What is the lipofilling<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Lipofilling or injecting autologous fat, or injections of fat, is a procedure that consists of the removal of the patient\u2019s own fat, its treatment, and its use to recuperate lost volume or to increase the volume of areas that need it, both in the face as well as in other areas of the body. In the face it can be used to enhance the cheeks and the chin, reduce sagging such as nasolabial furrows (furrows between the nose and the corners of the mouth), marionette lines (furrows that go from the corners of the mouth to the jaw), and naso-ocular furrows (eye bag furrows). A full facial treatment can also be performed by treating different areas where it is needed, whilst at the same time achieving an all-round improvement in the face in those cases where it is indicated. Likewise, treatment with facial lipofilling improves the quality and appearance of the skin.<\/p>

This procedure can be combined with a face lift and other procedures.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Surgery time<\/span><\/h4>
It depends on the areas to be treated or whether the lipofilling is combined with another procedure, but on average it takes about 1 hour.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>

Anaesthesia<\/span><\/h4>
A local anaesthesia or some sedation is used if the lipofilling is performed on its own, or according to the areas to be treated. General anaesthesia or sedation is used if it is combined with other treatments or over extensive areas.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>

Hospitalization<\/span><\/h4>
If the procedure is performed on a limited area without other procedures. If the area to be treated is extensive and\/or other procedures are combined, hospital admission may be required.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The operation<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Lipofilling consists of the extraction of fat from the areas where it has accumulated, its treatment, and its placement where required using very fine cannula tubes in order to increase volume, reduce furrows, and improve not only an oval face but also skin quality.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

The post-operative<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Post-operative care for facial lipofilling varies according to the area treated. If the area is small, the patient will be able to resume their daily life immediately, whilst avoiding exertions. The treated area will remain swollen for some time but the swelling will go down. Recovery will be similar in cases where an extensive area has been treated, bearing in mind that the swollen area will be larger.<\/p>

It\u2019s important to avoid exposure to sunshine in the area treated, and to use close-fitting garments on the areas where we have extracted the fat.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
