Lipofilling

You are a suitable candidate if you have enough fat somewhere on your body to fill the desired area. You often have fat left over somewhere, for example on the hips or abdomen. Women often have more usable fat than men. It is best to always seek personal advice from a doctor at Wellness Kliniek first.

How much fat needs to be harvested for lipofilling depends on the volume needed to achieve the desired result. 1000 cc of harvested fat, yields about 500 cc of pure, intact fat cells. Keep in mind that only 70% of these purified fat cells take hold after transplantation. A volume increase of 350cc therefore requires 1000cc of liposuction fat. The doctor at Wellness Kliniek will calculate the lipofilling volume and inform you how much fat is needed and where it can best be harvested.

For lipofilling your breasts or buttocks, you will need around 200cc to 250cc of purified fat per breast or buttock, while for facial contouring you will end up with less than half. Lipofilling is bespoke. Before you tie the knot to undergo lipofilling, you will receive extensive advice at Wellness Kliniek and the doctor will calculate how much fat you need for breasts or buttocks. 1200 cc of liposuction fat usually yields 400 cc of permanent, permanent fat cells, which amounts to 200 cc per breast or buttock.

Depending on the area treated, it is best to take some rest. Recovery is different for each person and procedure. We will inform you in advance about the living rules and what to expect from lipofilling recovery in the chosen area. The doctor will inform you about the living rules after lipofilling. This way, you know what to expect and can promote speedy recovery.

Yes, lipofilling is permanent, but beware! You will only see the actual result after several weeks or months. Immediately after treatment, you will see a big increase in volume. However, it is important to realise that in the weeks following treatment, swelling and fat volume will decrease. Take this volume reduction into account. The swelling subsides and not all fat cells take effect. On average, about 70% of the purified fat cells remain. These remain in your body and are thus permanent or permanent.

Transplanted fat cells remain in place where they are ingrown for life.
Fat cells can get bigger or smaller. As you get fatter, these cells also get bigger. If you lose weight, they become smaller. The number of fat cells does not change, because only until puberty does the body produce new fat cells.

To maintain the results of lipofilling, it is best to keep your weight stable. This, in turn, is among the liposuction disadvantages; that you have to watch your weight. This can sometimes make opting for other techniques, such as implants or fillers, just a little more attractive. The advantages of lipofilling are also clear. It is a natural treatment using only the body's own substance. That makes the chances of rejection small. Moreover, you can immediately have fat removed in another place: win-win!
