For over a century, surgeons have searched with little success for a filler to restructure the face and body. Physicians have used a bizarre assortment of foreign substances: gold, silver, paraffin, sponge rubber, silk, gutta-percha, and ivory, and more recently, silicone, collagen and Goretex®. Despite well publicized complications, some of these remain in common use because we have not found a more suitable filler. With LipoStructure®, we can now use the patient's own fat to alter the structure of the face and body.
THE TECHNIQUE OF LIPOSTRUCTURE®
To ensure lasting changes, the transplanted fat must be able to survive in its new environment. With LipoStructure®, body fat is gently harvested, refined with minimal handling, and painstakingly layered into minuscule strands. The method isolates each bit of fat within the surrounding muscle, skin, bone, cartilage or connective tissue. This specific layering method creates a large surface area of contact with the augmented area. This ensures that nutrition can be exchanged through capillaries in the enveloping tissue. This is essential for the fat to survive.
