Macrofat
Your Specialists for Macrofat Treatment
Loss of volume and unbalanced contours can impact the silhouette—for example, in the breasts or buttocks after weight changes or due to aging processes. Many people wish for visible yet natural enhancement of curves and projections—without relying on foreign materials.
The so-called Macrofat Treatment offers an effective solution. In this procedure, larger fat particles (minimum 3 mm) – referred to as macrofat – are injected into the desired regions as part of lipofilling to build volume precisely. The fat is gently harvested from other body areas and specially processed before transplantation.
At clinic utoquai in Zurich, every step is tailored to your needs—from selecting donor areas to determining injection depth and volume. Our goal is naturally-looking, long-lasting results achieved with minimally invasive techniques.
Benefits of Macrofat Treatment
Macrofat treatment facilitates natural-looking volume enhancement that is precisely targeted to achieve harmonious contours.
- Natural volume:
Using your own fat as filler provides visible enhancement for areas like the breasts or buttocks without the feel of foreign material.
- Contour definition:
Projections and transitions can be precisely designed to create a balanced, harmonious silhouette.
- High compatibility:
Since no implants or foreign materials are used, the treatment is highly compatible and offers a soft, natural feel.
- Long-lasting results:
A significant portion of the transplanted fat integrates for lasting volume; adjustments may be planned as needed.
- Quick recovery:
Small incision sites and minimally invasive techniques result in shorter recovery periods.

Procedure for Macrofat Treatment
Consultation
An in-depth consultation is the first step. We’ll discuss your goals, realistic outcomes, and analyze proportions and tissue quality. You’ll receive a customized treatment plan that includes detailed aftercare instructions.
Preparation
Two weeks before the procedure, avoid taking blood-thinning medications (but never stop without medical advice). Additionally, refrain from alcohol and nicotine. During the preparation meeting, we’ll provide concrete recommendations for optimal preparation.
Treatment
The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis—either under local anesthesia or light sedation—and takes 60–120 minutes depending on the scope. Fat tissue is harvested through small incisions, processed, and transplanted into the target areas. The injection is applied in layers to shape the contour and projection precisely.
Typically, around 50–60% of the transplanted volume integrates permanently. New techniques can support higher retention rates. Depending on the desired outcome, a second session may be useful to fine-tune the enhancement.
Aftercare
Small wound dressings can usually be removed within a few days. You’ll need to wear compression garments on the donor areas for the following weeks. Most patients return to social and professional activities after one week, but avoid sports for about 4 weeks. The final results of the macrofat treatment stabilize over 6–9 months.
Cost of Macrofat Treatment in Zurich
