Body lipofilling
Fat grafting to reshape body contours with own tissue
MADRID | ZURICH
Body lipofilling, also known as fat grafting or lipotransfer, is a technique used to reshape different areas of the body using the patient's own fat.
This technique allows fat to be removed from areas of excess fat by liposuction and reused to augment or redefine other areas of the body, such as the breasts, buttocks or hips.
In many cases, lipofilling can be used as an alternative to implants or in combination with implants to achieve more natural results in reshaping the silhouette.
At our clinics in Madrid and Zurich, each treatment is individually planned to determine which areas can benefit from fat grafting and how to achieve a harmonious body contour.

Instructions
What body lipofilling can improve
Body lipofilling is used to improve the volume and contour of certain areas of the body using autologous fat.
Depending on the case, this procedure can help:
- increase volume in certain areas of the body
- improving the shape and contour of the silhouette
- correcting small asymmetries
- reshaping the body using your own fat
Lipotransfer is often used to treat areas such as the breasts, buttocks or hips, depending on the patient's anatomy and treatment goals.
The choice of donor and recipient sites depends on the patient's anatomy and treatment goals.
Procedure
How the Lipotransfer procedure is performed
The lipotransfer procedure is performed in several stages.
Initial liposuction
First, liposuction is performed on the targeted areas, using devices designed to remove the fat properly so that it can be reused as a graft.
The fat obtained is carefully treated to purify it and remove impurities in order to preserve the quality of the fat cells.
Fat preparation
The extracted fat is subjected to centrifugation and fluid separation processes to obtain adipose tissue suitable for re-injection.
This process helps to improve the survival of fat cells and reduce their reabsorption.
Graft injection
Once prepared, the fat is injected using fine cannulas into the areas to be treated, such as the breasts, buttocks or hips.
The infiltration techniques are carried out strategically to improve the volume and shape of the treated area and to promote a natural result.
One of the advantages of lipofilling is that it allows fat to be removed from areas of excess fat and used to improve other areas of the body.
Results
Duration of fat grafting results
Once the fat grafting is properly integrated into the tissues, the results are usually long-lasting in terms of volume and localisation, as the grafted tissue becomes part of the treated area without the risk of migration.
However, the natural ageing process of the skin and tissues continues over time, so age-related changes may influence the evolution of the results.
In some cases, the lipofilling procedure may be repeated in the future in order to improve or adjust the volume obtained.
Combination
Complementary treatments to the fat grafting procedure
Fat grafting can be performed as a stand-alone procedure or combined with other cosmetic surgery techniques.
In some cases, lipotransfer can be combined with breast implants to improve the shape and achieve a more natural transition between the tissues.
In addition, by means of purification processes of the extracted fat, it is possible to obtain:
- microfat, used to provide volume in certain areas
- nanograss, used to improve the quality of the skin due to its concentration of regenerative cells.
These variants of fat grafting allow for expanded treatment possibilities in both body contouring and facial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does lipofilling use the patient's own fat?
Yes, the procedure uses fat obtained by liposuction from other areas of the body, which is then purified and injected into the areas to be improved.
On which areas of the body can lipofilling be performed?
The most common areas include the breasts, buttocks and hips, although the indication depends on the anatomy and treatment objectives.
Are the results of fat grafting permanent?
Once fat is integrated into the tissues, the volume gained can be maintained over the long term. However, the body's natural ageing process continues over time.
Can it be combined with other procedures?
Yes, in some cases it can be combined with implants or other procedures to improve the overall result of body contouring.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery depends on the areas treated, although in many cases patients can return to normal activity within a few days.
