Face Contouring with Autologous Fat in Düsseldorf
On this page
We remove troublesome fat cells and insert them where there is a lack of volume or skin quality. The special thing about your own fat: It acts as a natural filler and improves the skin from the inside. Fat cells contain growth factors that regenerate the surrounding tissue. The result is a visibly improved skin structure.
Introduced autologous fat (micro or nano fat) behaves like the body's own tissue. It ensures natural and long-term stable results.

What does face contouring with your own fat mean?
Face contouring means restoring and modeling natural facial contours. For regeneration and natural skin rejuvenation.
We replace missing volume with microfat. For example on the cheeks, in the temple area or in the area of deep wrinkles. The fat cells grow and sometimes integrate permanently into the tissue.
Nanofat contains regenerative cell components, including stem cell components and growth factors. This variant of your own fat does not primarily provide padding. It improves the skin structure, stimulates collagen formation and has a biostimulating effect.
The results: More contour. More tension. Better skin quality.
Who is the treatment suitable for?
We recommend face contouring with your own fat:
after weight loss or weight loss injections (e.g. semaglutide)
beginning or premature skin aging
thinning skin in the midface
Periorital Rejuvenation: Compensating for age-related volume loss in the area of the upper and lower eyelids and the transition region to the cheek (tear trough)
preventive treatments in the sense of skin longevity
slim people with sunken skin areas
At artethic® Düsseldorf, we also remove your own fat as part of an extended and larger face lift such as the MACS or SMAS lift.
Your own fat gives shape (micro fat as a natural filler)
Compared to hyaluronic acid, treatment with your own fat is more complex. The fat must be removed and processed and then returned to the tissue in a third step. This is also reflected in the higher costs. But it has decisive advantages:
Some of your own fat integrates permanently. The growth rate is approximately 60-70%, repeat procedures are possible.
It is the body's own, natural material.
The effects are very natural.
Unexpected late complications due to intolerance as with artificial fillers are not to be expected!

Nanofat: biostimulation and skin tightening
Nanofat contains regenerative cell components that:
stimulate collagen formation
improve the skin structure
smooth fine wrinkles
Improve the skin quality in the eye area
can slow down skin aging in the long term
Nanofat is therefore a biostimulator and supports the natural regeneration (skin renewal) of the skin. More about biostimulation with nanofat
Effective combinations
Depending on the condition of the skin, we can enhance the effect of our own fat through combinations. For example with:
PRP or PRF: additional growth factors, improved regeneration
Needling: For better absorption of active ingredients
Radiofrequency: additional collagen stimulation and tightening
One-stitch lifting: intensive firming plus volume
Facelift: Improving skin quality and compensating for previous volume loss.
Your own fat can also be used on the scalp. For example combined with PRP and PRF. For this purpose, nanofat (not microfat) is made into a particularly easy-to-inject form with PRP and the growth factors and stem cell properties are brought directly to the hair root.
Trend: your own fat instead of synthetic fillers
Internationally, especially in the USA, the trend is shifting away from over-tightening and classic fillers towards natural, regenerative rejuvenation. The reasons: The results are more natural, usually last longer and can be easily combined with further aesthetic corrections. Another important reason: the quality of the skin visibly improves.

Advantages of face contouring with your own fat
Boundaries and realistic expectations
Your own fat is not a substitute for a surgical facelift if there is significant excess skin.
Some of the transplanted fat breaks down in the first few weeks. The final result will be assessed after a few months.
Swelling and hematomas are possible. An individual medical examination is the prerequisite for successful and satisfactory treatment. Whether your own fat makes sense for you depends on your skin quality, volume and your personal ideas about the treatment goal.

Are the results of treatment with your own fat visible immediately?
A direct volume effect is noticeable immediately after treatment, but is influenced by swelling. Some of the transplanted fat cells break down in the first few weeks. The complete result can be realistically assessed after about two to three months, when the introduced fat has been completely integrated.
Can your own fat really slow down the aging process?
Your own fat, especially in the form of nanofat, has a biostimulating effect. The cell components it contains can support collagen formation and improve the skin structure. This allows the skin quality to stabilize in the long term. The natural aging process is not stopped, but is often slowed down (slow aging).
Does the treatment also make sense for younger patients?
Your own fat is also suitable as a preventive measure as part of Skin Longevity. The aim of the treatment is the early stabilization of contours and skin quality, even before the skin begins to sag.
Why is the treatment more complex than a filler treatment?
Before the injection, the patient's own fat must be carefully removed and specially prepared. This additional step makes the treatment more technically demanding and time-consuming. At the same time, the effect is more lasting and the treatment itself is more tolerable (the body's own material is used).
