The patient should be as aware as possible about the features of lipofilling

Appearance correction using the patient's own fat cells is gradually becoming a widespread operation, which is carried out by most cosmetic clinics. Many plastic surgeons have developed their own methods, tactics and approach to lipofolling. But at the same time, all experts note that the operation will be successful and will have a long-term result only with full mutual understanding and comprehensive interaction between the surgeon performing lipofilling and the patient.

As part of the discussion about lipofilling, which is being conducted by the Estet portal, we offer a new opinion about the operation and its implementation – in particular, the importance of a complete understanding of the features of lipofilling by the patient.

What are the most common questions from clients about lipofilling?

Patients, as a rule, are little aware of the possibilities of lipofilling and the features of this procedure. Therefore, we ourselves recommend lipofilling if there are no contraindications to the operation and if this procedure can help the client achieve the effect he aspires to.

When does the doctor recommend lipofilling?

In addition to financial possibilities and interest in keeping the effect of the corrective procedure as long as possible, the patient must have sufficient time to recover after the operation. Unfortunately, it happens that a woman decides to do lipofilling on the eve of an important event for her. But each body reacts to the procedure in its own way, and the healing process can be delayed. It is also important that the patient is not afraid of anesthesia and trusts his doctor.

What other procedures and operations can or even be combined with lipofilling?

• lipofilling gives a very good effect in combination with rhinoplasty, mammoplasty, facelift.

If a second lipofilling procedure is planned, how soon can it be done?

I recommend that you repeat the corrective procedure no earlier than six months later, so that the results are the best.

What is the duration of the rehabilitation period after lipofilling? Necessary conditions that the patient must comply with?

It happens that patients feel great within a couple of days after lipofilling and are ready to return to work, to an active life. But still, you should expect that the healing process will take a longer time – from 7 to 21 days. Each patient after the lipofilling operation receives individual recommendations on what can and cannot be done to ensure successful healing. The more carefully these recommendations are followed, the faster the patient will be able to see the desired result in the mirror.
