Lipofilling 

Reinjection of the patient’s own fat (for example when undergoing liposuction) is used to restore volume to the cheeks and cheekbones or to correct cutaneous indentations or very deep lines or cracks and can also used for giving greater volume to the lips. This procedure can be used to reconstruct a face that has marked signs of ageing with tissue laxness tissues or the reshaping of hands where the skin appears withered.
