Chin and jaw augmentation with its own fat
| Chin and jaw lipofilling
English subtitled video
The chin augmentation operation using your own fat is technically known as chin lipofilling. It is a surgical procedure that we perform at Clínica Sanza in Barcelona. It consists of performing a small liposuction of an area where the patient has excess fat (usually the abdominal area or legs), we process it to purify it and then infiltrate it into the desired area.
It is not usually the first choice for jaw enhancement.
It is an alternative to chin and jaw fillers with biocompatible substances or chin and jaw augmentation with prostheses.
WHERE DO WE OPERATE?
At Clínica Sanza we rely on the Sagrat Cor Hospital, part of the Quirónsalud group, to perform our surgical procedures.
Its prestige, facilities, medical and healthcare staff, as well as its technology are a guarantee.
