Surgery with autologous fat in the face

Autologous fat treatment is often combined with liposuction on the body; however, liposuction is also often performed to obtain autologous fat for a facial treatment. The results of autologous fat in the face are always natural and overcorrection is not possible. Filling in the face usually also makes the skin appear much more vital, healthier and fresher. The knee or the inside of the thigh is usually sufficient as a donor site for the face. The fat is harvested under local anesthesia, lightly processed and immediately injected into the subcutaneous fatty tissue of the face. Depending on the extent of the volume loss, several treatments may be necessary; depending on the remaining volume in the face, between 50-90% will grow in per session. There is always an improvement.

In the case of dark circles under the eyes, a single treatment is usually sufficient and the effect lasts a lifetime. This is due to the very slow metabolism in the eye groove. Another advantage of autologous fat for dark circles under the eyes is the lightening effect of the yellow fat. Fillers such as hyaluronic acid often lead to long-term swelling and dark discoloration in this area.

Finer areas such as upper lip wrinkles or lips can only be filled with nanofat. For this purpose, the fat is specially processed and refined at a flat rate of CHF 2800.00 including removal.

The latest developments from Arthrex make it possible to enrich the autologous fat with special repair cells (similar to stem cells) using autologous blood therapy (vampire lifting), which leads to significantly better and longer-lasting results. The additional cost for this treatment is CHF 1500.00.
