Introduction
Lipofilling is a procedure which uses a person’s own fat to fill in the area(s) to enhance fullness or correct irregularities for aesthetic purpose.
Surgical Procedure
During the process, a surgeon will collect fat from a patient’s own body, usually from the abdomen, buttock, or inner/outer thigh areas (called ‘donor site’), through one or more incisions of 3-5 mm each. The donor site incisions will be sutured. Then, the collected fat will be separated to extract only the pure fatty cells and stem cells to be used for filling.
The fat will be injected to soft tissue layer of the recipient site(s) through a small cannula which will leave no visible scars.
It may be necessary for a surgeon to collect and inject more fat than it’s actually needed; this is because when fat cells are injected, they may be reabsorbed by the immune system or by other factors, meaning that around 30-75% of the injected cells can actually survive.Inform your surgeon of any allergies, all medical conditions, and any medication that you are taking (both prescription and non-prescription).
Avoid aspirin and brufen-containing medication for two weeks prior to surgery to eliminate the chance of post op. bleeding.
You should not smoke for 2 weeks prior to surgery as this may affect your reaction to the anaesthetic and prolong the healing process. Patients that suffer from hypertension must inform the surgeon prior to surgery.

Post Operative Care
You may need to wear a panty shield for approximately two weeks whilst your sutures dissolve, during this time you should bathe your vagina with warm salt water to prevent infection and your surgeon may also prescribe some antibiotics. After your surgery you may feel sensitive and tender and you may feel some discomfort when sitting.
Avoid strenuous activity or sexual intercourse – this may take up to three weeks post surgery. Your surgeon will advise you accordingly, when you can resume normal activities. Most women return to work after a week or two.
