Lipofilling, or fat grafting, is an established technique that has seen a resurgence over the past decade, particularly in breast reconstruction<\/strong> and facial rejuvenation<\/strong>. It provides a natural alternative to breast implants, using the patient\u2019s own fat to restore volume and shape. This procedure is especially suitable for women seeking a more organic, harmonious reconstruction after breast cancer surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The process begins with liposuction<\/strong>, where fatty tissue is gently harvested from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. The fat is then purified<\/strong> to remove blood, excess fluid, and damaged fatty tissue using one of two methods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once purified, the fat is re-injected<\/strong> into the recipient area using ultra-fine cannulas. This constitutes a true adipocyte graft<\/strong>, with a portion of the transferred fat becoming permanently integrated as living tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note<\/strong>: Around 20\u201330%<\/strong> of the injected fat is naturally reabsorbed in the first two months. However, once integrated, the remaining fat is stable and long-lasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Breast fat injection can be used in the following cases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use compression stockings<\/strong> for 1 week following the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n\r\n Complications are rare, but can include:<\/p>\n Yes. Once the grafted fat has integrated (typically by 1 month), it remains stable long-term, unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which are absorbed over several months.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/details>\r\n Yes. A digital mammogram and MRI are typically recommended 3 months after the procedure. These serve as a baseline for future breast cancer screenings.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/details>\r\n On average, 2 to 3 sessions are needed to achieve optimal volume and shape.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/details>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/section>\n\n\n If you have any questions or would like to schedule a consultation, please don\u2019t hesitate to contact our team<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Overview and Advantages Lipofilling, or fat grafting, is an established technique that has seen a resurgence over the past decade, particularly in breast reconstruction and facial rejuvenation.
