What is facial lipomodelling?

Lipomodelling involves taking a small amount of fat from an area of the body (abdomen, thighs or flanks), purifying it and reinjecting it into areas of the face that have lost volume. This technique is entirely natural, as it uses your own cells, eliminating any risk of allergy or rejection.

Benefits of facial lipomodelling :

  • Natural results: A rehydrated face and subtly restored volumes.
  • Long-lasting correction: The reinjected fat that survives is permanent.
  • Skin improvement: Regenerative effect thanks to the presence of stem cells in the fat.

Safe procedure: No synthetic or foreign products.

Indications for facial lipomodelling

Lipomodelage is ideal for treating :

  • hollow cheekbones: restore volume for a harmonious face.
  • Dark circles: Reduce hollows and shadows under the eyes.
  • Facial contour: redefine the oval and fill in sagging areas.
  • Hollow temples: Restore natural fullness.
  • Deep wrinkles: such as nasolabial folds and bitterness lines.

This procedure is suitable for both young patients wishing to correct an imbalance and older patients seeking overall rejuvenation.
