How is lipofilling performed?
Fat is usually harvested from the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, similar to classic liposuction. To damage the cells as little as possible, fat cells are harvested atraumatically through a special system.
The fat is then washed in a closed system and reinjected through very small openings. A slight overcorrection is usually performed because about 30% of the injected fat is reabsorbed.
Macrofat lipofilling for breast corrections, buttock corrections, and body contouring procedures. Microfat lipofilling for facial corrections and eyelid corrections. Nanofat for skin improvement and scars.
