Lipofilling (WAL) at Helyos Surgery and Rehabilitation Center

What is lipofilling (WAL)?

Lipofilling or fat grafting is a plastic surgery procedure in which fat cells are taken from one part of the body and transferred to another to correct defects or for rejuvenation. The WAL (Water Assisted Liposuction) technique allows for more precise, safe, and effective fat removal from problem areas, ensuring high-quality transplantation.

How does the consultation work?

Examination by the doctor — during the consultation, the doctor assesses the patient's condition, determines the areas for fat harvesting and transplantation.
Surgical plan development — based on the consultation, the doctor creates an optimal plan for the procedure, considering the volume of fat needed for transplantation.
Preparation for surgery — the patient undergoes necessary tests to evaluate overall health before the procedure.

Indications for lipofilling (WAL):

Restoration of volume in the face area (cheeks, temples, lips)
Correction of defects or asymmetry in the breasts or buttocks
Treatment of wrinkles and skin folds
Facial and body rejuvenation
Contour correction after weight loss or pregnancy

How is the surgery performed?

Fat harvesting — using the WAL technique, fat is carefully harvested from subcutaneous tissues via water-assisted suction, minimizing tissue trauma and improving collection precision.
Processing the fat — after collection, the fat is cleaned and prepared for transplantation into the target areas.
Fat transplantation — the fat is injected into the required areas with special cannulas, providing a natural appearance and restoring volume.

Benefits of lipofilling (WAL):

Minimal scarring as fat is harvested through tiny incisions.
Natural results since the patient’s own tissue is used.
No risk of rejection.
Use of modern WAL technology for minimal trauma and faster recovery.
The ability to simultaneously correct multiple areas on the body.

Rehabilitation and aftercare:

Light physical activity is allowed after a few weeks.
Following the doctor’s instructions for skin recovery during the first few days.
Special care for the transplantation sites to prevent complications.
