of your knees or thighs.
Al extraerse la grasa mediante agua a presión, el postoperatorio es mucho menos doloroso, y la grasa extraída es de gran calidad.
Esta grasa es posteriormente lavada y centrifugada, para luego ser infiltrada en la zona facial que deseamos aumentar, a través de pequeñas incisiones (1 o 2).
*You may experience swelling and some discomfort, which will subside in the hours following the procedure.

¿Qué tipo de anestesia es aplicada para el procedimiento?
Depending on the facial area being treated, this type of procedure is performed under local anesthesia or, if you prefer, general anesthesia. You can discuss this directly with the anesthesiologist.

Since anesthesia is applied during facial fat transfer, there is no pain during the procedure. However, there may be some discomfort or temporary pain afterward.
Can facial fat transfer eliminate cellulite?
Facial lipotransfer is not a specific treatment for cellulite, but it can help improve the volume and appearance of the skin in the treated areas.
What are the aftercare instructions for facial fat transfer?
You will wear a compression garment in the liposuction area for 2-3 weeks. Some bruising or swelling may be present in the treated facial area for the first few days. Depending on the amount of fat removed from the donor area, lymphatic drainage may be necessary.
