Lipofilling (fat transfer) — Services
What Is lipofilling (fat transfer)?
Lipofilling is a procedure that transfers the patient's own fat tissue from one area of the body to another. Fat is harvested from areas of excess (abdomen, flanks, thighs) via micro-liposuction, specially processed, and injected into areas needing volume — face, breasts, buttocks, or hands. The key advantage of lipofilling is complete biocompatibility, as it uses the patient's own biological material.
Dr. Khaustov uses the micro-fat grafting technique — injecting fat in micro-droplets for maximum survival. This technique achieves 70–80% survival of transferred fat and long-lasting results. Beyond volume, fat tissue contains stem cells that improve skin quality in the treated area.
At Figura Clinic in Odesa, facial lipofilling is one of the most popular rejuvenation procedures. It restores lost volume, improves skin quality, and achieves natural rejuvenation without synthetic products.

How the Procedure Works
Consultation
Determining harvest and injection zones, planning transfer volume. Assessing whether there is sufficient donor fat available.
Preparation
Standard pre-operative examination. Weight stabilization. Stop smoking and blood thinners 2 weeks before.
Procedure
Local or general anesthesia. Micro-liposuction of the donor area, fat processing, and injection in micro-droplets through fine cannulas. Duration 1–3 hours.
Recovery
Swelling in the injection area for 7–14 days. Bruising in the donor area for 1–2 weeks. Return to normal activities within 5–7 days.
Recovery
After lipofilling, swelling and possible bruising occur in both the harvesting and injection areas. Facial swelling persists for 7–14 days, with the main result visible at 2–3 weeks. A portion of transferred fat (20–30%) is absorbed during the first month, so Dr. Khaustov injects a slightly larger volume. The final result is assessed at 3–4 months. For maximum effect, 2 procedures spaced 3–6 months apart may be needed.
