Lipofilling (Fat Transfer)

Facial volume loss is a fundamental driver of facial ageing that filler injections address temporarily but lipofilling addresses durably. As the face loses fat compartment volume with age, it deflates — contours flatten, tear troughs deepen, cheek prominences reduce, and nasolabial folds deepen as the tissues above them descend. Lipofilling restores this lost structural volume using the patient's own adipose tissue, which integrates permanently into the…

At V CLINIC Brno, the procedure begins with the harvest: small volumes of fat are aspirated via fine cannulas from donor areas — typically the abdomen, thighs, or flanks — under local anaesthesia. The harvested fat is then processed and purified through centrifugation to concentrate viable adipocytes and remove oil, blood, and cellular debris. The refined fat is injected in micro-aliquots through small-gauge needles or cannulas into the target facial…

The entire procedure takes approximately 60 minutes as an outpatient treatment under local anaesthesia. Post-operatively, patients can return to office work from day two, though swelling — both at the injection sites and the donor areas — is normal and expected for two weeks. The follow-up at one month evaluates fat take-up rate, as some transferred fat is reabsorbed in the first weeks. A second session may be recommended if significant volume correction…
