Treatment: Liposculpture & lipofilling
Effect: rejuvenated facial contours through autologous fat transfer
Due to the natural ageing process, the fat in our face, which is responsible for firm facial skin, breaks down in certain areas. This often results in deep wrinkles. Scars from previous injuries can also become more visible as a result.
Lipofilling can be used to rejuvenate the face: Wrinkles on the face are filled with the body's own fat to improve its shape and appearance. The advantage of this method is that no synthetic, i.e. exogenous filler is used, but rather the body's own material, which is harvested elsewhere. This increases compatibility and minimises the risk of rejection by the body. In addition, the Treatment with autologous fat a long-lasting result.
You are welcome to make an appointment for a free and non-binding initial consultation with one of our doctors agree.
During this consultation, you will be informed about the technique, the opportunities and possible risks and complications. We will also get an idea of your general state of health and your medical history in order to decide whether this treatment is suitable for you.
If you decide in favour of lipofilling, three steps follow:
You can go home just a few hours after lipofilling. You will be given small plasters at the site where the fat was removed.
Some fluid may leak from these wounds for up to a day after treatment. This is normal and nothing to worry about.
There may be bruising where the fat has been suctioned out. There is also a risk of swelling, which can last for several days to weeks.
General complications that can occur after any operation include bleeding, infection of the wound or wound healing disorders, numbness, allergic reactions and Thrombosis.
However, these occur extremely rarely after lipofilling.
In exceptional cases, an accumulation of fluid may form, but this usually resolves spontaneously. If the result is not completely symmetrical, this can be corrected with a further minor procedure.
The results of lipofilling are visible after just a few days and last for several years. The volume of your face is improved, Wrinkles are reduced and your skin is better supplied with blood.
In some cases, the results of the treatment can even be permanent - especially if you lead a healthy lifestyle. In general, weight gain or loss or smoking can influence the duration of the result.
We have compiled a list of frequently asked questions about lipofilling for you here. Below the questions are short, concise answers for you.
The lipofilling treatment counteracts the natural ageing process. With age, the skin loses elasticity and wrinkles appear. A reduction in subcutaneous fatty tissue results in thinner skin. In lipofilling, autologous fat is used to inject wrinkles. Examples of suitable areas are the face, lips and hands.
A consultation takes place before the treatment. Your general state of health and medical background will be discussed here. The doctor will then decide whether you are suitable for treatment. During the consultation, you should give a detailed account of your medication use.
The lipofilling treatment can be successfully applied to the buttocks, calves and ankles. The face and hands can also be treated. The treatment is carried out with autologous fat and rejection of the tissue by your body is therefore ruled out.
You will be allowed to leave the clinic shortly after the treatment. Plasters will be applied to the treated areas. Some anaesthetic fluid may still leak out on the day of treatment. There may be slight bruising and swelling in the treated areas. This will disappear on its own within a few days or weeks.
Thanks to the lipofilling treatment, the facial volume is replenished. Wrinkles are reduced and the skin is better supplied with blood. The results of the treatment are visible after just a few days. The results will last for several years or even permanently. The exact duration depends heavily on your lifestyle. For example, smoking, alcohol consumption and weight fluctuations influence the duration of the results achieved.
Do you smoke? You should stop smoking at least 6 weeks before your lipofilling treatment. This will benefit your health. In addition, the condition of your skin will improve and transplanted fat cells will have a better chance of growing in. The risk of a possible infection is also reduced. Avoid stress and stay as relaxed as possible on the day of treatment. If you are in good condition, recovery after the procedure will be quicker.
You should avoid strenuous activity after the treatment. In addition, you should not subject the treated area to strong pressure. You should wait 6 weeks before massaging the treated area. Smoking is also not recommended.
The lipofilling treatment is carried out using local anaesthetics. You will not feel anything from the treatment itself. After the procedure, you may feel some pain and slight pressure in the treated area. Bruising and slight swelling are normal symptoms after lipofilling treatment. Occasionally there is an accumulation of fluid. This usually disappears within two to six weeks after the treatment. Areas where fat has been removed can be more painful than areas where fat has been injected. You can take painkillers to reduce the pain.
Over the course of a lifetime, the skin on the face ages and the lips and cheeks lose volume. Lipofilling treatment compensates for the loss of volume and gives you a fresher appearance. By using your own fat, there is no risk of rejection by the body. The procedure leaves virtually no scars. In addition, certain growth factors from the fatty tissue have a positive influence on skin quality.
The treatment can be perceived as relatively drastic. The fatty tissue must first be removed from one area of your body and then injected again. The treated areas must also be locally anaesthetised. This can lead to temporary, visible swelling. Every cosmetic procedure harbours the potential for risks and complications.
The lipofilling treatment is performed under local anaesthetic. A general anaesthetic is never used.
As a rule, fatty tissue is removed from the area around the knees and/or thighs. The treatment begins with a local anaesthetic. A liquid is injected into the area to be treated, which prevents blood from being sucked out. The fat is then suctioned out. The removed fatty tissue is purified using lipid apheresis and the dose is reduced. Finally, several injections are made into the desired area.
Depending on the extent of the procedure, a lipofilling treatment takes an average of 1 to 2 hours. You can leave the clinic a few hours after the treatment and recover at home.
Alternative treatment methods for firmer skin include Botox and filler treatments.
The final result of the lipofilling treatment cannot be seen immediately after the procedure. Initially, your skin will be swollen and the amount of stored fat cells will decrease in the first period after the treatment. The swelling and discolouration will disappear within a few weeks after the procedure. It takes several months to achieve the final result. Give your body time to recover from the treatment. The results are permanent. It goes without saying that lipofilling treatment cannot stop the natural ageing process.
The Acura medical centre uses a fixed price for a complete lipofilling treatment. The procedure uses autologous fat to rejuvenate the facial skin. The cost is €1,795.
Lipofilling gives your face a fresher appearance. Your cheeks or another desired area will be given more volume. Your facial expression will not change and you will retain your natural look. During the consultation, we will explain what you can expect from the end result. You should be aware that lipofilling does not stop the natural ageing process. You can decide to have further treatment at a later date.
The number of national and international beauty clinics is large. Making a choice is not easy. The Acura Medical Centre is known for its excellent quality and high customer satisfaction. You will have no communication problems at our clinic. In addition, our locations are easy to reach by public and private transport. For a successful treatment, it is important that you feel welcome and understood. For this reason, most people decide against treatment in Turkey.
The doctor will explain the recovery process to you during the consultation. You should take it easy for the first two weeks after the operation. After two weeks, you will be able to resume most of your normal activities. However, you should not make any great efforts or engage in any intensive sport. After about six weeks, you will be able to do everything normally again.
Despite the fact that complications are rare, every cosmetic procedure is associated with certain risks. With lipofilling treatment, there is a risk of bleeding, numbness, infection, thrombosis, allergic reactions and poor wound healing. It is very rare for fluid to accumulate. This then disappears automatically. Occasionally the result is not completely symmetrical. Is this the case for you? The difference can be corrected with a small correction.
You should relax on the day of the treatment. Your body needs time to recover from the procedure. You can take a gentle shower the day after the operation. You should avoid bathing and saunas for the first 6 weeks after the operation.
The way in which fat is stored differs between the sexes. In men, fat is mainly stored in the abdomen and deep in the muscles. Women have a more superficial storage in the muscles. The lipofilling treatment is performed above the muscles. The result is therefore more pronounced in men. Existing lifebuoys are well suited for lipofilling treatment.
The scars after lipofilling treatment are usually very small. The average size is around 0.5 centimetres. During the procedure, the doctor will do everything possible to hide the scars as much as possible. Immediately after the treatment, the scars are still reddish and slightly swollen. These symptoms disappear in the first few weeks after the procedure. A fresh scar often requires a longer recovery period. You should expect a period of up to one year. After that, you can consider using a scar cream. In addition, you should always protect scars well from the sun.
Cosmetic procedures are often expensive. Reimbursement by health insurance is not a matter of course. Would you like to pay for your lipofilling treatment in instalments? To make this possible, the Acura Medical Centre works together with a credit provider. You are welcome to contact us for further information.
After the treatment, the transplanted fat cells grow into the surrounding tissue. A minimal percentage of the transplanted fat cells do not take root. This limits both the amount of fat that can be transplanted per treatment and the increase in volume. You may be satisfied after just one treatment,
but you may need 2 or 3 treatments before the desired volume is achieved.
Lipofilling is a commonly used cosmetic treatment that is considered relatively safe. Of course, every medical treatment harbours a certain risk of side effects and complications. You should therefore have the lipofilling treatment performed by an experienced doctor. Temporary reactions such as bruising, swelling and sensitive skin disappear within a few days after the treatment.
This will be discussed with you during the consultation. The amount of fatty tissue depends on the size of the area to be filled as well as your wishes and expectations. For example, a few millilitres are sufficient for the face, while a larger amount is required for treatment of the buttocks and/or breasts.
Yes, lipofilling is suitable for limited breast augmentation. The results look natural. The treatment is also known as breast augmentation with autologous fat.
The results of lipofilling treatment are generally permanent. However, it is not possible to determine in advance what percentage of the transplanted fat cells will survive. The normal ageing process is not stopped by lipofilling treatment and continues even after the treatment. Large fluctuations in weight also influence the results of the treatment. We recommend a healthy and conscious lifestyle.
For a successful outcome of the lipofilling treatment, you should wear compression garments shortly after the treatment and during recovery. The doctor treating you will contact you about this. You are free to decide what you want to wear and where to buy it. There are several online shops with a large selection. You should buy at least two items so that you can wash your clothing regularly.
Lipofilling has several advantages over implants. With lipofilling, excess fatty tissue is removed from problem areas such as the abdomen, thighs and hips. Precisely because lipofilling uses the body's own material, the risk of side effects is extremely low. With implants, there is always a risk of an allergic reaction to the material used. The results can also look unnatural. Lipofilling is a safe alternative.
Give your body enough time to recover from the procedure. Limit your alcohol consumption in the first 24 to 48 hours after the procedure to avoid a higher risk of unpleasant side effects and complications.
A recovering body depends on good blood circulation. It is known that smoking has a negative effect on blood circulation. You should therefore stop smoking a few weeks before the treatment and continue to refrain from smoking for a few weeks after the treatment. Smoking increases the risk of infection and accelerates the ageing process of the skin.
Lipofilling can be a small part of a comprehensive cosmetic treatment. The treatment is increasingly seen as a so-called "finishing touch" to classic treatments. Lipofilling can be combined with a mini-lift, a MACS lift, a Eyelid correctionan eyebrow lift, as well as a nose or chin correction. Depending on your wishes and expectations, the doctor will suggest a combination of treatments for an optimal result.
Depending on the type of medication, it may affect treatment and healing. To avoid complications, you will be asked about possible medications during the consultation. It is best to take the packaging of the medication with you to the consultation. The doctor will give you instructions on the correct application before treatment. Blood-thinning medication in particular regularly causes problems during and after the operation. In this case, you must stop taking them a few days before the planned lipofilling treatment. The doctor will let you know when you can resume taking your medication as normal.

Breasts augmented with autologous fat
I used to have small breasts, but I was happy with the shape. They were nice, round and didn't sag. Unfortunately, this changed considerably after my pregnancy. I gained 20 kilograms and my breasts became more than 2 cups bigger. At first I was happy with this, but after a year of breastfeeding my breasts didn't get any nicer. It took a while before I was able to stop breastfeeding. Unfortunately, the shape of my breasts didn't change. My husband could see my dissatisfaction and started to look for a solution together with me. Breast augmentation without silicone seemed to be a suitable solution. We searched online for breast augmentation with autologous fat. We quickly came across the Acura Clinic. The before and after pictures really appealed to me. Together with my husband, I went to the clinic for a consultation. The doctor checked whether I had enough excess fatty tissue for the treatment. This turned out to be positive. It has now been 3 months since the treatment and I am very happy with it. I have a large part of the lost volume back. I think the result is even better than many of the before and after pictures I have seen. I can now enjoy life with my daughter and have beautiful breasts.

Reusing my own fat for my buttocks
In my opinion, lipofilling treatment is one of the most beautiful developments of recent decades. Excess fat can be removed and replaced in the desired areas. I have had fat tissue removed from my thighs and stomach and my buttocks filled out with it. I have never liked my stomach, nor my fat thighs. The fat in these areas proved to be very suitable for filling out my buttocks. My physique has always been a bit more like a tummy and thighs and a small bum. The procedure itself was not too bad for me. Before the operation, everything was discussed with the doctor and the area to be treated was marked. Once that was done, I was anaesthetised in the operating theatre. I knew straight away that I was in good hands. It felt like I was only out for a few seconds. The treatment went well. I had to recover after the treatment, it is a kind of surgery after all. The treated area recovered quickly and I was able to enjoy the beautiful result within a short time. I have never had such a beautiful figure as I do now. I like the idea that my own fat was used for my buttocks. There is no more natural way to have it done.

Uniform breasts thanks to autologous fat!
It is said that there are very few women with exactly the same breasts. Many women are annoyed by the different shapes and sizes. I used to be ashamed to take my bra off in front of my friends. Even showering after sport was a pain. Somehow I always had something against silicone and I just didn't want to do it. When I read about breast augmentation with autologous fat on the internet, I started to find out about it. It turned out that there were quite a few clinics, but that customer satisfaction and treatment costs can vary greatly. Eventually I ended up at the Acura medical centre in Weert and a clinic in Maastricht. I visited both clinics and was informed about the possibilities. Both clinics proved to be professional and reliable. However, I had a slightly better feeling about the Acura clinic. In addition, the Acura clinic was considerably cheaper, which was of course not unimportant. The doctor turned out to be very experienced. For these reasons, I decided in favour of the clinic in Weert. The treatment itself was very exciting. Fortunately, I was calm during the treatment day and everything went according to my wishes. The most important thing for me was the result. The doctor had said that the result would not be visible immediately and that it could take several months for the final result to be fully achieved. I waited patiently and my breasts got bigger and bigger during the recovery period. I am very happy with the result. Do you have uneven breasts or would you simply like to have larger breasts? Then breast augmentation with lipofilling is a suitable solution.

Injecting wrinkles with autologous fat instead of fillers
I have had my wrinkles treated with fillers several times in recent years. The results are beautiful, but unfortunately they are only temporary. When I spoke to my doctor about the possibilities of a more permanent treatment, he recommended lipofilling. Here, fatty tissue is removed from one or more areas of the body and then used to inject my wrinkles. I do have some excess fat, so this was not a disadvantage for me. After consulting with my husband, I decided to have fatty tissue removed from three areas. This gave me more fatty tissue to choose from and the best could be used for the wrinkle injections. The treatment gives me a beautiful, long-lasting result and a prettier figure.

Fuller breasts thanks to lipofilling
I am now 35 and have slowly got used to travelling to the clinic for an injection treatment every now and then. Usually for fuller lips or for a wrinkle treatment. I read about lipofilling in the Acura medical centre newsletter and immediately became interested. Two years ago I gave birth to my second son. Children are wonderful, but a lot of stress for the body. I gained more than 25kg during my pregnancy. My breasts also grew by 2 cup sizes. Before the 2 pregnancies I had beautiful and round breasts. Two pregnancies later, they started to sag. During the second pregnancy, I discussed with my husband that I would have something done to my breasts. At first I thought about a breast augmentation with silicone, but in the end I liked breast augmentation with autologous fat more. Of course, a pleasant advantage is that I can have my excess fat removed at the same time. It is difficult to get rid of fat after pregnancy. During one of my injection treatments, I enquired about the possibilities of a lipofilling treatment for the breasts. The result of the treatment is really fantastic. My breasts are perhaps even more beautiful than before my pregnancies. Excess fat on my stomach and thighs was removed and inserted into my breasts in a beautiful shape.

If in doubt, decide in favour.
I'm actually a big sceptic about everything. Whether it's a holiday, buying clothes or other decisions. I owe it to a friend who dragged me along back then that I decided to go for treatment. This friend wanted to do something about her wrinkles, so we decided to have a consultation together. It was a pleasant conversation. During the consultation, we discussed the various options for combating wrinkles. My friend was quickly convinced that lipofilling was the best option for her. I wondered whether this was also possible for me. It turned out that it was also possible for me and we immediately planned a treatment for both of us on the same day. We were in no hurry and planned the treatment in a month's time, just before the weekend. The procedure itself was not as bad for my girlfriend as it was for me. The recovery was quite quick. It was good that we were able to help each other. We now go out on the town together much more often and feel much more confident. Now we both want to meet a new man! Because I was so happy with the result, I have now also planned a correction of my eyelids. But that's the end of it, otherwise it will never end!

Lipofilling of the breasts, finally equal breasts.
Pretty soon after puberty, I felt insecure about my breasts. Apart from the fact that I thought they were too small, they weren't uniform at all. I didn't like the idea of surgery. After all, a normal breast augmentation involves inserting something foreign into the body. That's why I was interested in breast augmentation with autologous fat, also known as lipofilling. I decided to have fat removed from my hips and thighs and have it inserted into my breasts. The result is really fantastic. I am almost 2 cup sizes bigger in one breast and one in the other, so they are now almost the same. I find the shape of my breasts much nicer now. The treatment is highly recommended for people who don't want silicone breast augmentation.
Maltie
Autologous fat for breast augmentation
What a fantastic invention! Removing fat in one place and putting it back in another, such as the breasts. I had a lot of fatty tissue on my legs and buttocks. Some of this fat was used to augment my breasts. Now my breasts are fuller and slightly lifted. So two for one! I am very happy that this is possible and I am also very pleased with the result. The team at the Acura medical centre is very friendly and professional. I was always able to speak to them in a pleasant manner during and after the treatment.
Inge
A cup size bigger with a little fat
I am quite petite by nature. In general, it's nice because you look slim, but sometimes it's less nice, for example with small breasts. I used to think about breast augmentation, but I never wanted to add something unnatural to my body. You often hear bad reports about inflammation after breast augmentation with silicone. That's why I decided against silicone for breast augmentation. When I heard about breast augmentation with autologous fat from friends, I started to find out about it. Most of the photos and videos showed fuller women. I doubted that I had enough fat left over for the treatment. That's why I first discussed my options during a consultation. The consultation was very professional and went well. My wishes were discussed and proved to be feasible. It was necessary to remove fat from 3 areas in order to be able to put the desired amount back into the breasts. Thanks to the silicone-free breast augmentation, my breasts really have tripled in size. I finally feel comfortable in my body again!

Beautiful breasts again after pregnancy
Every woman knows that you don't always recover perfectly from pregnancy. However, I didn't expect it to be such an assault on my body and appearance. During my pregnancy, I quickly suffered from pelvic instability. Because of this, I was unable to continue exercising, which I had always enjoyed doing. As a result, I gained almost 30 kilos during my pregnancy. Fortunately, the birth went well, but due to the instability of the pelvic area, recovery took a very long time. It took me about a year to get back on my feet. It took another year before I had lost most of my weight again. Immediately after the birth, I was about 8 kilos lighter. Losing the rest of the weight took a long time. I accepted that I wouldn't be as slim as I was before the birth. I have now lost 25 kilos since the birth. The weight gain and later the weight loss didn't make my breasts any prettier. A year after I stopped breastfeeding, I decided to have a breast augmentation with autologous fat. Thanks to the treatment, I am much happier with my breasts again. In addition, fat was removed from 2 areas, so I have almost the same figure as before my pregnancy. Okay, I no longer have the body of a 20-year-old, but for my age I'm pretty fit (again). I'm finally a happy mum again who feels good in her skin!
Willemijn
Brazilian buttock and breast augmentation combined with autologous fat
I like full breasts and a big bum. Everything is already quite big on me, but I didn't think the proportion was right. I also had some excess fat on my stomach and other areas that I would rather have on my breasts and bum. I first looked online for clinics with a lot of experience with both treatments. I also wanted the clinic to be affordable and have lots of positive customer reviews. I came across the Acura medical centre. During the consultation, I was told that I could combine the two treatments mentioned above. They looked at how much fat could be removed and how much fat could be injected into my buttocks and breasts. I was also told what kind of result I could expect. Fortunately, this was in line with my wishes. So I scheduled a treatment shortly afterwards. The enlargement of my breasts and buttocks looks particularly beautiful and my stomach and thighs have also become slimmer.

One cup size more was enough for a more self-confident feeling.
Personally, I think some women overdo it when they have their breasts enlarged. For me, it is important that the bust looks nice and feminine in a tight jumper. Before the breast augmentation, I had a small B cup. Many jumpers and bras didn't fit well. I don't have much fat on the rest of my body. By removing fat from 2 areas, enough fat could be collected to perform the breast augmentation. I decided to put in as much fat as possible in one treatment. About 4 months after the procedure, the final result was visible. Most of the fat that was inserted remained in place, so I am now one cup size larger. Fortunately, they still feel very natural.
Bianca
It's nice to finally have uniform breasts.
I have always been unhappy with the size of my breasts. One of my breasts hung a little more than the other and seemed to have a little less volume. I always thought that a breast implant for just one breast was a strange idea. When I heard about breast augmentation with autologous fat, I was immediately intrigued! I liked the idea that the treatment could be done with my own fat. Shortly after hearing about it, I went to the clinic in Weert for a consultation. My breasts were examined and I turned out to be a good candidate for breast augmentation with my own fat. I opted for liposuction in 2 zones. Two birds with one stone! Thanks to the breast augmentation, my breasts are now practically identical. The size and shape of both breasts are the same. Because it is such a professional clinic, I also decided to have a lip augmentation with fillers.
Marissa
Best breast augmentation clinic in the Netherlands
If you search online for experiences with lipofilling treatment or breast augmentation with autologous fat, you will find both positive and negative experiences. When you undergo a cosmetic procedure, you naturally want to have it performed in the best clinic. I, at least, attach great importance to quality. The Acura Medical Centre is the best proof that good quality doesn't always have to be expensive. My experience with lipofilling breast augmentation at this clinic has been very positive. Both the path to the treatment, the treatment itself and the time after the treatment were always satisfactory. At Acura you are dealing with a professional team and can count on a great result. For me, Acura is therefore the best breast augmentation clinic in the Netherlands.
Franka
In a word, super!
When I heard from a friend that it was possible to remove fat and add it to the breasts, I immediately made an appointment for a consultation at 3 clinics. It was a lot of travelling to visit three clinics, but I wanted to hear different opinions. This way it is easier to compare both the clinic and the consultation. I received almost the same advice at all 3 clinics. However, the prices at the Acura medical centre were the most appealing. However, the price of the treatment is not the most important thing for me. In my opinion, quality is the most important thing. Because my feeling about the quality at this clinic in Weert was very good and there were many positive experiences on the internet, I went for treatment here. I am glad that I followed my feelings, because the treatment went well and the result is as expected. Both the shape of my breasts and their size have improved. Two other friends are now going to do the same.

Enlargement of the breasts through lipofilling
Why don't all people have the same breasts? That's something I've often wondered about. They come in all shapes and sizes. Unfortunately, I don't have the breasts I want. I would be happy with a C cup. Unfortunately, I have to deal with less. That sometimes makes me feel insecure. For example, when I wear tight tops, at the beach or when I go to the pool. Apart from the fact that breast augmentation is a big investment, I also have something against the insertion of non-autologous substances. That's why I decided against breast augmentation with implants. Breast augmentation with autologous fat, on the other hand, was very appealing to me. There is a lot of information online about breast augmentation with your own fat. The results can vary greatly per clinic. My preference was for an experienced clinic where many good experiences had already been made. That's why I opted for the Acura Medical Centre. Thanks to the treatment, I finally have the C cup that I have been longing for so long.

Breasts a whole cup size larger without an actual operation
When I was young, I was one of the first girls in class to get breasts. Unfortunately, this growth soon stagnated and I watched as all the other girls overtook me in no time. When I turned 18, I considered breast augmentation. However, I was not in a position to have something foreign operated on my body. The treatment was getting safer and safer, but somehow I remained scared. When I heard about breast augmentation with my own fat, I immediately became curious. This was something for me! I had enough areas where a little fat could be removed. During the consultation, we first discussed where I would like to have fat removed. In addition, agreements were made about the amount of fat to be reintroduced. My goal was to get one cup size larger and to improve the shape of my breasts. My breasts have increased by more than one cup size as a result of the procedure. This is somewhat dependent on the bra. I'm really happy with the result. If this had been available earlier and I had known about it, I would have had it done at the age of 18. I feel like a completely different person!
