Lipofilling treatment
Lipofilling: Natural Solution to Restoring Volume
Are you looking to restore volume, fill wrinkles, or improve body contour in a 100% natural way? LipofillingFat grafting, or fat grafting, is an innovative procedure that uses the patient's own fat as a filler. At Doctores López Clinic, we are experts in this technique, which allows us to reduce fat from unwanted areas in a single procedure and use it to add volume where it's most needed, achieving long-lasting and completely biocompatible results.
Our goal is to sculpt your figure and rejuvenate your face or body safely and naturally, utilizing your own body's resources.
It is performed in an operating room or minor surgery suite under local anesthesia or sedation, depending on the extent of the treatment.
Relative rest is recommended. Swelling and bruising may occur in both the donor and recipient areas. Pressure on the grafted areas should be avoided to ensure the survival of the fat.
Once the grafted fat has integrated and vascularized (usually within 3-6 months), the results are long-lasting and permanent. The percentage of fat that survives varies from patient to patient.
What is Lipofilling and How Does It Work?
Lipofilling is a surgical procedure consisting of three main phases:
Fat Extraction (Liposuction): A small amount of fat is removed from a donor area where it has accumulated undesirably (e.g., abdomen, flanks, hips, or thighs) using gentle liposuction.
Fat Purification: The extracted fat is processed and purified in a closed system to separate intact and viable fat cells, discarding fluids and damaged cells.
Fat Infiltration: The purified fat is carefully injected into the recipient area (e.g., face, breasts, buttocks, hands) to restore volume and improve contour.
Because the patient's own fat is used, the risk of rejection or allergic reaction is practically zero. Furthermore, the stem cells present in the fatty tissue have a regenerative effect that improves the quality of the skin in the treated area.
Care for your Lipofilling Treatment
At Doctores López Clinic, we are known for providing personalized care to our patients, always taking into account their individual circumstances and needs. Therefore, each of our treatments is tailored to each patient who comes to our clinic seeking a harmonious contour.
Avoid blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen) 10 days before surgery. Avoid smoking 2 weeks before and after surgery, as this can affect fat retention. Follow your doctor's preoperative instructions.
It's essential to avoid applying pressure or massaging the graft site. Wear compression garments on the donor area if indicated. Avoid intense physical exercise and excessive heat (saunas) for 2-4 weeks. Follow your surgeon's instructions for optimal recovery.
