Small-volume body lipofilling is a minimally invasive plastic surgical procedure indicated for subtle contour enhancement using autologous adipose tissue.

The procedure involves:

• Harvesting of a small volume of adipose tissue from donor areas.

• Processing and purification of the collected fat.

• Precise reinjection into targeted anatomical areas requiring minor volumetric correction.

This approach allows for:

• Improvement in body contour, symmetry, and proportional balance.

• Enhancement of soft tissue quality while maintaining a natural appearance and consistency.

Clinical advantages include:

• Use of autologous tissue, ensuring high biocompatibility.

• Favorable tolerance and tissue integration.

Small-volume lipofilling is suitable for:

• Refined and localized contour adjustments.

• Patients seeking natural-looking, long-lasting results with minimal downtime.

Small-Volume Body Lipofilling – Postoperative Recovery and Travel Recommendations

Following small-volume body lipofilling, patients may experience:

• Postoperative edema and ecchymosis during the initial 2–3 weeks.

• Temporary limitation of daily activities.

Clinical course:

• Gradual improvement over time.

• Final result stabilization may take several months to years.

Postoperative recommendations include:

• Remaining in the country for at least 7–10 days following surgery.

• Avoidance of air travel and short-distance travel (up to 3 hours) during this period.

For extended travel:

• Journeys exceeding 4–6 hours should be postponed for at least 14–21 days.

• This recommendation is intended to reduce the risk of postoperative complications and support adequate healing.
