Dark Circles Lipofilling
Facial lipofilling – rejuvenation using own fat tissue
Lipofilling is an aesthetic surgical procedure whereby own fat, suctioned from the same person’s abdomen or thighs, is processed and injected into areas of facial ageing without volume and with thinned skin. Thus, one of the first choices in combating dark circles with thinned skin and skin colour changed and filling lost volume of the cheekbones or facial contouring.
Lipofilling uses natural attributes of fat cells to combat the phenomenon of ageing. With the passing of the years, the skin thins, favouring the appearance of wrinkles, dark circles and skin laxity increase. Lipofilling is “filling” those areas suffering the action of ageing and offers a natural rejuvenating effect without risk of rejection by the body of the injected collagen.
The initial examination
During the first consultation you will discuss with your doctor about grievances, wishes and expectations and also about your medical history and possible risks. You will receive the most suitable expert medical advice for your specific case.
This is the best opportunity to ask the doctor any questions about the surgery and also to see before/after pictures of other patients who underwent the same procedure.
Fat extraction
Fat can be taken from any part of the body that has enough fat deposits. In most cases abdomen or inner and outer thighs are preferred. Under local anaesthesia, a small incision is made through which the required amount is aspired. Extraction is performed so that the traces of the incision will be minimum, unperceivable.
Fat processing
The extracted amount is subject to processing before being injected. It consists of centrifuging and purifying the fat to get maximum value and to be easily inserted later into the organism.
Injecting the processed fat
The fat is injected in small quantities and evenly distributed proportionally to the volume required by the points chosen at the level of the treatment site in form of bundles.
Thus, the transplanted cells provide maximum contact with the adjacent tissues, such as skin, muscles, and cartilage. The latter will provide oxygen and nutrients needed for optimal growth.
Post-operative recovery
The entire procedure takes about 60-90 minutes and is done under local anaesthesia, so you can go home the same day.
Since it uses own fat, there is no risk of allergy or rejection reactions, but it is normal to see some swelling immediately after surgery, which will withdraw in up to a week.
You can return to work after a week, observing the instructions that you will receive from the doctor on discharge.
