Fat grafting to restore facial volume and improve skin quality
MADRID | ZURICH
Facial lipofilling, also known as facial fat grafting or lipotransfer, It is a technique used to restore facial volume using the patient's own fat.
Over time, facial volume loss is one of the most visible changes of aging. Lipotransfer allows to restore volume in certain areas of the face and improve the appearance of the skin, contributing to a more balanced and rejuvenated appearance.
The fat cells used in the graft contain biological components that can promote tissue regeneration, helping to improve skin quality in the treated areas.
In our clinics in Madrid and Zurich, the procedure is planned individually to treat areas such as cheekbones, lips, or nasolabial folds, or to complement other facial surgeries, such as facelifts.

Instructions
What can facial lipofilling improve?
Facial lipofilling is primarily used for restore volume to the face and improve skin quality using autologous fat.
Depending on the patient's needs, this procedure can help to:
- to regain facial volume lost over time
- improve the definition of certain areas of the face
- fill wrinkles or deep furrows
- improve skin quality and texture
Among the areas that can most frequently be treated by lipotransfer are: the cheekbones, lips and nasolabial fold, However, the choice depends on the patient's anatomy and the treatment goals.
Types of facial fat grafting
The most suitable type of fat graft depends on factors such as skin type, age, and facial features. In our practice, we primarily use two types of grafts:
Microfat
It consists of purified and centrifuged fat used to add volume to different areas of the face. It is applied subcutaneously and allows for filling areas such as cheekbones, lips, or other areas that require increased volume.
Nanofat
It is a microfat derivative with a more liquid consistency and is rich in regenerative cells. It is injected directly into the skin to improve its quality and promote skin revitalization.
In many cases, both types of grafts are combined to achieve a personalized and balanced result.
Prodecisions
How is facial lipotransfer performed?
The procedure is usually performed under sedation combined with local anesthesia.
First, fat is extracted from pre-selected body areas, such as the abdomen or thighs. This fat is then purified and prepared for reinjection into the facial areas that require volume or rejuvenation.
The infiltration is performed by thin cannulas, This allows for precise application of the graft and avoids visible scarring.
Thanks to this technique it is possible Redefine the shape of the face, restore volume to certain areas, and improve the appearance of deep wrinkles or facial lines., achieving natural results.
Results
Duration of facial fat grafting results
When the fat graft integrates correctly into the tissues, the results are usually durable in terms of volume and location.
Lipotransfer allows for the restoration of volume in areas of the face and improves the appearance of wrinkles or furrows, contributing to a more balanced appearance.
However, the evolution of the results may be influenced by factors such as the patient's lifestyle and the natural aging process.
