Body and face lipofilling in Paris

Lipofilling or lipostructure is a technique for using one's own fat to reinject it into another area, in order to reshape the body or rejuvenate the face, while adding volume. It's also known as fat autografting, and there's no risk of rejection or side-effects for this body-contouring procedure, since it involves the patient's own cells.

This procedure plumps up areas where fat is lacking, while at the same time having a trophic effect on tissues, thanks to the richness of adipose tissue stem cells.

In addition to its natural character, with no prostheses or foreign bodies, lipofilling is always combined with liposuction to recover the fat to be grafted, providing a 2-in-1 body-shaping effect.

Dr Christelle Santini performs lipofilling in Paris, most often to increase the volume of the buttocks, breasts, calves, to rejuvenate the hands or to plump up certain areas of the face such as the lips.

Lipostructure is also frequently used in intimate surgery.

You need to be aware that around ¼ of the fat cells will not take during this graft, and will resorb: this is a natural process, which Dr Santini takes into account in his procedures.

The more moderate the volumes injected, the more effective the result.

What is breast lipofilling?

Breast augmentation is the wish of many women. As hyaluronic acid injections into the breasts are prohibited in France, the only solution is breast surgery for breast augmentation. However, not all patients want to turn to breast implants. Lipofilling is a more natural way of increasing breast volume by removing fat cells from an area of the patient's body and reinjecting them into her breasts. This high-performance, long-lasting technique is recommended for moderate breast augmentation (to gain a cup size), and at the same time improves skin tone by creating a gentle lifting effect.

The surgical procedure is quite lengthy, since it involves firstly removing the fat and then reinjecting it. On the other hand, it enables a more complete reshaping of the silhouette, for greater femininity and sensuality.

Breast lipofilling lasts an average of 2 hours and is performed under general anesthesia.

How to reshape the face with lipofilling?

The facial lipofilling involves the reinjection of autologous fat to fill in hollow wrinkles, restore volume to the features or modify the shape of the nose or chin.

Facial lipostructure can therefore be used both to rejuvenate the oval of the face (volumetry) and to beautify the tissues.

The aim of facial lipostructure is therefore to perform fat cell autografting by reinjecting fat taken from the patient's own body. The face offers the advantage of requiring very little fat. As a result, most patients, including the thinnest, are eligible for the procedure.

Lip augmentation (fat injection)

Lipofilling is a technique that involves injecting the patient's own fat into the lips beforehand.

Lipostructure gives lips greater projection with a very natural look. The effect is permanent.

Lipofilling surgery for dark circles

Anatomically, dark circles correspond to the hollows under the lower eyelid opposite the orbital rim. They can extend inwards towards the root of the nose, and outwards towards the cheekbone.

They vary from person to person. They create a tired appearance, and are in fact the first sign of aging.

Filling hollow circles with lipofilling restores a slight volumizing effect, while enhancing the radiance of the eyes.

Lipofilling cheekbone surgery

Cheekbones may lack relief, either naturally, or over the years through loss of volume due to melting of subcutaneous fat. Cheekbone relief should be neither too high nor too low, but centered on the relief of the malar bone. A full, rounded cheekbone conveys an image of youth and vitality. Conversely, a flat cheekbone creates a tired appearance.

Aesthetic cheekbone surgery naturally enhances the cheekbones, creating a natural-looking volume that restores the face's volumetry.

Face lift with associated lipofilling

Lipolifting is a technique that combines several surgical procedures:

  • a cervico-facial lift, to tighten the oval of the face, firm the underlying muscles, and remove excess skin;
  • liposuction of localized fatty deposits that weigh down the face: double chin, neck, cheeks, as needed;
  • and lipofilling (reinjection of the patient's own fat), to reshape cheekbones, correct hollow circles, reshape eyebrows or temples, lift chins or plump lips.

The combination of these different procedures harmonizes the oval of the face with the central part sublimated, while lightening localized fatty deposits and reshaping lost volumes for natural rejuvenation.

How does lipofilling reshape the figure?

Lipofilling can be used to reshape the body in a variety of volumes, providing a balanced body-contouring or body-shaping effect for both men and women. Lipostructure offers the dual advantage of adding volume to the treated area, while removing excess fat from the liposuction area.

It's a 2-in-1 effect for more harmonious, slimmer lines to enhance the silhouette, as an alternative to prostheses or implants.

Buttock lipofilling

Buttock lipofilling provides a natural, permanent augmentation of the buttock's relief using the patient's own fat, without the use of prostheses. This contribution of autologous fat results in a more contoured buttock, with a lifting and trophic effect on the tissues, hence the terminology sometimes used of Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). This technique was first developed in Brazil, where its success on the beaches of Copacabana eventually spread around the world...

Calf lipofilling

Calf lipofilling can be used to increase the curvature of calves considered too thin, often referred to as "rooster calves". Legs that are too thin can detract from the beauty of a silhouette, breaking its harmony and balance. Leg lipostructure will simulate the contour created by the internal and/or external twin muscles, by injecting fat taken from elsewhere on the patient. Calf lipofilling is the technical tool of choice when there is sufficient fat to be recovered from the patient to fill the calves, as an alternative to calf implants...

What is intimate lipofilling surgery?

Lipostructure of the private parts allows you to enhance your beauty and sensuality with simple, minimally invasive surgery.

Dr Christelle Santini offers it to both men and women, to reshape the labia majora or increase penis width.

Unlike hyaluronic acid injectionsinjections, fat is non-absorbable and ensures long-term results.

Penoplasty

Penoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to lengthen and/or widen the penis. The procedure is indicated when the patient feels that the size of his penis is too small, and that this idea has become a real physical and psychological complex.

Lipofilling for volume augmentation of the labia majora

Lipofilling volume enhancement of the labia majora is designed to permanently plump and amplify the volume of the vulva. The principle of this procedure is to remove fat and reinject it into the labia.
