FACIAL LIPOFILLING

Facial lipofilling is a medical-surgical technique that consists of taking fat from an opulent area (stomach, hips) in order to inject it into an area of the face affected by aging (facial wrinkles, etc.).

By giving your skin a boost of radiance thanks to facial lipofilling, you will quickly find a rejuvenated face , clear and well-remodeled skin . During your very first consultation, the cosmetic surgeon at your Clinique de la Croix d'Or will take the time to assess your needs to guide you towards the best facial aesthetic treatment( s) for your skin.

For the treatment of volume loss or wrinkles, you can for example be directed towards hyaluronic acid injection or botulinum toxin injection (botox). To find out more about our aesthetic treatments, do not hesitate to contact us.

In order to make an accurate diagnosis of your needs, your cosmetic doctor begins by carefully examining your face. He or she will ensure that facial lipofilling is the most appropriate solution for treating your skin. Your practitioner can then offer you a different aesthetic treatment if he or she considers that another treatment better meets your expectations. If lipofilling is the best aesthetic treatment for your skin, the procedure can then begin.

First of all, your cosmetic surgeon starts by ensuring that you do not have any contraindications. Once this check is done, he will define with you the areas of fat to be taken as well as the recipient areas . Your practitioner then ensures rigorous cleaning of the injected area as well as the fat donor area.

Once the areas have been identified and cleaned, your plastic surgeon can begin harvesting the fat tissue using a syringe. This operation is performed on a donor area of your body such as the abdomen, hips or thighs. Depending on the amount of fat needed to be injected into your face, your surgeon may make one or more small incisions. Finally, once the fat has been harvested and purified, your doctor can begin injecting fat into the recipient area of your face. This step is carried out strategically to ensure that this autograft takes hold properly.

The procedure is most often performed under local anesthesia. The lipofilling session is almost painless and never lasts more than 2 hours, depending on the number of areas to be treated and the surfaces concerned. At the end of the session, the first results are already visible. We systematically see you again within 15 days after your visit to our clinic to assess the results of your operation.

After leaving the clinic, you simply need to follow the instructions and prescriptions of your cosmetic doctor to ensure your convalescence. The result of lipofilling is often stable over time. Depending on the treatment plan defined with your cosmetic surgeon, several lipofilling sessions may be necessary.
