One of the most recent and advanced procedure for correction of various deep lines is lipostructure. Your own fat is harvested from lower abdomen, knees, or gluteal area and then re-injected at various problem areas in face. There are various filler materials, which have been available for a long time. Some of them have problems with allergic reactions and others are unnatural which could produce secondary deformities.

Before surgery, you are advised to avoid aspirin, smoking, and other medications, which enhance bleeding.

Surgery is undertaken in an outpatient clinic under local or sedative anesthesia. Your own fat is harvested from other areas of the body and then refined to be injected with small incisions in various areas of the face.


After surgery, pain is controlled with oral medication. Bruising and swelling lasts 2-3 weeks or less. It may be necessary to undertake another procedure to add more fat. Since it is your own body fat, when taken, lasts forever. Temporary numbness is experienced at the donor and recipient sites.

Lipostructure is frequently undertaken in association with a facelift or other procedures. It is possible to restore some lost volume in face/cheek areas by injecting your own fat. Lipostructure avoids implantation of foreign substances or regular injections of collagen and other fillers. You look younger in a safer, more natural way.
