FACIAL LIPOFILLING – FACIAL LIPOSTRUCTURE<\/b><\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Lipofilling or reinjection of fat after lipoaspiration, also called Lipostructure, is used in cosmetic surgery to fill in and attenuate certain wrinkles on the face.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

What are the indications for facial lipofilling ?<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

Lipostructure or lipofilling has been reliably used in cosmetic surgery since 1995.<\/p>\n

The principle is to first remove fat cells from the patient himself by gentle liposuction, then to reinject these cells to fill a depression or lack of facial volume.<\/p>\n

This technique will therefore make it possible to :<\/p>\n

    \n
  • fill in and reduce certain facial wrinkles<\/li>\n
  • restore the volume and shape of a thinned face in the early stages of facial aging (fat melting)<\/li>\n
  • improve the results of a cervico-facial lift (facial harmony)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The whole body can benefit from this technique, especially to treat certain rare irregularities after liposuction or to fill a tissue depression following a trauma (depressive scar…).<\/p>\n

    HIV+ patients undergoing triple therapy and presenting a fatty melting of the face can also benefit from lipofilling sessions to correct these disgraces.<\/p>\n

    In the indications of so-called “reconstructive” surgery, lipofilling can be covered by health insurance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    What are the principles ?<\/h2><\/div>
    <\/div>
    \n

    The lipoaspiration performed as part of a lipofilling is done very gently through an incision of a few millimeters, hidden in a natural fold.<\/p>\n

    The fat is then centrifuged in order to collect intact fat cells that have not been damaged by the liposuction.<\/p>\n

    The reinjection of the fat cells is carried out using micro-cannulas of 1mm diameter.<\/p>\n

    The fat cells will remain “alive” since it is an “adipocyte graft”. The result is therefore definitive after a few months, with no loss of volume (unlike injections of resorbable filler such as hyaluronic acid).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    What are the post-operative after-effects ? <\/h2><\/div>
    <\/div>
    \n

    Pain is not very important, well controlled by the analgesics that will be prescribed to you.<\/p>\n

    Edema (swelling) and bruises (bruises) present in the postoperative period are reabsorbed in 10 to 20 days.<\/p>\n

    A very slight overcorrection is usual, since a resorption of the fat re-injected is expected in the order of 20 to 30% within 3 to 6 months. It is therefore only after this time that the final result can be appreciated.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
