Lipoderma

Fat and volume loss can happen for any number of reasons, but aging is usually the top culprit. As we age, we lose fat in our face, hands, and certain parts of our body, and it can often make us look older than we feel. One of the best treatments for this concern is Lipoderma. This unique product can enhance your appearance and turn back the clock.

What is Lipoderma?

Lipoderma is an adipose (fat) tissue that is implanted where fat naturally exists to restore volume. It’s often perfect for patients who have experienced fat and volume loss in their hands, body, and face, including the breasts and buttocks.

More specifically, for the face, it can be added to the midface (cheek region), nasolabial folds and temples. It can also help improve the appearance of the jowls and the neck.

It’s also highly effective for patients experiencing contour irregularities due to aging, trauma, or liposuction, or who have depressed scars or defects. It’s also a great natural alternative to synthetic fillers.

What are the Benefits of Lipoderma?

Lipoderma in Bloomfield Hills, MI comes with a variety of benefits you can look forward to. By addressing volume loss with Lipoderma, you can achieve a natural and younger-looking appearance quickly and easily. Recovery is also very minimal, you will be able to go back to work or your normal routine almost immediately.

Treatment is also relatively quick. Depending on the results you’re looking for, it can take anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes. Additionally, because the Lipoderma material is more natural than synthetic fillers, it is much longer lasting.

How is Lipoderma Performed?

The Lipoderma treatment process is relatively simple. We’ll begin by applying a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area. From there, Dr. Ellen will use a small needle to inject the Lipoderma product under the skin. The number of injections you need will depend on the specific treatment area and the results you’re looking for.

Once the Lipoderma is injected, it will integrate with the surrounding tissues to provide immediate improvements, and over time, it will gradually become one with your body’s own fat.

What Results and Recovery Can I Expect?

There is very little recovery from Lipoderma. You can resume your normal activities right away. You may have some redness and mild discomfort, but that can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Additionally, while some patients only require one treatment session, some individuals need multiple sessions. During your consultation, Dr. Ellen will walk you through your treatment timeline.

While some results will be visible immediately, it can take up to six months for the tissues to regenerate and integrate with your natural tissues and fat.
