Wrinkle treatment using autologous fat (lipofilling) is very well suited to refill fat depots in the face and to give your face again a youthful and more vital expression.
The treatment using autologous fat has been used routinely at Park-Klink Birkenwerder/Berlin for injections to fill lines and folds since 1999. The advantage of this procedure is that the body’s own fat is used and that no artificial substances are injected. This procedure is very well suited to fill even deep folds between nose and mouth. If the autologous fat grows on well, it lasts a lifetime and may improve the skin quality considerably.
In order to treat wrinkles and lines using autologous fat, small quantities of fat are aspired with a thin cannula at a site with superfluous reserves (e.g. at the lower abdomen or thighs/inner sides of the knees) under local anaesthesia and then injected into the desired area of the face.
We use your own body fat and do not inject any artificial substances. Another benefit of lipofilling is that the fat stays on site once it has grown on.

This procedure only requires incisions at the inner side of the lower eyelids, thus there will be no visible scars. If at the same time, there is a lot of excess skin, an incision is made right under the lashes, the bags are exposed and the fat will be either removed or dispersed.
Areas that can be filled with hyaluronic acid are also eligible for lipofilling.

Swelling and bruising (haematoma) can occur. In very rare cases there is the possibility of inflammation. After surgery, about 30% of the grafted fat is absorbed by the body. This is why treatment might have to be repeated.
The injection of autologous fat can be done in an in-office procedure under local anaesthesia or, on request, also under twilight anaesthesia (in the latter case, please schedule at least 2 hours wake-up time after surgery).
The costs for wrinkle treatments using autologous fat depend on the individual scope of services. In a personal consultation, our doctors will detail the exact costs for you, which vary according to quantity and area of application. For average prices, please refer to our price list.
Dr. med. Ursula Tanzella and her team will be happy to advise you personally.
