the dermis layer of the skin to lose its strength, and make it sag, thin, wrinkled, and dehydrated.The advanced technique of fat grafting using Lipopen technology is a perfect procedure to reduce and eliminate the aging factors from the skin. The lipopen treatment uses the patient's own fat to restore the attractive contours of the facea, chin, cheeks, lips, and hands. It helps to add fullness to the area which receives the fat grafts.
Lipopen is the first motorized injector that enables the fat continuous or bolus delivery in a sterile environment. It is a powerful injector for fat transfer that is equipped with cordless technology. The injector helps inject milli, micro, and nano fat in the delicate area of the face, neck, hands, and décolletage. The injector delivers the purified fat at three different delivery modes 'fat, medium, slow'. The technology also comes with different fat drop mode that includes three different sizes like ‘large, medium, and small’. These variations help in delivering the best outcomes to the patient. The M1 and M2 Lipopen mode are used to deliver fat at different target areas. With lipopen technology, the fat boluses' size and precision are constant and controlled, which helps deliver predictable outcomes. Fat grafting using lipopen is the best non-invasive treatment that improves one's aesthetic appearance.
The key to successful fat grafting treatment lies in the technique used. The grafted fat must gain the link with the blood supply in the new location. All this is now possible with a small amount of fat injected by lipopen at Aestiva Clinic. The clinic also uses advanced instrumentation methods and techniques to deliver successful fat grafting results to their patients to other different body organs.
Fat grafting treatment is performed in the following steps:
The fat is extracted from the donor area, and this is done using the liposuction technique. A thin liposuction cannula is used to extract fat as they make small holes at the target site. The donor site is the butt, inner or outer thigh, lower back or abdomen, and the fat is obtained using a special cannula. Various liposuction techniques are used to deliver fat safely so that they may not destroy the fat cells.
The fat is then processed using a centrifugation process that separates contaminants, debris, dead cells, and fluids, and helps obtain purified fat cells. Only undamaged and cleaned fat is used for fat transfer. Then with the lipopen device, the fat is re-injected in small droplets throughout the recipient area's subcutaneous tissues. This ensures that every fat droplet injected gets good blood supply that helps fat graft to survive. The amount of fat injected is measured in cc’s, and this requirement varies according to the patient's expectations.
The key benefit of this treatment is that an individual fat is used for face and hand sculpting, obtained from the patient's own body. After the treatment, there is a possibility of bruising and swelling on the donor or target site. These are the natural reactions of the body and clear within a few days after the treatment. One is able to return to normal activities within a day or two.
The results can be seen once the swelling subsides, and it provides a lasting effect as compared to hyaluronic and collagen derma fillers. The regenerative effect of adipose brings youthful appearance to the face, and the skin continues to improve months after the surgery. Newly created blood vessels bring blood supply and nutrients to the aging skin.
