Lipofilling has completely transformed the concept of body contouring surgery. In many cases, it is a substitute procedure that eliminates the need for silicone implants to reshape the figure. It can be used for breast augmentation, gluteal enhancement, or hip remodeling, among other procedures. It is even common to combine it with implants to achieve more natural and appealing results.
Thanks to our extensive experience and the use of state-of-the-art technology, as well as ongoing academic research, we are a leading authority in this field. We offer effective and long-lasting results, sculpting our patients’ silhouettes in a safe and professional manner.
How is the body fat transfer procedure performed?
- Initial Liposuction
First, we perform liposuction on selected areas using equipment specifically designed to reuse the fat as a graft. The extracted fat is carefully purified and filtered to ensure the highest quality of fat cells. - Fat Preparation
The extracted fat undergoes centrifugation and fluid separation, yielding adipose tissue suitable for injection into other areas of the body. This step is crucial to maximize cell survival and minimize reabsorption. - Graft Injection
Once ready, the fat is injected using very fine cannulas into the target areas (e.g., breasts, buttocks, or hips). We employ strategic infiltration techniques to achieve a natural result, correcting asymmetries and enhancing the desired volume.
One of the great advantages of this technique is the ability to precisely modulate the injection, removing fat from areas where it is in excess and filling those that require enhancement.

How long do body fat grafts last?
Once the fat graft is integrated into the tissues, the results remain long-lasting in terms of size and location, with no risk of migration.
However, it is important to remember that the aging process of the skin and tissues continues over time. The procedure can be repeated in the short or long term until the desired shapes and sizes are achieved.
Since autologous tissue is used, the results look and feel natural and harmonious.

Additional procedures to body fat grafting
Lipotransfer can be performed as a standalone treatment or, in many cases, combined with breast augmentation using silicone implants. In addition, it is possible to transform the macrofat obtained through a purification process into microfat or nanofat, which are used to:
Add volume to the facial area (microfat).
Improve skin quality (nanofat), thanks to its high concentration of regenerative cells.
This approach maximizes the benefits of fat grafting, delivering natural and harmonious results, both in the body silhouette and the face.
