Facial lipofilling involves re-injecting the patient's own fat to restore volume lost over time: cheekbones, temples, nasolabial folds, lips. A natural and long-lasting result.
Assessment of facial volumes, skin quality, and areas to be corrected (cheekbones, temples, dark circles, folds, lips). Photographic assessment, choice of donor areas, personalized Microfat/Nanofat planning, and pre-anesthetic work-up.
Fat is harvested by micro-liposuction, purified, and then re-injected in targeted areas. Microfat restores deep volume (cheekbones, temples, chin, jawline) with a structural effect. Nanofat, very finely filtered, is injected superficially to improve skin quality (radiance, texture, fine lines, pigmented dark circles, and scars).
Age-related volume loss, hollow temples, dark circles, flat cheekbones, mild facial asymmetries, crepey or dull skin. Indicated for patients seeking natural rejuvenation without synthetic filler.

Microfat is used to restore volume (cheekbones, temples). Nanofat, more finely filtered, is injected superficially to improve skin quality and treat dark circles. The two are often combined.
About 60 to 70% of the injected fat takes permanently. The surgeon anticipates this partial resorption by injecting slightly more. The final result is assessed at 3 months.
Fat is harvested from a donor area such as the abdomen, hips, or thighs. The amounts needed for the face are small (20-50 ml), so there is no visible effect on the donor area.
Yes, lipofilling offers a more durable and natural result. However, it requires a minor surgical procedure, unlike injections which are done in the office. The two approaches can be complementary.
The fat that takes is permanently integrated. It ages naturally with the face. Touch-ups may be offered after several years if needed.
