What is Facial Lipofilling?
Facial lipofilling, also called autologous fat transfer, is a refined aesthetic surgery technique that restores balance, fullness, and harmony to the face using your own fat. With age, or sometimes due to genetic predisposition, the face may lose volume: cheekbones flatten, under-eye hollows appear, temples become sunken, and the lower face looks tired or sagging. These changes can create an older, less vibrant appearance.
By carefully harvesting fat from another part of the body and reinjecting it into areas of deficit, lipofilling replenishes facial contours with living tissue that integrates seamlessly. The result is a natural, youthful, and enduring rejuvenation—without foreign substances and without risk of rejection. Unlike temporary fillers that require frequent maintenance, lipofilling offers a permanent solution that evolves gracefully with your own tissues.
Who is it For?
Facial lipofilling is intended for women and men who notice a loss of youthful volume or imbalance in their features. It is particularly suited for those who:
- Want to restore fullness to hollow cheeks or temples
- Seek to correct under-eye dark circles and tired hollows
- Wish to refine and lift the cheekbones for better definition
- Desire softening of deep nasolabial folds or marionette lines
- Would like to harmonize the chin and jawline for improved facial balance
- Prefer a natural, long-lasting alternative to synthetic fillers
Candidates should have good skin quality with adequate tone and elasticity to support the grafted fat cells.
Type of Anesthesia and Procedure Duration
Facial lipofilling is performed under local anesthesia with light sedation to ensure comfort. The average duration is 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of zones treated.
How the Procedure Works
Facial lipofilling is performed with precision and care, in several steps:
- Fat Harvesting: Fat is gently collected from a donor site (such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips) using a fine cannula designed to preserve cell integrity.
- Purification: The fat is purified and centrifuged to isolate only the healthiest, most viable cells.
- Reinjection: The refined fat is delicately reinjected into targeted facial areas—cheekbones, dark circles, temples, folds, chin, or jawline—using microcannulas to sculpt natural contours.
- Integration: Once reinjected, the fat cells integrate with surrounding tissues, providing both immediate correction and long-term structural improvement.
The procedure not only restores volume but also stimulates collagen production, improving skin tone and elasticity over time.
Hospitalization
No hospitalization is required. Lipofilling is performed on an outpatient basis at Guess Clinic, allowing you to return home the same day.
Aftercare and Recommendations
To ensure smooth healing and optimal results:
- Sleep with your head elevated for the first few nights to reduce swelling
- Avoid direct sun and heat exposure (sauna, hammam, hot yoga) for one week
- Use soothing skincare as advised by your physician
- Refrain from strenuous exercise until bruising and swelling subside
Results
The face appears fresher and more youthful almost immediately, with final results becoming clear as swelling resolves. Hollow areas are filled, contours are lifted, and the overall balance of the face is restored. Because the transferred fat cells become a permanent part of your tissue, results are long-lasting and age naturally with you. Over time, patients enjoy a face that looks authentically rejuvenated—not overdone, just quietly restored.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is facial lipofilling painful?
No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and most patients describe only mild swelling or tenderness afterward.
Will there be scars?
No visible scars. The technique uses microcannulas, and the tiny entry points heal discreetly.
How long do the results last?
Results are permanent, as the fat cells integrate with your tissues. Natural aging continues, but the restored volume remains stable.
How soon will I see results?
The improvement is visible right away, but the final appearance is best appreciated after swelling subsides—generally within two to three weeks.
Can it replace dermal fillers?
Yes. Lipofilling provides a long-term alternative, eliminating the need for frequent filler sessions.
What if I want to treat multiple areas at once?
This is often the case. Cheekbones, dark circles, temples, nasolabial folds, and the chin can all be treated during a single session for complete harmony.
Is it safe?
Yes. Because it uses your own fat, there is no risk of allergy or rejection. The technique has been refined to ensure safety, precision, and natural results.
