Aesthetic medicine is an area that has evolved significantly in recent years, even to the point of finding beneficial roles for body fat. The BeautiFill procedure is also based on the method of lipofilling, whereby body fat is sucked from the abdomen or thighs, being processed and injected into the aging areas of the face, characterized by lack of volume. This is a procedure used for several years in the United States and introduced all around the world because of its efficiency.
BeautiFill is a procedure designed especially for people over the age of 35 because with the aging process, but also with the influence of internal and external factors, the skin also goes through a process of absorption of fat cushions. This leads to an aging and tired face.
The procedure takes place under local anesthesia. Once this has been done, a small incision will be made through which the necessary amount is drawn. The extraction shall be carried out in such a way that the incision traces are minimal.
After this stage of the procedure, the fat processing stage is passed. More specifically, this is the time when it is centrifuged and purified, so that insertion is made as easy as possible.
The next step is to inject the fat and distribute it evenly in places that require filling.
The procedure takes about 60 to 90 minutes and does not require hospitalization. Allergic reactions are excluded, and patients can resume their usual activities one week after surgery.
Where can BeautiFill be used?
BeautiFill addresses all facial or body areas that require excess volume, producing safe, long-lasting, and natural-looking results. The technique involves using your own fat to fill an area that needs extra volume. Fat is removed from other areas, rich in fat, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, upper arms, buttocks, and male chest, and it is processed and reinjected using very fine special cannulas, like a slightly thicker needle.

The same technique is practiced for other areas of the body such as:

- Augmentation of the buttocks area;
- Liposculpture in any area of the body.
