Restore facial volume and natural harmony.

A plumped-up face, softened features, a younger, naturally rested look.

Lipostructure is aimed at women and men wishing to restore volumes lost with age, or to improve certain facial proportions without recourse to synthetic products.

It can be ideal for:

– Restoring contour to the cheekbones or temples.

– Smoothing out deep nasolabial folds.

– Firming a sagging facial oval.

– Complementing a facelift or other aesthetic surgery.

Lipostructure, also known as lipofilling, is a surgical technique that involves taking fat from an area of the body (usually the stomach or thighs) and reinjecting it into the face, where volume has become hollow over time. This treatment can be used to fill in furrows, restore the shape of cheekbones or temples, or soften a sagging mandibular contour.

No hospitalization is required. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis.

Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the areas treated and patient comfort.

You should avoid social contact for 3 to 7 days, due to possible swelling or bruising of the face.

You can resume your daily activities as soon as possible, as long as you avoid strenuous exertion for the first few days.

Gentle physical activity after 10 days. Gradual return to more intense exercise after 3 weeks.

It is important to protect treated areas from the sun for at least 6 weeks, and to use a high level of sun protection to avoid any risk of pigmentation.

A preliminary medical consultation defines the areas to be harvested and reinjected, assesses the quality of the fat, and ensures that the procedure is well adapted to the patient’s expectations.

Fat is removed by gentle liposuction, purified and then meticulously reinjected into the face. The procedure is precise, artistic and performed with fine cannulas to guarantee a harmonious, natural result.

Some swelling or bruising may appear in the injected areas, but this fades within a few days. The final result is visible after 3 to 4 weeks, while the fat stabilizes. Some of the fat injected is naturally resorbed (around 20-30%), and this is taken into account during the initial procedure.

As soon as visible volume loss appears, often around the age of 40, but sometimes earlier depending on morphology and skin quality.

At Matignon, cost transparency is part of the process: no nasty surprises, everything is clear from the outset.

The procedure is not very painful. The donor areas may experience slight post-operative tightness, similar to that felt after liposuction. Simple analgesics are sufficient to manage discomfort.

At Matignon, post-operative care is personalized and attentive to ensure a smooth recovery.
