How is this procedure performed?

He Lipograft It is the transfer of fat from the same patient, it is extracted from his body and taken to another site. It is injected where you want to have more volume. Generally, fat is extracted from the abdomen (this is the preferred site for patients to have it extracted, as this is where they usually have undesirable fat) and it is injected into the buttocks, breasts or face to make these places have more volume, or it can be done to fill or recover the volume that for some reason has been lost as tends to happen in the lips.

This is a process that has been done for many years, but due to the technique that was used, the achievement that is obtained today was not obtained. Does not cause any rejectionsince it is from the same person, but even so it must be taken into account that a percentage of what is injected is always reabsorbed, and you must also know the technique and its application to avoid unwanted results.

The Specialist cannot perform this technique with a laser or vaser, since these resources destroy the adipocyte, which is the element that is intended to be carried to the breasts or buttocks. It must be kept as alive as possible and therefore must be handled with the greatest care.

Advantages

One of the most important advantages This technique is that fat is removed from a place where it is not desired and injected into a place where it is desired.

In the case of Breast lipograft A moderate increase is achieved and it is not necessary to change implants, as if it must be done with augmentation mammoplasty, which must be changed every 10 or 15 years, in addition to the fact that the patient does not have a foreign body in her body, since this can present difficulties that are not yet well known.

It is important to know that once the fat that is injected into the breasts or buttocks is fixed, It behaves as if it had been there for a long time and if you lose weight, this fat also decreases in volume in the place where it has been grafted.

Can the procedure be done more than once?

In the case of breasts, Specialists point out that The volume achieved in a single procedure is not as large as in the case of breast implants. However, yes, the same result can be achieved by injecting multiple times, as long as the patient has fat on her body to transfer to the breasts.

In which cases is the patient not suitable?

A unsuitable candidate for fat transfer, is a patient who is very thin, and therefore, does not have enough fat to transfer. Patients whose breasts have very tense or poorly distended skin are also not suitable, as this skin does not allow fat grafting.

On the other hand, the suitable patients for lipografts They are those who have breastfed, therefore, the skin of the breast is distensible and accommodates the fat that is injected or also when they have had considerable weight loss. These women are between 23 and 38 years old.

After surgery

It is important to use antiembolic stockings, during and after surgery, moderate anticoagulants, respiratory incentives and do not put pressure on the lipografted sites, since the transferred fat can migrate to another unsuitable site: when done Buttock Lipograft The patient should sleep on her side, not on her back.

This procedure has a good future and present, because by extracting the fat, the excess is eliminated and the patient loses weight, since said fat is moved to places where she wants to have it. Therefore, it achieve a more contoured body. Furthermore, the scars are very small, Because very fine cannulas are used.
