Body’s fat itself is an excellent natural filling material. The collagen and fat injections to fill and correct details produced by aging, was discovered by Dr. Pierre Fournier and after many years, his technique has high expectations on every single patient.

To obtain the fat tissue local anaesthesia is used in the donating area, which might be the waist or the buttock area and its extracted with a syringe. After this, the fat is processed and injected in the desired area.

It is used also in facial treatments to eliminate premature aging effects. Also can be used to improve depressions caused by acne scars or chicken pox. The fat injection is relatively permanent, but in some cases it is required a maintenance program.

On lipoplastys, when the fat extraction is performed, this can be processed and injected to another part of the body.
