lipostructure

By lipostructure or lipofilling, fat of the body, mostly from areas around the umbilicus (navel) or hips, is used to fill wrinkles and folds in the face or dents in other places of the body.

Because 40 to 60 % of fat will disappear during the first week, more fat than needed for the correction itself is injected.

Haematocele or bruising frequently occurs after the lipostructure, but these will disappear after 1 to 2 weeks.

The operation is performed under a local anaesthetic and you can go home the same day.

After one month, the fat is completely built in the surrounding tissue. Therefore body fat can be considered as a tissue transplant.

Lipofilling is also the most natural way to fill out or smooth away wrinkles and never leads to allergic reactions.
