Lip lipofilling. Prices, reviews, ratings
General information
Lip lipofilling gives a better effect than lip augmentation with gel. Experts explain this by the property of fatty tissue to quickly take root in the lip area. Within a few days, the fat grows into the blood vessels and is fixed in them, providing elasticity to the lips. The duration of the operation is no more than an hour and is performed using local anesthesia or under general anesthesia.
In 80% of cases, the fatty tissue takes root almost immediately. Therefore, there is no need for repeated lipofilling. However, in some patients, the fat is absorbed, which disrupts the contour of the lips or leads to other defects. In this case, a repeat procedure is mandatory.
In plastic surgery, the procedure is considered one of the safest. It has become especially popular among older people.
It can be used by both women and men.
This procedure can be combined with such procedures as:
- lifting;
- tightening;
- liposuction.
Procedure
Preparation
Before the operation, the doctor examines the patient's face. In some cases (depending on the patient's medical history), a blood clotting test is prescribed. A few days before the procedure, you should not use facial peeling or cosmetics.
Procedure
Lip lipofilling includes several stages:
- collection of fat cells from the hips, abdomen or sides;
- cleaning of the removed fat;
- injection of fat into a pre-marked area of the lips.
After collecting the fat, the wound is treated and covered with a band-aid. The fat is pumped out and injected using a thin needle. Cleansing of fat cells is carried out using special substances.
Rehabilitation period
The rehabilitation process lasts about two weeks, depending on the amount of fat injected. The procedure does not cause severe injuries, so it does not require strict rehabilitation rules. In general, the patient should:
- apply compresses or ice to the lip area;
- avoid making sudden facial movements;
- avoid visiting a bathhouse, sauna, or solarium.
In some cases, the patient experiences itching and slight inflammation. Such discomfort can only be eliminated with the permission of a doctor.
Indications and contraindications
The technique is suitable for those who want to eliminate on the lips:
- acquired or congenital defects;
- curvature of the contour;
- small volume and fullness;
- asymmetry of the upper or lower lip.
This procedure is also considered popular among patients with thin lips. In this case, the lips acquire natural fullness, and the face becomes proportional.
Contraindications

- herpes, inflammation in the lip area;
