Arm and Chest Lipofilling
Arm and Chest Lipofilling
- Excessively visible masculine features in the shoulders and chest (angular contours, sharp transitions between structures)
- Dysphoria related to the structure of the shoulder girdle
- The desire to achieve a softer, more feminine chest shape
- Insufficient effects of hormonal feminizing therapy
- As a supplement to breast augmentation (e.g., filling the upper pole or cleavage)
- Very low body fat content (no place to harvest)
- Uncontrolled systemic diseases (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, heart disease)
- Blood clotting disorders
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding
- Active infection or inflammation of the skin
- Tendency to develop fatty cysts or fatty necrosis
Preparation for the procedure:
Surgical consultation, qualification taking into account skin condition and fat distribution
Stop taking anticoagulant medication 7 days before the procedure (after consultation).
On the day of the procedure: skin clean, free of makeup and lotions
Do not smoke cigarettes for at least 2 weeks before the procedure.
The course of the procedure
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia by a plastic surgery specialist.
The incisions are made in natural skin creases – in front of and behind the ear, sometimes with an additional incision under the chin (in cases of advanced neck sagging).
The SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer is precisely tightened and lifted.
Excess skin is removed and the incision lines are closed with great care to ensure aesthetic scarring.
The whole process usually takes about 2–3 hours.
The patient remains under the care of the clinic – usually 1 day of hospitalization.
Recovery and post-treatment recommendations:
Swelling and bruising are natural and will subside within 2–4 weeks.
It is recommended to sleep with your head elevated for the first few days.
Dressings and sutures cared for according to the doctor's recommendations
Sutures are usually removed after 7–14 days.
Avoid strenuous physical activity and bending over for at least 4–6 weeks.
No sunbathing or solarium use for at least 6 months – SPF 50 protection required
Once fully healed, scar massage and preparations to aid scar maturation may be introduced, as recommended by your doctor.
