What is lipofilling?

Lipofilling is a cosmetic surgery technique practised by Dr. Hayot and proven worldwide. The technique involves removing fat from defined areas of the body, such as the abdomen, knees or inner thighs, and reinjecting it into areas of the face that lack volume naturally or as a result of natural skin aging.

To guarantee a harmonious result, lipofilling requires special expertise and meticulous preparation of the face, which only an expert physician can provide.

Why have facial lipofilling?

A symmetrical face is a particularly sought-after beauty feature. Over time, however, the shape of the face can flatten, making it appear less youthful.

Facial lipofilling by cosmetic surgeon Dr Hayot works from several angles:

• Restores facial volumes through micro-lipostructure
• It treats wrinkles by injecting fat as a filler.
• Regenerates skin quality
• It treats black circles under the eyes, in addition to other dark circles.
• Fades the appearance of acne scars
• It helps hair regrowth through nano-lipostructure, which consists of isolating stem cells or growth factors by filtering fat.

Lipofilling to restore facial harmony

Lipofilling is a particularly effective method for restoring facial harmony by improving the appearance of certain imperfections:

Lipofilling to fill in hollow circles

Dr Hayot prefers lipofilling to hyaluronic acid injections for several reasons:

• Hyaluronic acid does not absorb under dark circles
• Over time, hyaluronic acid swells, leading to the appearance of bags under the eyes.
• Unlike lipofilling, hyaluronic acid is visible as a bluish color, through the thin skin of the dark circle.

Lipofilling and blepharoplasty

To correct a lack of volume in the eyelids, Dr. Hayot performs lipofilling in the operating room during addition blepharoplasty. By correcting the hollow appearance of the eyes, the facial features are softened and the complexion is instantly more rested.

Lipofilling and facelift

An expert in lipofilling, Dr Hayot performs this technique in conjunction with a cervico-facial lift to correct the hollow, wrinkled appearance of the neck, a consequence of skin aging. By regenerating the skin of the neck and giving it more volume, you obtain a natural, harmonious effect.

It should be noted that if the procedure requires only a small amount of fat, it is performed under local anaesthetic, as it is a simple and painless procedure.

Why does Dr Hayot prefer lipofilling?

There are many reasons to opt for facial lipofilling:

1. Unlike hyaluronic acid, which is resorbed over time (except in the eye circles), lipofilling offers permanent results.
2. Injected fat is a natural product, derived from our own cells. Lipofilling therefore delivers natural results, with no risk of rejection by the body.
3. The fat injected during lipofilling is fully incorporated into the tissues, both subcutaneously and in the muscle. There is therefore no risk of product displacement.
4. The result is natural and harmonious, unlike hyaluronic acid injections which, when injected into the cheekbones, leave a sort of unsightly ball that betrays the injection.
5. Lipofilling fills hollow areas without swelling them. In fact, hyaluronic acid acts like a sponge, capturing water from the body and causing the face to swell in an unattractive way.
6. By injecting stem cells and growth factors through lipofilling, a skin regeneration process takes place, which improves skin quality and fades the appearance of certain blemishes such as pigmentation spots.
