Lipofilling In Plastic Surgery

Lipofilling (or in another way - giro-filling) is a method widely used in plastic surgery. The essence of the method consists in taking fat tissue from the patient and introducing it into the area where it is necessary. A small incision is made to take the adipose tissue in the navel. The amount of tissue taken depends on where it will be used.

Often using lipofillinga contour plasty of the face, for example, increase the lips, increase the volume of the cheek-buccal region, carry out correction of nasolabial folds. Apply lipofilling for rejuvenation of hands.

Compared with fillers (for example, hyaluronic acid), which are also widely used in contour face plasty), lipofilling is regarded by specialists as a safer and more effective method. In fact, lipofilling is the transplantation or transplantation of living cells that are removed from the patient. That is why lipophilia excludes an allergic reaction or tissue rejection. In addition, a large number of stem cells are present in the fat, which provides good nutrition to the skin.

The method of lipofilling is also used in mammoplasty (breast augmentation surgery). Although in this case there are some limitations. The fact is that lipofilling allows you to increase the size of the breast by only 0.5 size. If there is a need for a larger size, surgeons resort to the help of silicone implants.

The lipofilling method is used to increase the shins (in the spinal cord), as well as to increase the upper part of the buttocks.

Lipofilling is also very effective in eliminating small depressions in the skin that may appear after the surgery (liposuction can also leave such an undesirable trace).

Lipofilling is considered an operation of medium complexity. It can be performed both under local and under general anesthesia - it depends on the size of the treated area and its position.

The rehabilitation period is usually without complications. If necessary, the operation can be repeated after 4-6 months.
