How does autologous fat transfer work at our clinic?

After a detailed consultation, including counseling, examination, and planning, we perform the procedure in our own clinic. We take the time to understand your expectations and mark both donor and recipient areas precisely. On the day of surgery, you will be scheduled to minimize waiting time. I will again review everything with you and redo the markings. Depending on whether you undergo the procedure under general or local anesthesia, our team will provide comprehensive care. After the operation, monitoring is generally not necessary, and you can usually go home the same day.

Advantages / disadvantages / risks – what alternatives exist?

A major advantage of autologous fat transfer is the use of your own tissue. For example, in **breast augmentation**, this can be a key benefit compared to silicone implants, which carry specific risks. A possible disadvantage is that the desired volume may require additional sessions. Complications such as bruising or so-called **oil cysts** (fat not accepted by the body that encapsulates) may occur but are easily treated minimally invasively. Alternatives include **dermal fillers** (e.g. hyaluronic acid) for facial applications or **implants** for breast augmentation.

What should be considered after the procedure?

Compression garments are typically worn for about **6 weeks** on the liposuction area to promote optimal healing. Small incisions heal within about **14 days**, and dissolvable sutures mean no stitch removal is necessary. **Sports activities** can usually resume after **2 weeks**, depending on your recovery. Your personal aftercare plan will be discussed in detail before every procedure.
