Only a cosmetologist can tell a woman who wants to correct her appearance whether she should resort to lipofilling or not. Sometimes cosmetologists themselves recommend doing such a procedure. And this is not surprising, because only a specialist can adequately assess the client's condition. In addition, patients of plastic surgeons often turn to them to find out if the result is good and what procedures can be used to fix it. . We asked the beauticians the following questions
1. Do you recommend lipofilling to your patients and, if so, in what cases?
2. Do you usually like the result on the patient's face after lipofilling?
3. Have you ever seen that the appearance after lipofilling has become worse? What was it expressed in?
4. What procedures can accelerate healing after lipofilling, and which ones should be refrained from for a while?
5. Does the result that the patient receives after lipofilling correspond to the cost of this procedure?

1. I recommend using this method for all aging morphotypes, when the subcutaneous fat layer of the skin decreases with age and deep wrinkles appear.
2. If the surgeon professionally performed lipofilling, the result is visible already two weeks after the operation: the skin becomes smooth, elastic and radiant.
3. After lipofilling, edema persists for the first three days, hematomas may appear due to skin injury. Tuberosity and uneven skin relief may occur, since fat tends to dissolve and be excreted naturally, but this happens unevenly. Only 50-80% of the injected adipose tissue takes root. If necessary, the result is corrected after three months.
4. To speed up the recovery of the skin, ultrasound is prescribed to give uniformity to the relief of the skin tissue and a light lymphatic drainage massage from edema. I recommend swimming for skin elasticity, I advise you to refrain from overheating, sunbathing, physical exertion, pressure on lipofilling sites.
5. If the operation is performed correctly, the effect lasts from 7 to 10 years - a very worthy result for the amount spent on it.

1. When a woman is in the mood for a radical intervention in her appearance and discusses the possibility of plastic surgery to look younger, I advise her to try lipofilling first. It seems to me that this procedure gives exactly the rejuvenating effect that clients who require plastic surgery want.
2. Unfortunately, the results of lipofilling, which I see on the faces of my clients, often leave much to be desired. I would advise you to carefully choose a clinic for this operation and be interested in how experienced the surgeon is in lipofilling of precisely those areas that are of interest to the client.
3. Most often I meet clients with pouty lips, because surgeons sometimes play it safe and inject more fat cells than necessary. It is assumed that over time, excess fat will resolve. This happens, but not quickly.
4. After surgery, clients often think that they will be completely healed in a week. But a woman usually sees in the mirror the absence of bruises and swelling on her face and believes that the skin has completely recovered. However, upon closer examination, the beautician is much clearer that the skin is still very vulnerable, and in reality the recovery period is at least a month, and some require a longer period. I would not recommend sunbathing, taking a steam bath, or having a facial massage at this time.
5. Perhaps the cost of the operation is quite high, especially since many clients have to undergo it again. But if a woman believes that after lipofilling she has become a miracle as good, such costs are quite appropriate.

1. Many clients, on the one hand, would like to make adjustments to their appearance and look younger, more effective, but on the other hand, they are afraid of any manipulations associated with the introduction of fillers under the skin. Especially if these are long-term fillers. They explain their fear by the fact that, firstly, it is unpleasant to feel something foreign in oneself, and secondly, one might not like the result of the operation, and it will be very difficult to correct it. However, if the client already has a pronounced ptosis or asymmetry due to age, I recommend her face lipofilling.
2. I believe that my clients listen to the advice not to rush into choosing a clinic and a plastic surgeon who will perform lipofilling, and in the end they find exactly the professional that suits them personally. In any case, I see very good results of operations.
3. I have not had to observe any complications after lipofilling. Perhaps some clients are too addicted, in my opinion, to lip augmentation, and they do not always look natural, especially in the first couple of months after the operation. However, this cannot be called a disadvantage of the lipofilling operation - it is simply difficult to argue with the requirements of the client.
4. After lipofilling, I recommend procedures that will help speed up the healing of the skin. These are moisturizing masks, a very light lymphatic drainage massage of the face - to even out the relief of the skin, ultrasonic facial cleansing - after it the skin becomes softer, its moisture increases. Later, a couple of months after the operation, you can add microcurrent therapy and myostimulation - these procedures will help the transplanted adipose tissue to take root fully.
5. It happens that a client thinks the cost of lipofilling is too high and corrects her appearance with fillers - today in one salon through an acquaintance, soon - in another at a discount, a little later - in the third for a holiday promotion. But she does not think at the same time that the level of salons is different, as well as the qualifications of specialists, and the drug administered is also slightly different each time. As a result, a woman often complains that her appearance has become worse, and frequent trips to restore volumes have tired her, and as a result, the cost is quite a considerable amount.
I believe that professionally performed lipofilling gives a much better and much more long-term effect compared to other corrective fillers, and therefore worth the cost. I have clients who underwent facial lipofilling three years ago - believe me, they look great.
