Lipoderma™ Fat Injections
Lipoderma™ Fat Injections in El Paso, TX
Fat loss is a natural part of aging, often leaving you with hollows under your eyes, a lack of youthful contour in your cheeks, and visible bones and tendons in your hands. For years, injectable dermal fillers have been used to restore volume and smooth wrinkles; however, the majority of these products rely on synthetic materials that eventually dissolve. Lipoderma™ represents a new generation of volume restoration for the face and hands, restoring lost fat rather than simply “filling” space, and providing a more authentic and lasting choice for rejuvenation.

What Is Lipoderma™?
You’ve likely heard of fat transfer or “fat grafting,” procedures that use your own fat to enhance areas like your buttocks (as in a Brazilian Butt Lift) or your breasts (for natural augmentation without implants) by taking fat from other areas via liposuction and transferring it to the desired location. However, a downside to fat transfer in the past has been that not everyone has enough excess fat to use in the procedure, or they do not want to undergo liposuction surgery. Lipoderma™ changes that.
Lipoderma™ is a revolutionary, non-surgical advancement in fat transfer. This innovative adipose tissue allograft functions like nature’s own dermal filler—no synthetic materials required. Each vial of Lipoderma™ contains donor fat that has been meticulously purified while maintaining its structural and cellular integrity. This donor fat is then injected into targeted areas of your body to increase volume and improve contour irregularities.
Over time, these transplanted fat cells integrate seamlessly with your body, creating smooth, natural-looking, and long-lasting rejuvenation. Because Lipoderma™ is performed with no liposuction (and no surgery at all), it offers a way to achieve natural enhancement without scars or downtime. This modern aesthetic procedure allows you to enjoy the safety of natural allografts combined with the artistry of subtle contouring.
What Are the Benefits of Lipoderma™?
The primary benefit of Lipoderma™ is its ability to deliver the transformative results of fat transfer without the need for invasive surgery. Traditional fat transfer requires liposuction to harvest fat from donor areas on your body, a process that involves anesthesia, incisions, and recovery time. Lipoderma™ changes all of that.
Since it uses purified donor fat, anyone can enjoy the benefits of this natural filler, even patients who lack sufficient excess fat necessary for traditional fat transfer. It’s the perfect solution if you prefer natural options for restoring volume over synthetic fillers and want longer-lasting results.
Advantages of Lipoderma™ include:
- No incisions or scars: Since the procedure is performed using small cannulas, there are no lasting marks on your skin.
- Minimal recovery time: Most patients are able to immediately resume their regular activities.
- Suitable for small or delicate areas: Lipoderma™ can be used to treat hollows in the temples and under the eyes, restore volume in your hands, fill in acne scars or cellulite dimples, and boost your confidence with male enhancement.
- All-natural composition: No synthetic substances means less risk of allergic reactions and a more organic look and feel.
- Improved texture and smoothness: Helps refine contour irregularities and other skin texture concerns.
By rejuvenating areas where you’ve lost volume and correcting minor skin imperfections, Lipoderma™ restores a youthful softness and natural fullness to your face and hands that traditional fillers often can’t replicate.
What Can Lipoderma™ Treat?
The versatility of Lipoderma™ allows you to enhance and refine multiple areas of your body. Because the product is composed of living adipose tissue, it integrates seamlessly with your existing fat for balanced, subtle, and lasting results.
Natural Facial Rejuvenation
Lipoderma™ can restore lost volume to your cheeks, under-eye hollows, and temples, improving your facial contours and minimizing wrinkles and creases. It can also smooth acne scars and correct other skin contour irregularities for a more even, radiant complexion.
Hand Rejuvenation
As you age, the skin on the back of your hands thins, making veins appear more prominent and leaving your hands looking crepey and wrinkled. Lipoderma™ reverses these signs of aging by plumping your hands, softening the appearance of tendons and veins, and restoring a more youthful, supple appearance.
Male Enhancement
Lipoderma™ is also a safe and effective option for men seeking discreet, natural male enhancement. The treatment can boost your confidence in your size without using implants or synthetic fillers, producing a result that looks and feels authentic.
Longer-Lasting Results
Because Lipoderma™ fat is meticulously processed to ensure its viability after grafting, the transferred fat cells eventually develop their own blood supply and integrate seamlessly with the surrounding tissue, resulting in long-lasting and often permanent results.
Low Risk of Complications
Since Lipoderma™ uses purified human adipose tissue, allergic reactions are extremely rare. Your body recognizes the transferred fat as being biologically compatible, making it one of the safest options for enhancement.
How Does Lipoderma™ Compare to alloClae™?
Lipoderma™ and alloClae™ share a similar mission, as both use carefully processed donor fat to naturally restore volume. Each offers long-lasting, natural-looking enhancement; however, they are designed for slightly different applications.
Lipoderma™ comes in smaller-volume syringes, making it ideal for subtle rejuvenation in areas such as the face, hands, or penis.
alloClae™, on the other hand, is supplied in larger-volume syringes and is better suited for areas of your body that may need a more substantial boost in volume, such as the buttocks or breasts.
Southwest Plastic Surgery offers both Lipoderma™ and alloClae™, so whether you’re seeking refined facial enhancement or larger-scale body rejuvenation, Dr. Agullo will create a customized treatment plan to complement your anatomy and help you achieve your desired results.
Am I a Good Candidate for Lipoderma™?
You may be an ideal candidate for Lipoderma™ if you:
- Are in good overall health
- Are willing to maintain a stable weight (to help preserve the transferred fat)
- Want to restore volume in your face, hands, or other small areas
- Prefer a natural alternative to synthetic fillers
- Want a non-surgical treatment for volume loss and enhancement
- Desire long-lasting results with minimal downtime
When you come in for your Lipoderma™ consultation at Southwest Plastic Surgery, Dr. Agullo will evaluate your concerns and goals to help determine if Lipoderma™ is right for you.
How Is Lipoderma™ Performed?
Lipoderma™ is performed entirely without surgery. After the treatment area is numbed to ensure your comfort during the procedure, Dr. Agullo uses micro-cannulas to precisely inject droplets of purified adipose tissue beneath your skin. His advanced technique has been honed and perfected to ensure smooth, even placement for gorgeous, natural contours.
Dr. Agullo performs each Lipoderma™ injection with his characteristic artistry and precision, refined by years of experience in both surgical and non-surgical enhancement. The process usually takes less than an hour (depending on the number of areas treated), and you can typically return to your regular routine immediately after the procedure.
What Is Recovery Like After Lipoderma™?
Recovery after Lipoderma™ is minimal. You may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising in the treated areas, similar to what you’d expect after a dermal filler injection. These effects are minor and typically subside within a few days.
Because the injected fat cells need time to develop their own blood supply, some swelling and small changes in volume may occur in the first few weeks after your treatment. Dr. Agullo will provide you with personalized aftercare instructions to help ensure optimal healing and successful results.
What Can I Expect From My Lipoderma™ Results?
Like traditional injectable fillers, Lipoderma™ provides both instant and evolving results. You’ll notice an immediate boost in volume and softness after your treatment, although your body may absorb some of the transferred fat in the first few weeks (this is a normal and expected process). The remaining fat cells will gradually integrate with your tissue, offering lasting rejuvenation that can endure for years to come.
As your results continue to refine over the months following your Lipoderma™ treatment, you will notice a smoother, fuller, and more youthful appearance—without the artificial feel of synthetic fillers. Because the enhancement provided by Lipoderma™ is created using living tissue, it moves and behaves just like your own fat, yielding subtle, beautiful, and long-lasting results.
