Autologous Fat Transfer at Dr. Limbourg's Practice

At Dr. Limbourg’s practice in Hanover, we offer you the opportunity to restore lost facial volume using your own body’s fat tissue (nano-fat). This method, also known as autologous fat transfer or lipofilling, uses your own fat to build volume. This restores natural contours, reduces wrinkles, and improves skin quality, resulting in natural and long-lasting results. This treatment is particularly suitable for patients seeking an alternative to synthetic fillers and who value a natural appearance.

Autologous Fat Transfer: Natural Results Meet Aesthetics

As we age, the face loses volume and elasticity. Sunken cheeks, deep nasolabial folds, or thin lips can affect one’s appearance. Autologous fat transfer offers a natural solution to correct these changes.

The Autologous Fat Transfer Procedure

  1. Fat Harvesting: First, fat tissue is harvested under sterile conditions from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips.
  2. Processing: The harvested fat is purified and prepared for injection.
  3. Injection: The processed fat is injected into the desired facial areas using fine cannulas to build volume and smooth out wrinkles.

The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia or twilight sedation. After the procedure, mild swelling or bruising may occur, but these typically subside within 1–14 days.

Long-term results:

Most of the transplanted fat becomes permanently integrated, so the results remain visible long-term. Since the body’s own tissue is used, the treatment is particularly well-tolerated and provides a natural appearance.

Treatment Process: Here’s How It Works at Our Practice

1. Consultation & Skin Analysis: We assess skin condition, wrinkle depth, underlying causes, and your individual goals.

2. Treatment: Before thorough disinfection, the skin is locally anesthetized upon request. Injections are administered precisely using fine, atraumatic needles. Duration: approx. 15–30 minutes.

3. Aftercare: Mild redness or swelling usually subsides after 1–2 days. Applying cold compresses supports healing.

4. Results: Initial effects are often visible immediately; the full results become apparent within a few days.

I am so grateful to Dr. Limbourg. Six months ago, she performed a breast implant removal and reconstruction using my own fat. Fortunately, I didn’t need a breast lift, even though other specialists strongly advised me to have one! I listened to my gut feeling, and Dr. Limbourg was right! The result turned out absolutely beautiful, even without a lift. To me, she is the best doctor. You feel so well taken care of by her. A huge thank you for this new lease on life.
