Lipofilling of lips

What is Lipofilling of the Lips?

The so-called Lipofilling or autologous fat transplantation is a modern procedure of aesthetic surgery, in which the body’s own fatty tissue "autologous fat" is removed, processed and subsequently used specifically for volume replenishment. More fullness, contour and symmetry can be achieved naturally on the lips – without the use of synthetic fillers. The procedure offers a particularly gentle and sustainable way to increase lip volume without altering the natural expression of the face or mouth.

Why do many women naturally want full lips?

Full lips have always been a symbol of youthfulness, sensuality and attractiveness. Many women and also men perceive narrow or age-related flattened lips as a sign of getting older. At the same time, most patients do not want a noticeable change, but a subtle, harmonious emphasis on the lip shape and no "tube boat lips". This is where lipofilling comes in: It allows a natural, permanent enlargement of the lip volume, which is individually adapted to the face.

Home fat instead of filler – the natural alternative for lip enlargement

A key advantage of lipofilling over hyaluronic acid is that it uses the body’s own material rather than artificially produced substances. The injected fat comes from your own body – usually from areas such as the abdomen, thighs or hips. This eliminates the risk of allergic reactions or intolerances. The result feels soft and natural because the body fat is its own tissue that integrates perfectly into the lips.

For whom is a Lipofilling suitable?

Basically, the autofat treatment of the lips / lipofilling lips is suitable for all women and men who want a gentle, natural lip enlargement. It is particularly advantageous for people who have already had experience with hyaluronic acid fillers and want a more permanent solution. Even with age-related loss of volume or uneven shape of the lips, lip enlargement with autologous fat can have a harmonizing effect.

Advantages of lip enlargement with autologous fat compared to hyaluronic acid

Compared to hyaluronic acid, lipofilling of the lips offers several crucial advantages: The result remains permanent, as the largest proportion of transplanted fat cells heal and become part of their own tissue.

Treatment of lip injection with fat

Lip correction is done in several precise steps. First, the body's own fatty tissue is removed at a suitable body site by liposuction. It is then cleaned and specially prepared. The treating specialist then injects the processed fat into the lips in very fine doses. This method allows the volume of the lips to be adjusted uniformly and exactly to the desired lip shape.

Fat extraction – gentle and targeted by liposuction

A very fine cannula is used for the removal, so that the intervention is extremely gentle. The removal site is previously locally anesthetized by a so-called tumescence solution in local anesthesia.

Preparation of the fat

Preparation of the fat

The fat obtained is carefully processed by centrifuging to obtain pure, vital fat cells. These are then prepared in syringes. The entire method is sterile.

Lip enlargement with autologous fat – feeling and experience

The technique of lip injection with fat into the lips requires precise aesthetic sensitivity. The specialist injects the fat in fine lines and layers to achieve an even distribution and harmonious lip shaping and enlargement of the lips. The goal is an aesthetic, natural overall picture with a fine lip line and gentle volume – never looking exaggerated or unnatural.

How long does the treatment last?

The autologous fat treatment of the lips usually takes about 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the individual findings and the extent of fat extraction. After the treatment, the patient can usually leave the clinic on the same day. If you have a long journey, you can stay in the Bodenseeklinik or in cooperation pensions or hotels. We are happy to support them in choosing the best solution for them, also with regard to the intervention.

What stunning is used?

Lipofilling can be performed under local anesthesia/local anesthesia if desired in a twilight sleep. The method is painless and allows for a relaxed treatment situation. After the procedure of lip injection with autologous fat, the lips may be slightly swollen, which subsides within a few days.

What happens after the procedure of lip enlargement with autologous fat?

After lip injection with autologous fat, swelling, slight redness or tension may occur. These reactions are normal and usually resolve completely within a week. It is recommended to refrain from intense sunlight and sports activities in the first few days.

Healing, swelling and final result after lips spray

The healing phase is individually different, but usually uncomplicated. After about three to 5 days, most of the swelling has subsided. The final result appears after about two months – as soon as the transplanted fat cells have healed stably.

How long does the result of lip injection last with own fat?

A small part of the injected fat cells is degraded from the body, the remaining cells grow permanently. Therefore, the result is stable in the long term and is generally preserved for many years in healthy lifestyles. Retreatment is generally not necessary.

Why the result of lip injection with self-fat is permanent

Since lipofilling is the body's own, living cells, it is almost completely integrated into the lips after successful healing. This creates a natural, soft and durable volume that feels natural when talking, laughing and kissing. The skin does not change.

Own fat or hyaluronic acid – what is better in the lips?

Both procedures have their authorization and we apply both techniques for lip injection in the Bodenseeklinik. Hyaluronic acid is suitable for short-term adaptation of lip volume and adaptation of lip volume or lip contour as well as testing a new lip shape. However, those who wish a lasting natural result and place value on the body's own substances benefit from lipofilling. Many people feel the result with their own fat as more natural, as no foreign products are introduced.

Risks and possible side effects

The risk is very low in lip enlargement with own fat. Since the body's material is used, allergic reactions do not occur. Light swelling or bruises are possible, but disappear quickly. It is important to carry out this treatment method by an experienced specialist to ensure symmetrical and natural results and to avoid risks such as infections or vascular closures. It is also important that the patient follow our information after lip treatment.

How natural is the result of lip injection with own fat?

The goal of lipofilling in the lips is not a striking change, but a natural emphasis on the image of the face. The upper lip as well as the lower lip remain soft and movable without the typical "Filler look" that causes a rejection. Patients often report that their environment only perceives a fresher, more harmonious radiation – without recognizing the intervention as such; Nature is the goal.

When am I re-corporate?

Even after a few days, most patients are once again suitable for everyday use. Any swelling can be well covered with make-up. After about a week, the result is usually so wide that no outer traces are visible on the lips.

Lipofilling vs. Russian Lips – why naturalness counts

In contrast to techniques such as the so-called "Russian Lips", in which hyaluronic acid is strongly injected in order to produce a striking, clearly defined volume, our own grease method in the Bodenseeklinik is based on naturalness. The aim is a harmonious lip shape that gently fits into the face and respects individual proportions, away from unnatural lips.

Fat in the lips

Can the own fat be pushed into the lips?

Since it is a body-specific tissue, there is no risk of repulsion. The fat cells that grow successfully in the lips behave like any other body cell and remain permanently part of the tissue.

Cost of lip injection with body fat and individual planning

The cost of lipofilling lipofilling with self-fat depends on various factors, such as the extent of treatment, extraction point and individual effort. All interventions and costs are calculated in a transparent manner and discussed individually.

Consulting and individual analysis

Before each treatment there is a consultation with detailed advice and analysis. Face proportions, lip shape and desired results are discussed. Possible pre-experiences with fillers or operations are also taken into account in order to achieve an aesthetically coherent and lasting result for each person.
