Liposculpture

 

Liposculpture is a cosmetic procedure used to chage the chape, contour, or balance of the face by injecting fat or other fillers under the skin. One type of filler, autologous fat, is harvested from the patient’s own body. It offers a unique advantage and has helped to usher in a whole new age of liposculpture. New advances in harvesting, storing, and injection have made autologous fat a very desirable option in facial restoration and anti-aging, and is especially useful for facial contouring and enhancement.

Fat is typically harvested from the hip, stomach, and other areas where it is not needed and reinjected into the cheeks, jaw line, lips, brows, eye lids, and to smooth out deep lines such as those around the mouth and the deep creases of the nasolabial folds (smile lines).

The procedure may need to be repeated in order to build up volume and to compensate for fat that is absorbed by the body. Liposculpture is very useful for correcting aging of the face and loss of volume in the cheeks, brows, tear trough, nasolabial folds, lips, acne pits, scars, and underneath the jaw line. Injected fat is long-lasting, though touchups are often required.
