The use of autologous fat to compensate for / fill wrinkles obviates all the disadvantages associated with exogenous compounds. Artificial preparations always incorporate the risk of rejection. Even the use of bio-implants bears the minimal residual risk in respect to tolerance.
There are special techniques available today whereby fatty cells may be removed from the donor area and transplanted to the desired region with fine needles, thereby bringing the fatty grafts to the treated region.

The risk of fatty tissue depletion is thus diminished and the the need for repetition is diminished.

The abdominal and lumbar areas constitute the donor sites, and this method of harvesting fatty cells has nothing in common with normal liposuction. This application utilises the smallest needles that have been specially designed to this end.
The living fatty cells are separated from the dead cells and blood components through centrifugation.
A percentage of cells that had been calculated prior to surgery are then injected into the facial region with fine needles. An over-correction, as was common in the past, is no longer necessary.
One must also understand that freezing the fatty cells damages them to such an extent that few survive, thereby limiting the expection of lasting success.

This procedure is particularly suitable for the correction of pronounced wrinkles, injections in lips and the filling of sunken cheeks, temples and back of the hands etc., as well as skin and connective tissue defects such as scars from surgery.
