What does the procedure involve?
Lipofilling uses fat harvested from the patient's own body, which is processed and injected into another area to add volume and improve contour. It is used in both facial and body areas depending on the indication.
It is a valuable technique when the goal is an organic result and a more natural integration of the transferred tissue.
When do we recommend it?
- Volume deficit in the face or body.
- Need to correct mild asymmetries.
- Patients who prefer their own tissue over implants or fillers.
- Cases combined with liposuction to reshape and reuse fat.
The CLA Surgery approach
Take from where there is excess, add where it is missing
The key lies in carefully selecting donor and recipient areas, and explaining that part of the fat is normally reabsorbed during the first months.
Recovery overview
First days
Dual swelling
Both the donor and the recipient areas go through recovery.
Week 1
Gentle activity
The early stage is usually manageable with basic care and follow-up.
Week 4
More stable volume
It starts to become clear which part of the graft integrates best.
Months 3-6
Settled result
The surviving volume of the fat graft stabilises.
Frequently asked questions
Does the grafted fat last forever?
The portion that takes successfully can last long term, although an initial fraction is reabsorbed.
Can it be used for the buttocks or the face?
Yes. It can be used in different areas as long as it is indicated and there is a sufficient donor area.
Is it combined with liposuction?
Very often, because the fat is obtained precisely through selective liposuction.
