Autologous Fat Transfer
Natural Volume Through the Body's Own Tissue

Many women and men desire more volume in certain areas while wanting to reduce small fat deposits in others. Autologous fat transfer at the MEDICAL ART clinic in Munich Bogenhausen combines both: we gently contour body regions such as the face, breasts, or buttocks with your own tissue.

The Problem

Missing Volume and Unwanted Deposits

The body does not always distribute fat tissue the way we would wish from an aesthetic perspective. Over time, volume can be lost in the face while stubborn pads form at the hips or abdomen.

  • Volume Loss in the Face: Hollow cheeks, sunken temples, or deep dark circles often make the face look tired and older.
  • Desire for Fuller Contours: Many desire subtly fuller breasts or a more harmonious buttock shape but wish to avoid foreign bodies (implants).
  • Unwanted Pads: Despite exercise and good nutrition, small fat deposits at the abdomen, hips, or thighs often stubbornly persist.

The solution often lies in redistribution: through the transfer of the body's own fat tissue (lipofilling), both aspects can be treated in a single, natural procedure.

The Medical Solution

Contouring with the Body's Own Resource

In autologous fat transfer, we use the most valuable resource: your own body. Instead of using synthetic fillers or silicone implants, we harvest the body's own fat where it is in excess, prepare it sterilely, and inject it precisely into the desired areas.

Since it is the body's own tissue, a large proportion of the transferred fat cells take root at the new location and are permanently integrated into the blood supply. The result feels completely natural and moves like real tissue.

Your Advantages

Why Autologous Fat at MEDICAL ART?

No Foreign Bodies

Allergic reactions or rejections are virtually excluded, as we exclusively use your own tissue.

Dual Effect

While one region (e.g., the face) is gently padded, another region (e.g., the abdomen) is contoured.

Stem Cell Boost

The transferred fat tissue contains stem cells that often contribute to a significant, long-term improvement in skin quality.

Long-Lasting Result

Unlike many fillers, the successfully established fat tissue generally remains permanently.

Transparency in Surgical Procedures

Autologous fat transfers for purely aesthetic reasons are private services billed according to the medical fee schedule (GOÄ). They are not reimbursed by health insurers.

Since the effort varies considerably depending on the harvesting and target region, we prepare a precise cost plan for you after the examination.

Costs & Reimbursement

Your Investment Framework

The costs are composed of liposuction (harvesting), preparation, and re-injection.

  • Lipofilling of the face is less elaborate than a large-scale build-up of breasts or buttocks.
  • Through our billing partner, we offer you the option of financing the procedure in convenient instalments.
Process

From Harvesting to Injection

01

The Harvesting (Liposuction)

With a gentle, often water-jet assisted technique (WAL), we harvest the fat tissue from the previously discussed site (e.g., abdomen or thighs).

02

The Preparation

The harvested material is immediately sterilely filtered and centrifuged to isolate vital, intact fat cells.

03

The Transplantation

With very fine cannulas, the prepared fat tissue is injected in a fan-shaped pattern into the target area to optimally place it for contouring.

Will I Have Large Scars?

No. For both the harvesting and the injection of fat, we only need millimetre-small punctures. These generally heal very inconspicuously and usually leave only tiny, barely visible dots.

Frequently Asked Questions

A portion of the transferred fat (approximately 30 to 50 percent) is broken down by the body again in the first weeks. However, the cells that successfully connect to the blood vessel system remain there permanently.
To achieve the desired final volume, we already factor in the natural breakdown during the first procedure (slight overcorrection). For larger volume wishes (e.g., breast build-up), a second session after several months may be sensible.
Small volume transfers (such as to the face) can be easily performed under local anaesthesia or twilight sedation. For larger procedures (breasts/buttocks), we often recommend gentle general anaesthesia for your maximum comfort.
