Lipofilling

Lipofilling (Fat Transfer / Fat Grafting), is a cosmetic procedure that uses your own body fat to restore volume, enhance contours, and rejuvenate specific areas of the face or body. This natural technique allows surgeons to harvest fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks and re-inject it into areas needing enhancement—like the cheeks, lips, under-eye hollows, breasts, or buttocks. At Silur Clinic in Tirana, Albania, our surgeons use advanced fat purification and injection techniques to deliver natural, long-lasting results that harmonize with your body.

Techniques

At Silur Clinic, lipofilling is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the treated areas. The procedure usually lasts 1 to 3 hours. First, fat is carefully harvested using gentle liposuction. The fat is then purified and prepared before being re-injected into the desired areas with fine cannulas. This method enhances volume, improves contour, and stimulates tissue regeneration, thanks to the stem cells naturally present in fat. The results are natural and biocompatible, as the procedure uses your own tissue.

What Do You Need to Know Before Lipofilling?

Lipofilling is suitable for patients in good overall health who wish to enhance facial or body volume without synthetic fillers or implants. It is ideal for restoring volume lost with aging, correcting asymmetries, or enhancing natural curves. During your consultation at Silur Clinic, our surgeons will analyze your body structure, discuss your aesthetic goals, and design a personalized plan. It’s important to have realistic expectations, as some fat may be reabsorbed by the body in the first months, and sometimes a second session may be recommended for optimal results.

Care After Lipofilling Surgery

Recovery after lipofilling is usually straightforward. Patients may experience mild swelling, bruising, or soreness in both the donor and recipient sites. Most patients return to work and light activities within a few days, while strenuous exercise should be avoided for 3–4 weeks. Compression garments may be recommended in the areas where fat was harvested. As swelling subsides, the transferred fat integrates with the natural tissues, providing smoother contours and long-lasting rejuvenation. At Silur Clinic, we provide detailed aftercare instructions and continuous follow-up to ensure safe healing and natural, balanced results.
