In some cases lipofilling can be combined with other aesthetic or surgical procedures. This allows for a more comprehensive approach to body or facial contour correction. The treatment plan is always developed individually during the consultation.

Lipofilling
Lipofilling allows natural restoration of volume and improvement of facial or body contours using the patient’s own fat tissue.
Lipofilling is a modern procedure in which the patient’s own fat tissue is used to correct volume and contours. Fat is taken from one area of the body, purified using special techniques, and then injected into another area to restore or enhance volume. This approach provides a natural-looking result because the procedure uses the patient’s own biological material.
About the service
Lipofilling is a procedure involving the transfer of the patient’s own fat tissue to restore volume and improve the contours of the face or body. During the procedure, fat is collected from areas where it is present in excess, processed using special techniques, and then injected into the area that requires correction.
Lipofilling is commonly used for facial contouring, lip enhancement, restoration of cheek volume, improvement of chin contours, and body modeling — for example, buttock augmentation or correction of breast shape.
The use of the patient’s own fat allows for a natural result and reduces the risk of allergic reactions, as the injected material is fully biologically compatible.
Indications for lipofilling
Lipofilling can be used to correct various aesthetic concerns related to loss of volume or contour irregularities.
The most common indications:
• loss of facial volume
• facial or body asymmetry
• the need to increase volume in certain areas
• correction of age-related changes
• improvement of contours after other procedures
Before the procedure, the doctor evaluates tissue condition, the amount of fat available for harvesting, and determines the optimal injection area.
How the lipofilling procedure is performed
The lipofilling procedure consists of several stages. First, fat tissue is harvested from a donor area — usually the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. This is done using special thin cannulas.
The collected fat is then purified and prepared before being injected into the target area in small portions. This technique allows the tissue to be distributed evenly and creates a natural volume.
The duration of the procedure depends on the extent of correction and the number of areas being treated.
Individual approach
Lipofilling is always planned individually. The doctor takes into account the patient’s anatomical characteristics, tissue condition, desired results, and the possibilities of donor areas.
Modern fat processing techniques help improve the stability of the result and increase fat cell survival. Following the doctor’s recommendations after the procedure helps achieve more predictable and long-lasting results.
Indications for lipofilling
Lipofilling is used to restore or increase volume in different areas of the face and body. The procedure may be recommended for age-related volume loss, asymmetry, or contour correction. It is often used for facial contouring, lips, buttocks, or breast enhancement. The final decision about the procedure is made after consultation with a doctor.
Contraindications for lipofilling
The procedure is not performed in cases of acute infectious diseases, blood clotting disorders, or severe chronic conditions. Lipofilling is also not recommended during pregnancy or when inflammatory processes are present in the treatment area. Before the procedure, the patient undergoes a medical examination. This helps assess possible risks.
Preparation for lipofilling
Preparation for lipofilling begins with a medical consultation and the necessary examinations. The patient may be advised to undergo laboratory tests or additional consultations with specialists. A few days before the procedure it is usually recommended to limit alcohol consumption and avoid certain medications. Following these recommendations helps prepare the body for the procedure.
Recovery after lipofilling
After the procedure, mild swelling or temporary discomfort may occur in the treated area. Minor changes may also appear in the donor area where the fat was harvested. These effects usually gradually disappear within several days or weeks. The doctor provides recommendations for recovery and care.

Frequently asked questions about lipofilling
Body Contouring with Fillers
Which areas can be treated with lipofilling
Lipofilling can be used to correct both facial and body areas. It is commonly performed for the cheeks, lips, chin, nasolabial folds, or temple area. In body contouring, the procedure may be used for buttock augmentation, breast contour correction, or improvement of body proportions. The final treatment plan is determined individually.
Does all the injected fat survive
Not all injected fat cells survive after the procedure. Some fat cells successfully integrate into the surrounding tissues, while others may be naturally absorbed by the body. For this reason, doctors may sometimes inject a slightly larger volume of fat. The final result develops gradually over several months.
Does the result look natural
Since the procedure uses the patient’s own fat tissue, the result usually looks very natural. The fat tissue integrates into the surrounding tissues and adapts to the body. This allows for soft and natural contours.
When will the results be visible
Initial changes are visible immediately after the procedure, but the final result develops gradually. Part of the volume may change during the process of fat cell integration. The final outcome is usually evaluated after several months.
How long the results last
Fat cells that successfully survive after the procedure may remain in the tissues for a long time. However, the result can be influenced by weight changes or natural aging processes. Maintaining a stable body weight helps preserve the effect.
