Autologous fat treatment in Frankfurt

An autologous fat treatment is suitable for patients who are looking for natural volume replenishment or gentle rejuvenation and do not wish to use synthetic fillers. It is particularly suitable for volume loss in the face, sunken cheeks, dark circles under the eyes or for discreet lip correction. The prerequisite is that sufficient autologous fat is available for removal.

The method can only be used to a limited extent in cases of very severe volume loss or a lack of fat reserves. Individual medical clarification is also necessary in the case of certain pre-existing conditions or severe metabolic disorders. In a personal consultation, we will carefully examine whether autologous fat is the best solution for you.

Autologous fat can be used in a variety of ways, particularly on the face, for example on cheeks, temples, lips, nasolabial folds or tear troughs. The treatment is also suitable for improving the skin or correcting minor asymmetries. Depending on the findings, autologous fat can also be combined with other aesthetic procedures.

The result looks particularly natural as only the body’s own material is used. Volume, contours and transitions blend harmoniously into the existing facial features without appearing artificial or “injected”. The aim is always a fresh, refreshed appearance – not a visible change.

Some of the transplanted fat cells grow permanently into the tissue and are retained in the long term. In the first few months, a proportion of the fat may break down naturally, which is why the final result is assessed after around three to six months. The results can last for several years and are partially permanent.

In some cases, a second treatment may be useful to further optimize the volume or refine the result. Whether a top-up is necessary depends on the individual findings, the desired volume and the healing of the autologous fat. This will be discussed together during the procedure.

Yes, autologous fat treatment is considered a very safe method as no foreign material is used. Incompatibilities or allergic reactions are extremely rare. Modern processing techniques and many years of experience ensure a high level of safety.

As with any minimally invasive procedure, temporary swelling, bruising or slight feelings of tension may occur. These usually subside within a few days to weeks. Serious complications are rare and are further minimized through careful planning and aftercare.

The fat is removed and injected via very small puncture sites that are barely visible later, if at all. As a rule, these heal completely. Visible scars are not to be expected if the procedure is carried out correctly.

Most patients are socially acceptable again after around three to five days. Slight swelling or bruising may persist for a little longer, but can be easily concealed. Sports activities should be suspended for about two weeks.

Thanks to modern anesthetic procedures, autologous fat treatment is generally well tolerated. Most patients hardly feel any pain during the procedure. Even after the treatment, discomfort is usually mild and easily treatable.

Yes, autologous fat treatment can be combined very well with other aesthetic procedures. Frequent combinations are facelifts, neck lifts or eyelid corrections to achieve a holistically rejuvenated result. Please do not hesitate to contact us.

The first results are visible immediately after the treatment, but are still affected by swelling. The final result is visible after 2 to 3 months, as soon as the autologous fat has completely healed. From this point onwards, the result looks particularly natural and stable.
