For natural facial volume and refined skin texture

Over time, the face loses volume, contours become less defined, and fine lines become more noticeable. Autologous fat grafting (fat transfer) uses your own fatty tissue to restore lost volume naturally while improving skin quality. At LVATE, we harvest fat in a gentle, cell-preserving way, using gentle suction and atraumatic cannulas. The fat is then carefully processed—filtered and separated into microfat and nanofat—to preserve as many cell-rich components as possible. Microfat is ideal for structured volumisation in areas such as the cheeks, temples, jawline, and tear trough.* Nanofat is used in the superficial layers to enhance skin quality subtly. The result is natural-looking, with soft transitions and skin that feels revitalised.

*The tear trough is a particularly delicate area, and so is treated using very fine, blunt cannulas and only minimal amounts of fat.

Procedure: Autologous Fat Grafting (Patient Fat Treatment) in the Face

CHIRURGISCHE ERSTBERATUNG

During the appointment, we will discuss your expectations and needs, assess facial proportions, skin quality, and expressions, and select suitable donor areas (e.g., lower abdomen, flanks, thighs). We will plan the areas, volume per area, and placement level, as well as the fraction (microfat/nanofat). With autologous fat grafting, we utilize the regenerative properties of your own fat tissue. You will receive a transparent treatment and aftercare plan, including preparation, so you feel fully informed and well cared for.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROCEDURE

The fat is harvested using state-of-the-art methods and, after anesthetizing the donor area, via liposuction. The fat is then transplanted into the face, employing various processing techniques. Depending on the desired result and the facial area being treated, different fat consistencies are used, such as microfat (microfat grafting) or nanofat. The procedure concludes with a dressing applied to the donor site and cooling the face.

AFTER THE SURGERY

You can leave the clinic the same day. For the first 48 hours, it helps to apply cold compresses and keep your head elevated. If recommended, you should wear light compression garments to the donor sites for 1–2 weeks. Swelling and bruising on the face usually subside significantly after 5–10 days, allowing you to quickly resume your normal social activities.
