Facial sagging is sometimes accompanied by a loss of volume, particularly in the cheeks and temples, but also in the lips. Lipofilling, also known as autologous fat injection or fat transfer, can gently improve this situation.
In this procedure, the body's own fat is taken from suitable areas, carefully processed, and specifically used to restore lost volume and emphasize natural facial contours. Breast augmentation with autologous fat is also possible.
At corrigé luzern, the treatment is performed in a modern medical environment with the highest precision and a clear focus on natural-looking results.
When does Lipofilling of the face make sense?
Lipofilling is an excellent way to achieve various aesthetic desires:
- Facial corrections, for gentle plumping of the cheeks, lip augmentation, or refreshing the eye area
- Discreet volume building with a slight lifting effect and improvement of skin quality, especially with age-related volume loss
- Combination procedures where fat is taken from areas such as the abdomen or thighs and specifically reused
- Breast lift or breast augmentation with autologous fat
Lipofilling is a surgical technique that is also used for treating other issues:
-
Scar revisions
The procedure leaves only minimal puncture sites and leads to a natural-looking result.
The Procedure – Your Lipofilling Lucerne
A lipofilling procedure usually takes 1 to 2 hours and is performed – depending on the extent – under local anesthesia or twilight sleep. Especially for facial treatments, fat is often taken from the thighs or legs. The donor sites are chosen so that the fine scars are barely visible later, e.g., in skin folds or hidden areas.
The harvested autologous fat is carefully processed and then injected into the desired areas. Lipofilling can often be combined with other procedures, such as an eyelid lift, a facelift, or liposuction in other body regions. In such cases, the procedure can also be performed under general anesthesia.
After the treatment, you will wear light compression clothing (e.g., pants or a belt) for a few days to stabilize the result.
In the first few days, the following applies:
- No sports for about a week
- Rest and light physical activity
- No direct sun exposure to the treated areas
The final result becomes visible after about 4 to 6 months, when the swelling has completely subsided and the transplanted fatty tissue has been well integrated by the body. The advantage: the autologous fat remains permanently.

Frequently Asked Questions about Lipofilling in Lucerne
Many patients intensively research this topic before making a decision. That's a good thing, as lipofilling is a personal step where trust, information, and medical quality are crucial.
Below, we answer frequently asked questions that may be helpful for you:
A lipofilling procedure typically lasts between 1 and 2 hours, depending on the extent of the treatment and possible combinations with other procedures, such as a facelift or an eyelid lift. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia or twilight sleep; for larger treatments or combinations, general anesthesia may also be appropriate.
The body's own fat is gently removed through liposuction, most often from the thighs or legs, processed, and then injected into targeted facial areas such as the cheeks, lips, or eye region to compensate for volume loss and harmonize facial contours.
Breast augmentation with autologous fat is also possible.
After a lipofilling, only very small scars are to be expected at the donor sites, most often on the thighs or legs. These fine skin incisions are made to lie in natural skin folds and become almost invisible over time.
The autologous fat is injected into the face or lips using thin cannulas, so no visible scars are typically created. Only small puncture marks, which heal quickly, are possible.
Consistent aftercare and skin care further support healing and help to optimally maintain the aesthetic result.
After lipofilling, only a short recovery time is generally required. In the first few days, there may be swelling or bruising at the treated and donor sites, but these usually subside quickly.
Those with a non-physically demanding job can typically return to work after about one week.
For professions with physical exertion, such as in the nursing sector, trades, or sports, a break of 2 to 4 weeks is recommended, depending on the individual healing process. During this time, intensive sports, heavy lifting, and direct sun exposure on the treated areas should be avoided.
Yes, absolutely!
A major advantage of lipofilling is that the transplanted autologous fat is permanently integrated into the body's own tissue. However, in the first few weeks, the body breaks down some of the injected fat, which is why a bit more volume is usually injected to ensure the desired long-term result. The remaining fat stays stable and provides a natural, soft result that harmoniously blends into the existing structures.
The costs for a lipofilling start from CHF 3,800. The exact price depends on the scope of the treatment, the desired region, and a possible combination with other procedures. The amount of autologous fat needed can also influence the cost.
You will receive a binding cost estimate during a personal consultation with Dr. med. Eva Rüegg, in which your wishes, the medical possibilities, and the ideal treatment path will be discussed individually.
As this is an aesthetic procedure, the costs are generally not covered by health insurance. Our clinic places great value on a clear, transparent price structure with no hidden additional costs.
The corrigé luzern clinic stands for the highest safety standards and medical excellence. Under the direction of Dr. med. Eva Rüegg, an experienced specialist in Plastic Surgery, you benefit from the most modern treatments and procedures in the field of correction and volume building.
