Overview
Over 15 years of fat tissue research on cellular level established the technique of autologous fat grafting. Lipomodeling allows to change the shape and volume of the recipient tissue with the aim to reconstruct, rejuvenate and regenerate body features. The stem cells derived from fat tissue are responsible for the regenerating effect. The success of the procedure is based on proper technique of fat harvesting, fat processing and fat reinjection.
In the field of the aesthetic surgery lipomodeling represents a gold tool particularly for face rejuvenation and breast enlargement. The rate of complications is very low and fat resorption varies between 10 to 40% according to the recipient site. Very rare complication is intraarterial application of the fatgraft, which can lead to fatal results. A surgeon performing lipomodeling should be very experienced and trained in this technique.
