What is facial lipofilling?
Facial lipofilling is a cosmetic surgical technique that consists of harvesting fat (liposuction) from an area of the body where it is in excess (abdomen, thighs, hips) and reinjecting it into the face. This fat grafting restores volume to the cheeks and temples, fills wrinkles (nasolabial folds, marionette lines), redefines the facial oval and corrects hollows for natural and harmonious rejuvenation.
Facial areas treated
Facial lipofilling can treat many areas for overall rejuvenation. The cheeks are treated to restore volume and contour. The temples are filled to correct temporal hollows. Nasolabial folds, or smile lines, are smoothed. Marionette lines are corrected at the corners of the lips. Cheekbones are lifted for a younger look. The chin and jawline redefine the facial oval. Eyelids are treated to correct hollows.
Advantages of facial lipofilling
Facial lipofilling offers many aesthetic advantages. It uses the patient's own fat, making it 100% natural. It has no risk of rejection or allergy. It offers natural and lasting results. It sculpts the face harmoniously. It improves skin quality thanks to the regenerative properties of fat. It is minimally invasive and performed on an outpatient basis. Recovery is quick with mild side effects. It allows treating multiple areas in a single procedure.
Harvest areas
Fat for facial lipofilling is harvested from several areas. The abdomen is the most common area. The thighs, both inner and outer, are also used. The hips and flanks are harvest areas. The knees can provide small amounts of fat. The choice depends on the amount of fat available. The patient's aesthetic preferences are also considered.
The procedure
Facial lipofilling takes place in several stages. A preoperative consultation defines the goals and harvest areas. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. It lasts about 1 to 2 hours. The surgeon harvests fat by gentle liposuction in the defined areas. The fat is purified by centrifugation to keep only viable cells. It is reinjected into the targeted areas with very fine needles. Incisions are closed and a dressing is applied.
Recovery after facial lipofilling
Recovery after facial lipofilling is quick. Swelling and bruising are normal during the first days. It is recommended to apply cold compresses to reduce swelling. A compressive dressing may be recommended by the surgeon. Return to daily activities is possible the next day. Intense physical activities are not recommended for 2 weeks. Final results are visible after 3 to 6 months.
Lipofilling vs hyaluronic acid injections
Lipofilling and hyaluronic acid are two techniques for facial rejuvenation. Lipofilling uses the patient's own fat. It offers natural and lasting results of several years. It is ideal for global volumetric corrections. Hyaluronic acid is a temporary filler. It lasts 6 to 18 months. It is more suitable for localized and precise corrections. The choice depends on the patient's goals and the surgeon's recommendations.
Risks and complications
Facial lipofilling carries risks, although rare. Bruising and edema are common. Infection may occur. Asymmetry is possible. Fat necrosis is rare. Partial fat reabsorption is common. Cysts are rare. Anesthetic complications are also possible. All these risks are discussed during the preoperative consultation. Compliance with post-operative instructions minimizes these risks.

Frequently Asked Questions about Facial Lipofilling
1Can facial lipofilling be combined with a facelift?
Yes, facial lipofilling is very often combined with a facelift. This association treats both skin laxity and volume loss. Lipofilling brings volume where it is missing (cheeks, temples, folds) while the facelift lifts and tightens the skin. This combined approach provides overall and harmonious facial rejuvenation.
2How long does a facial lipofilling session take?
A facial lipofilling session generally lasts between 1 hour and 2 hours. The duration varies depending on the number of areas to treat and the amount of fat to harvest and inject. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia, allowing the patient to go home the same day.
3When can I see the final results of facial lipofilling?
Facial lipofilling results are visible immediately, but the final results are only obtained after 3 to 6 months. During this period, about 20 to 30% of the injected fat is naturally reabsorbed. The fat that survives is considered permanent and provides lasting results.
4What is the difference between lipofilling and hyaluronic acid injections for the face?
Lipofilling uses the patient's own fat, offering natural and lasting results, with a duration of several years. Hyaluronic acid is a temporary filler that lasts 6 to 18 months. Lipofilling is ideal for global volumetric corrections, while hyaluronic acid is more suitable for localized and precise corrections.
5Does facial lipofilling leave visible scars?
Facial lipofilling leaves very discreet scars. The harvest incisions (liposuction) are very small (3 to 5 mm) and placed in barely visible areas. The injection points on the face are made with very fine needles and leave no visible scars. Marks fade quickly.
6Can facial lipofilling treat acne scars?
Yes, facial lipofilling is an effective technique for treating atrophic (pitted) acne scars. Fat injection into scars fills hollows and smoothes the skin. Several sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal results. This technique is particularly indicated for severe scars.
7Is facial lipofilling a painful procedure?
Facial lipofilling is performed under local anesthesia, making the procedure painless. After the procedure, mild pain, swelling and bruising may occur but are generally well tolerated. Pain disappears in a few days and can be controlled with simple painkillers.
