Lipofiling equity

The skin in the facial area is different; it is especially thin and delicate around the eyes. Therefore, age-related changes primarily affect this area. Wrinkles appear, the corners of the eyes droop, tissue volume goes down, which adds age to the face. Therefore, many people resort to lipofilling procedure for the upper or lower eyelids in order to preserve their beauty and youthfulness.

The method has gained enormous popularity due to the fact that for rejuvenation and correction of the area around the eyes not foreign substances in fillers are used, not surgical eyelid correction, but the body's own subcutaneous fat taken from other parts of the body. Not only lipofilling of the area around the eyes is performed, but also filling the lacrimal sulcus, manipulations in the periorbital area. Fat tissues for injection during the procedure are taken from areas where there is an excessive amount of fat, such as the knees, abdomen and hips. The material is processed in a special way and injected through tissue micro-punctures. In our clinic the operation is carried out by professional plastic surgeons with extensive experience, using modern equipment.

WHAT TASKS LIPOFILLING SOLVES

It is important to know that the procedure has its own tasks, which it effectively solves. For example, it is possible to correct age-related changes in the area around the eyes, and with lipofilling it is possible to get rid of circles and bruises under the eyes. Using your own fat, you can change the shape of your eyes, get the shape you want, correct flaws in both the upper and lower eyelids. The procedure is effective for those people who want to undergo a rejuvenation procedure, eliminating sagging skin and wrinkles that occur during facial expressions. Lipofilling is usually performed after the age of 30.

ADVANTAGES OF LIPOFILLING OF EYELIDS

Among the key advantages of surgery with transplantation of your own fat from problem areas to the area around the eyes are:

Low traumatism of the intervention, because rounded cannulas are used, which are inserted through microscopic punctures, which do not leave scars and scars from incisions. This shortens the rehabilitation period, and local anaesthesia causes a minimum of discomfort, allowing you to reduce the time of the operation. This procedure has a lower price than blepharoplasty, it is safer, and there is less risk of complications and tissue rejection in comparison with the use of fillers. Additionally, an anti-aging effect is realized, as stem cells from fatty tissue help improve the condition of subcutaneous tissues and skin.

HOW LIPOFILLING OF EYELIDS IS PERFORMED

The rules of preparation for the intervention are standard, not different from any type of plastic surgery. Before the start of the procedure, it is necessary to draw a marking on the area to be treated. The doctor also determines the place of fat tissue extraction. It is important that the marking is performed before anesthesia is applied, otherwise the muscle tone will be altered.

After anesthesia, the plastic surgeon begins with a procedure to take fat tissue and prepare it for subsequent lipofilling. If this is the use of thin cannulas, no incisions and subsequent sutures in the areas where the fat is obtained will be necessary. Obtained fat tissue is placed in a centrifuge, purifying it from blood admixture and saturating the tissue with beneficial compounds. Then the doctor injects the fat cells into the tissue according to the markings made in advance, strictly observing the volumes obtained. At the last stage, the area is treated with antiseptics and the area where the needle is inserted is sealed.

REHABILITATION AFTER LIPOFILLING

Lipofilling is a minimally invasive procedure, so the patient is allowed to go home the same day after the doctor's consultation. During the first days, pain and swelling may occur, which can be reduced by taking medications recommended by the doctor. There may be bruises under the eyes, which disappear within 10 days. During rehabilitation, a number of rules must be observed:

• It is important not to sleep with your face in the pillow and wash your face with hot water;
• Do not visit saunas, swimming pools, baths, take hot baths;
• You should avoid direct sunlight in the eye area;
• You must not wear makeup until it has completely healed;
• reduction of physical activity, temporary refusal of training is required.
