A fat transplant / lipostructure can help you

We can use fat grafting to restore volume virtually anywhere on the face or body. It is commonly used for hollow eyes and deep creases around the mouth, as well as to build up cheek areas and create lip volume.

  • How long does a facial fat graft last and what is included in the price?

  • I am a 41-year-old woman who is considering a fat graft for the face. I have two questions: How sustainable is the result? Because as I understand it, it is not permanent? Does the price for "facial fat grafting" cover the entire face, i.e. does it include treatment under the eyes and lips?

    Dr Gunnar Göransson.
    Answer:

    The durability of own fat is good, I have follow-ups that are 10 years with good results. Once the fat sits there and does not disappear faster than other fat on the body.Face includes under the eyes but not the lips.

  • Can I correct my imprinted nipple?

  • 8 years ago, my cancer gave me an impacted nipple. My doctor says nothing can be done, but I think it sounds strange given the current surgical possibilities. So I thought I would check with you specialists who might have a little more knowledge. Is there really no way to correct this? What possibilities are there? Thank you in advance!

    Dr Gunnar Göransson.
    Answer:

    You should consult a plastic or oncoplastic surgeon available at some breast centres, who can certainly improve your condition. For example, fat can be injected into the tissue to fill a void. This should be done in the public health care system as it is a result of cancer treatment.

  • What percentage of your patients get a lumpy result from fat injections under the eyes?

  • I have read that fat injections under the eyes can easily produce a lumpy result. What percentage of your patients experience this? And how many fat injections under the eyes are done in the clinic? I also wonder how much of the injected fat remains? Apparently some of it is absorbed by the body.

    Dr Gunnar Göransson.
    Answer:
    • Lameness. Not a major problem, but can of course occur. We have had 2 cases that had an encapsulation of fat in the form of pea-sized resistors under the eye. This was removed with a small incision. This was probably because the fat was taken out in a place on the body where there was little fat, so connective tissue may be involved. Do not repeat this. The fat is placed deep under the skin to prevent unevenness.
    • About 150 fat injection operations/year.
    • The amount of fat absorbed depends on how the fat is extracted and handled. After centrifugation, about 40 % of pure fat is obtained and this is the fraction used. If you do not centrifuge, about 60 % disappears within a short time. So it is important to have clean grease.

    A second treatment may be required to optimise the final result. At Conturkliniken® we have more than 15 years of experience with fat injections with good durability.

  • What is the shelf life after a fat injection?

  • Dr Gunnar Göransson.
    Answer:

    Long-term sustainability, we have 15-year follow-up with good results. Once the fat is there, it is a natural part of the body, but in a new location. Ageing does not spare this fat, but neither does it disappear faster than other fat due to ageing.

  • Can you make my chin more masculine?

  • You write that you can perform chin augmentation. I am also interested in implants to lower my jawline and widen my jaw when viewed from the front, I want to make my jaw more masculine. Do you perform such operations?

    Dr Gunnar Göransson.
    Answer:

    Chin implants do not lower the jawline but widen it from the front to some extent. What you are asking for can possibly be done with fat injection.

  • Are chin implants the right choice for a more pointed chin?

  • My thoughts are whether a chin implant could reduce the fold in the chin and make it more pointed? My wishes are to get the chin less puffy, rather a little pointed and reduce the fold of course.

    Dr Gunnar Göransson.
    Answer:

    The fold in the chin is best addressed by filling it in, not with a chin implant. If you research fat grafting / fat injection, you will find an example.

  • Is silicone or own body fat used for chin implants?

  • Is it best to use silicone or your own body fat? I need a minor adjustment of about 1 cm. Is beard growth affected in the area where you have implants/own fat injected?

    Dr Gunnar Göransson.
    Answer:

    It is possible to use both a chin implant and fat injection. However, fat injection may require more than one treatment.

  • Do you perform chin dimple reduction?

  • I have seen that you perform chinplasty in your centre. Something I've been wondering for a while now, is whether you do chin dimple reduction? If you do, how much would it cost? I am only interested in something more permanent. What I have understood is that it is not possible to remove the pits completely, which is perfectly fine with me as I am only interested in reducing it somewhat, as I feel that it is a little too prominent for me.

    Dr Gunnar Göransson.
    Answer:

    Judging from the pictures, it should be possible to reduce the pit with a fat injection or maybe 2 treatments are needed.

  • Can you get rid of uneven skin tones?

  • I have Indian skin with very uneven skin tone that is mostly genetic, with very dark circles. Is there any treatment that you think could help? I have dark circles genetically, as you can see in the attached picture, and have dark around the mouth and a little down on the cheeks. Is it worth trying?

    Dr Gunnar Göransson.
    Answer:

    I have looked at your pictures. You have dark skin and you are sunken under your eyes. With fat injection, it is possible to remove the shadow due to the sunken by filling up with fat. It usually looks better, but I cannot guarantee that you will get rid of all the darkness. Patients find that it is easier to apply make-up as it becomes smooth under the eyes. There is a risk with fat injections that there may be brown pigment deposits in the skin, which can happen if there is a bruise and remain for a very long time.

  • Is it possible to remove a pit/indentation from the ham?

  • There is a large clear pit and bulge on the right buttock and the left one has started too, it looks unnatural and I don't know what happened. Of course it is fat and that exercise can do its job, but I have trained all my life and my limit has been reached, I do not have time for more. So I wonder now if there is anything to do.

    Dr Gunnar Göransson.
    Answer:

    It is usually possible to fill a pit with fat, but it may take more than one treatment. At Conturkliniken® we have long experience of fat injections with lasting results.

  • What is the result of injecting your own fat into your lips?

  • I've tried injecting Restylane and Juvederm, but it doesn't work on my lips because it creeps up and forms little "knots" on the surface. How does it work if you inject your own fat? Is it guaranteed to be lump-free? Does it last forever? Can it be removed?

    Dr Gunnar Göransson.
    Answer:

    The fat injection works very well in most cases, but may require more than one treatment and you have to overcompensate a little during the treatment - you may have to inject a little more than what is intended as the final result. The amount of fat that remains after about 3 months will also remain in the long term. The lips then become thinner over the years as they age, but this is a slow process.

  • Can you remove wrinkled skin from your elbows and make your earlobes more supple?

  • I wonder if it is possible to get help with removing some wrinkled skin at the elbows and if there is something to fill the earlobes with so that they become a little more resilient and do not stretch out when I use slightly heavier earrings?

    Dr Gunnar Göransson.
    Answer:

    The filling of earlobes can be done with filler, such as Restylane or Juvederm, which are body-identical substances. Your own fat can also be used and it may require more than one treatment, but then it's there. Fat injections are more invasive and my recommendation is to start with filler. However, wrinkles on elbows are more difficult to resolve.

  • How to make the cheekbones & jawline clearer?

  • Dr Gunnar Göransson.
    Answer:

    You can use your own fat, it gives a good and natural result. We only use chin implants in the face to enhance the profile, but even here we use fat.

  • Can the jawline be lifted with injections?

  • I wonder if you do injections in the jaw to lift the jawline? I have heard that you can do it and would like to do something for mine.

    Dr Gunnar Göransson.
    Answer:

    Yes, injecting fillers or fat can enhance the jawline and give the appearance of a lift. However, with the reservation that a consultation should be carried out to see if you are a candidate for the method. Welcome to book a consultation.

  1. Consultation and planning You are carefully informed that the fat injection may have to be done in two stages. The price is fixed from the beginning so there will be no unpleasant surprises. During the consultation, you will also see pictures of the results of similar procedures done here at Conturkliniken® in Stockholm.
  2. Preparations You will be given specific instructions regarding food and drink, smoking, medication, etc. The day before the surgery, we have a phone call to finalise what will happen on the day of the surgery.
  3. The procedure itself The procedure is performed under a combination of general and local anaesthesia. There may be two small stitches where the injection has been placed. They leave no scars and after a week we remove them at a return visit.
  4. The time after Follow-up is done 3-4 months after surgery. Images are taken and compared with pre-surgery images to see the results. With this particular treatment, it is not uncommon for an additional treatment to be performed.

There is some risk of unevenness in this treatment, but as the fat injected is maximally purified and no overcompensation is done, this risk is small.

It is better to do the treatment in 2 steps. Bruising occurs to varying degrees but always disappears. Feel free to contact us at Conturkliniken® in Stockholm for a personal consultation, and we will tell you more in detail about the process and how we can help you.

Do you want to get your bright eyes back, and get rid of hollow eyes or dark circles under the eyes?

The eyes are said to be the mirror of the soul and our identity. The eyes are the first thing we see in a person, and having bright eyes means a lot to our self-esteem. Over time, age takes its toll.

Hollow eyes and dark circles under the eyes often give a tired impression, this is because we lose volume around the eyes. Sometimes heredity comes into play. This is why some people suffer from hollow eyes at an early age. Weight loss and smoking also affect volume. A fat grafting procedure can correct the problem.

We can combine fat transplantation with other treatments to create even more naturalness and rejuvenation of the face in line with the Conturmetoden. For example, facelifts and laser rejuvenation of the eye area. You can also undergo a medical skin care programme if skin exfoliation is needed.

Of course, you can have fat grafting as the only treatment and possibly add other treatments later. This is up to you.

At Conturkliniken® in Stockholm, we have further developed New York doctor Dr Coleman's lipostructure technique. It involves injecting fat with your own fat to recreate some of your youthful appearance. The results of this type of fat grafting are successful and lasting over time. This is shown by our experience with this method, which we have been using since 2000.

The technique is based on using the body's own fat to restore the volume loss caused by ageing. One of the advantages of this method is that the body's immune system does not react to the implant because it comes from the body itself. Therefore, there is no risk of allergic reactions.

It may take several fat grafting treatments to fully restore volume and fullness to the face. We also use the method on the rest of the body, for example in the case of unevenness and if you want a larger buttock.

Fat grafting according to Conturmetoden™ – for a more natural result

We are all different. And there are several ways to treat signs of ageing.

For us at Conturkliniken® in Stockholm, it is important to give you a naturally beautiful appearance that harmonises with the whole, and that leaves no traces of intervention. Therefore, we perform our treatments according to Conturmetoden™.

For us, Conturmetoden is not just about the procedure itself. Each patient receives personalised care throughout the treatment - where the follow-up is an important part for you, and for us.
