Lipoinjection or facial lipofilling
Lipoinjection or facial lipofilling uses cleansed and purified fat to fill areas of the face that lack volume.
The MAIN cause of facial aging has been shown to be the atrophy of the fatty and bone structures of the face. Therefore, one of the best treatments to combat the signs of aging will be those that provide us with fillers.
There are many types of fillers, you will know hyaluronic acid as a filler. The main problem is that it has been 100% reabsorbed after 12 months. When we use our own fat, once it has been integrated, it will never be removed. About 30% of what we put in is reabsorbed, but for that we already put in a little more than what we are looking for as a final result (we anticipate that percentage of reabsorption). Other very important advantages for us are:
1. It will never cause rejection because they are our body’s own fat cells (we will not react against what is already ours).
2. It contains a large amount of stem cells that are used to greatly improve the quality and elasticity of the skin where they are injected (this characteristic is also used in reconstructive surgery to improve the quality of the skin of patients with burns or the skin of patients who have received radiotherapy, such as in breast cancer or cervical cancer).

Is it possible to combine aesthetic medicine with facial surgery?
Great results can be achieved with small details such as those provided by aesthetic medicine. The key is to apply them in the right quantities and locations, and this can only be achieved if a correct initial diagnosis is made.
We will always carry out a comprehensive assessment of facial aesthetics, and you can choose from three paths:
With cosmetic surgery we can
Repositioning tissues that have fallen
Recover tissues that have atrophied over the years.
With aesthetic medicine we can
Correct small asymmetries with a high degree of detail that we cannot achieve with surgery.
Correct dynamic wrinkles with botulinum toxin.
Increase skin brightness with hydration and nutrition thanks to hyaluronic acid.

Frequently Asked Questions
If facial lipofilling or lipoinjection is performed, it can only be done with local anesthesia and sedation. Although we often use it in combination with other procedures that are performed with other types of anesthesia.

When we carry out a comprehensive facial assessment, we may encounter cases that require only aesthetic medicine, others surgery and others, in the majority of cases, where both techniques are combined.

No, facial surgery does not usually change the expression of the face as an “accident” or “side effect” of the surgery. We will only change the expression if that is the OBJECTIVE. For example: in faces that express a feeling of sadness or tiredness, usually due to an extreme drooping of the side of the eyebrows or the lateral corner of the eyes. In these cases, their structure and position can be anatomically modified.
Postoperative
It is usually permanent after 6-9 months, once the fat is no longer reabsorbed. It is very important to achieve natural results and adapt to the unique facial characteristics of each patient.
No. Because we do not treat any muscular or skin structures of the patient.
After 1 month of the intervention, the inflammation is usually minimal and the results are usually visible.
No. There is discomfort due to the initial inflammation, but with local cold and anti-inflammatories it remains a mild, punctual discomfort.
