The micro lipofilling is a cosmetic surgery procedure that consists of removing fat from an area of the body in order to reinject it into the face (fat autograft or autologous graft).
It is indicated, both for men and women, to fill in hollow areas of the face (hollow cheeks), erase deep wrinkles or create volumes such as cheekbones...
Initially, the surgeon removes fat by liposuction at the level of the inner faces of the knees (or stomach, or inner thighs...).
Subsequently, the fat collected will undergo various purification processes (centrifugation, washing, trapping bag, etc.) in order to obtain adipose microparticles.
Once the fat has been purified, the surgeon reinjects it extremely precisely into the areas of the face to be filled, using special equipment from microโgraft adipocyte.

Generally local. Sometimes, general anesthesia is performed in order to perform additional surgical procedures at the same time as the operation.
1 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Execution on an outpatient basis.
The injection and sampling points are less than one millimeter in size, so the scars are almost invisible.
Very few pains are experienced by the patient (prescription of minor painkillers). Edemas and bruises may persist for up to 15 days. There is no risk of the transplant being rejected, as it is an autograft.
The recovery period is very short and the patient can return to normal life within a few days.
Lipofilling is a practice that is increasingly used at the moment. It is an operation that consists in injecting fat into the face.

This procedure is often performed under pure local anesthesia. It is no more painful than a hyaluronic acid injection. This procedure can be performed under general anesthesia when combined with a neck and neck lift in particular.
Depending on the extent of the area to be treated, fat transfer can take between one and two hours.
Facial microlipofilling can be performed on an outpatient basis. In other words, the patient is admitted to the hospital and discharged on the same day.
Microlipofilling is used to improve volumes, fill in too deep wrinkles, and round facial contours.
It is a very effective method of combating aging because fat has both a volumizing and regenerative effect on the skin. However, some of the injected fat is reabsorbed by the body and the results do not generally last longer than 18 to 24 months.
The pain is usually very mild and can be relieved with standard treatments.
As with all interventions, there are risks and complications can occur (bleeding, infection, disunity, scarring hazards, neurological disorders, etc.). These are infrequent and can be taken care of quickly by the surgeon during post-operative checks. An information sheet from the French Society of Plastic Surgery will be given to you before the procedure.
My approach is initially to listen to patients in order to determine if their expectations are realistic and achievable and if the risk-benefit ratio is in favor of an intervention.
