Natural volume with your own tissue

Body lipofilling is a regenerative surgery technique that uses autologous fat, harvested via liposuction, to reshape and add volume to various areas of the body. It is indicated for:

  • Correction of asymmetries or skin depressions
  • Volume enhancement of the buttocks or hips
  • Scar contouring and revision
  • Improving skin quality in the treated areas

A dual benefit: donor areas are contoured with liposuction while recipient areas are enriched with 100% biological, completely natural tissue.

The journey

Stages of the treatment


Donor sites, available fat volume, recipient areas, and tissue quality are evaluated to plan the surgery.

Pre-operative examinations: blood chemistry tests, ECG, anesthesiology consultation.

  • Duration: 2 – 3 hours
  • Anesthesia: local with sedation or general
  • Hospital stay: day surgery or 1 night

Fat is harvested using microcannulas from the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, purified by centrifugation, and reinjected into the target areas to be reshaped.

A compression garment is worn over the donor areas for 3-4 weeks. Edema and bruising resolve within a few days.

  • Resumption of light activities: 7–10 days
  • Full recovery: 3–4 weeks
  • Final result: 3–6 months

frequently asked questions

FAQ


Does the reinjected fat last over time?

A percentage is reabsorbed during the first few months; the remainder (60–70%) is stable and long-lasting.

Can the procedure be repeated?

Yes, in some cases a second session is scheduled to optimize the result.

Are the scars visible?

No, they are only a few millimeters long in both donor and injection areas.

Is the result natural?

Extremely natural, as the patient’s own tissue is used.

Can multiple areas be treated?

Yes, depending on the available fat volume, multiple areas can be treated during the same session.
