Autologous fat injections for wrinkle treatment in Düsseldorf
Auf dieser Seite
Are you looking for a plastic surgeon who performs wrinkle treatment with autologous fat? Would you like to reduce wrinkles naturally using your body's own material? Then you should consider autologous fat wrinkle injections.
Autologous fat injections, also known as lipofilling, are an excellent treatment for restoring fullness and volume to the ageing face. The lips, cheeks, and mid-face are the areas that can be augmented with great success using this technique. Autologous fat therapy is also used for breast augmentation with autologous fat.
The advantage of wrinkle treatment with autologous fat is that no foreign substances are used in the treatment, as is the case with wrinkle treatment using Botox® or hyaluronic acid treatment. With lipofilling, the body's own material is used for wrinkle injections – material that must first be obtained by liposuction.

How does the wrinkle treatment with autologous fat work?
Step 1 – Harvesting the autologous fat
As with liposuction, the autologous fat is harvested under local anaesthesia from areas of the body where a modest reduction in fat is well tolerated. This fat reduction simultaneously improves the contour without creating indentations at the donor sites. Autologous fat for wrinkle treatment is commonly harvested from the lower abdomen, the hips, or the inner thighs.
Step 2 – Processing the autologous fat
The autologous fat is then processed under sterile conditions to prepare it for transplantation into other areas of the body. The fat is first filtered through sterile gauze, freed from larger connective tissue components using forceps, and then transferred into specialised syringes.
Step 3 – Injecting the autologous fat
Following local anaesthesia of the areas to be treated, the autologous fat is injected deep beneath the skin through small incisions of approximately 2 mm, using specially shaped single-use injection cannulas with blunt, tissue-sparing tips. As a proportion of the transplanted fat is naturally reabsorbed, slightly more fat than the desired final volume is typically injected.
The total treatment duration for this wrinkle treatment in Düsseldorf is approximately 1.5 hours.
Wrinkle injections in Düsseldorf – how important is the surgeon's experience?
As with all plastic and aesthetic procedures, it is important when considering wrinkle injections with autologous fat to consult an experienced plastic surgeon. Since wrinkle treatment with autologous fat requires liposuction of the hips or abdomen, it is important to receive comprehensive information about the options and risks associated with liposuction prior to treatment. I have many years of experience in wrinkle treatment with autologous fat, Botox and hyaluronic acid. It is important to me to provide entirely individual treatment at my private practice for plastic and aesthetic surgery in Düsseldorf, in order to achieve a beautiful and natural result for you with autologous fat treatment.
Frequently asked questions
I am very slim. Can I still have wrinkle treatment with autologous fat?
Yes. Even in very slim patients, a small amount of fat can always be found on the body. Wrinkle treatment with autologous fat requires only a small quantity of fat.
What complications can occur with lipofilling?
A major advantage of wrinkle treatment with autologous fat is that no foreign material is used – only the body's own tissue. This significantly reduces the risk of potential side effects.
How long does wrinkle treatment with autologous fat last?
Facial contouring and wrinkle injections with autologous fat: up to 60% of the transplanted fat tissue remains at the injection site for up to one year. Multiple autologous fat injections at three- and six-month intervals improve the maximum degree of correction achievable. The best result of facial contouring with autologous fat is achieved after the second or third treatment with the body's own fat.
How is the autologous fat harvested?
The fat for facial contouring with autologous fat is obtained by liposuction. Using tiny, discreet incisions at the donor site – for example on the abdomen, hips, or buttocks – the plastic surgeon aspirates fat from the tissue using specialised blunt cannulas. This autologous fat is then processed and injected to restore volume and reduce wrinkles.
