Facial surgery in Alicante
Facial lipofilling restores volume, softens visible signs of ageing and improves facial harmony using your own fat.
Book an appointmentAlso known as facial lipofilling, facial fat transfer is a personalised surgical treatment that can refresh and revitalise the face naturally, with guidance in English from your first consultation.
As time passes, the face gradually shows signs of ageing such as laxity, wrinkles and small losses of volume. Together, these changes can alter facial proportions and create a tired appearance.
Facial lipofilling can address these changes within a personalised facial surgery plan. Fat is taken from another area of your body, carefully prepared and transferred to selected facial areas to restore volume and harmony.
The aim is to improve visible signs of ageing by filling and reshaping selected areas with your own fat. The result should look natural, balanced and consistent with your facial identity.
Facial fat transfer may restore volume around the eyes, mouth and cheekbones, soften expression lines and wrinkles, and improve the definition of the jawline. It can also help correct asymmetry, add volume to a naturally slim face or enhance the lips.
It may be suitable if you want to restore facial volume using your own tissue rather than a synthetic filler, with subtle, natural and long-lasting results. It can also complement a facelift or combine the removal of unwanted fat with facial volume restoration in one operation.
If you smoke, you will need to stop at least one month before and after surgery. This is especially important in fat transfer because smoking can compromise blood supply and increase the risk of fat necrosis.
Yes. Facial lipofilling can be combined with a facelift, chin surgery, buccal fat removal or selected body procedures when medically appropriate. Liposuction is always part of the treatment because it is required to harvest the fat.
You can usually return to calm daily activities almost immediately. If your work involves meeting the public, allowing approximately one week is advisable; people who work privately may feel comfortable returning sooner.
Sport and more demanding physical activity are usually resumed after around three weeks, always following your surgeon's advice and your individual recovery.
The process begins with a first consultation and personalised assessment. A second appointment covers the pre-anaesthetic assessment together with an anatomical and photographic study. Surgery is followed by scheduled post-operative reviews.
The result can be permanent or very long-lasting. When body weight remains stable, the fat that successfully integrates can last for many years and generally provides a more durable result than temporary fillers.
Because swelling changes during recovery and not all transferred fat survives, an occasional touch-up may be recommended to refine symmetry or volume.
Facial fat transfer is considered safe when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon in an appropriate hospital setting. As with any surgery, uncommon risks include infection, haematoma, seroma, healing problems and complications related to anaesthesia.
At MARLA CLINIC, surgery is performed at Hospital Vithas Alicante with an anaesthetist dedicated to the patient. Careful technique, following all instructions and attending follow-up appointments help reduce risk and support recovery.
The price is personalised because it depends on the areas treated and the individual surgical plan. The final quote is provided after your first consultation. An online assessment may provide an initial estimate, and financing options are available.
