“Non-surgical and minimally – invasive Procedures in facial rejuvenation have, as main task, the restoration of the face volume”
Non-surgical and minimally invasive procedures like autologous fat transplantation and chemical peeling, combined with classical surgical procedures provide an excellent result. It is a new paradigm in facial rejuvenation compared to the very extensive surgery of the late 90s, in which face volume was not considered.
Regenerative plastic surgery of the face
The injection of autologous fat (lipofilling/ micro fat transfer), in contrast to fillers, has a regenerative property; the autologous fat contains stem cells and growth factors. Autologous fat transplantation not only leads to correction of facial volume, but also improves the skin quality. The fat harvesting follows rigorous criteria of processing.
Liposuction
We only perform liposuction (fat removal) in the neck area with the aim to define the jawline (mandibular line).
