At the same time, there is often a desire for a sustainable method that not only increases volume but also promotes the body\u2019s natural regeneration.<\/p>\n<p>This is where fat grafting, also known as lipofilling, comes into play.

The goal of this method is to improve skin quality and support regenerative processes. Processed fat is injected into precise skin layers using fine cannulas. This treatment is especially effective for dark circles, scars, and pigmented skin areas.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h4\">Microfat-\/SNIF Treatment<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicutoquai.ch\/en\/surgery\/fat-grafting\/microfat-snif\/\">Microfat-\/SNIF Treatment<\/a> uses tiny fat particles (&lt; 1 mm) for subtle volume adjustments. This method is particularly applied to sensitive areas, such as the face, hands, or d\u00e9collet\u00e9. In addition to volume correction, the SNIF technique smoothens superficial wrinkles and improves skin quality over the long term.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h4\">Macrofat Treatment<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicutoquai.ch\/en\/surgery\/fat-grafting\/macrofat\/\">Macrofat Treatment<\/a> is ideal for more extensive volume corrections. Larger fat particles are harvested using specialized cannulas\u2014optimal for procedures like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicutoquai.ch\/en\/surgery\/breast\/breast-augmentation-with-autologous-fat\/\">breast augmentation with fat<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicutoquai.ch\/en\/surgery\/body\/buttock-remodeling\/buttock-augmentation-with-fat-transplantation\/\">buttock augmentation with fat (Brazilian Butt Lift)<\/a>.

We analyze your physical condition to determine where fat can be harvested and which fat grafting method is suitable for you.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h4\">Preparation<\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019ll explain in detail how to prepare for the treatment. It is recommended to avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and nicotine approximately two weeks before the procedure to optimize the healing process.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h4\">Treatment<\/h3>\n<p>Fat harvesting (liposuction) is performed either under local anesthesia or light general anesthesia, depending on the chosen method. Once harvested, the fat is processed to purify the fat cells and prepare them for injection. The processed fat is then carefully injected into the desired areas for precise volume enhancement.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h4\">Aftercare<\/h3>\n<p>After the procedure, mild swelling or bruising may occur in the donor and recipient areas. You should avoid physical strain and tight clothing in the first few weeks to aid the healing process.<br \/>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><h2 class=\"accordion-header\">Cost of Fat Grafting in Zurich<\/h2><div class=\"accordion-content\"><\/p>\n<p>The cost of fat grafting depends on the scope of the treatment and the targeted body area.
