Facts about autologous fat injections.
The natural way to attractive contours.
More volume thanks to your own fat.
The most natural way to facial rejuvenation.
In the course of life, there can be a natural loss of fat in certain areas, which can lead to sagging cheeks, thinner lips, less plump breasts or sunken buttocks. Instead of immediately thinking about a facelift or other surgical procedures, autologous fat injections offer a gentle way to restore youthful fullness to your face without leaving visible scars.
Autologous fat injection is one of the most advanced techniques in the field of facial rejuvenation, which Dr. Berkei has been using since 2004. This method offers the most natural alternative to traditional fillers by using your own body fat to correct facial volume loss typically associated with aging. Not only does autologous fat injection naturally fill the sunken areas, it also offers significant advantages over other filling materials, including a longer shelf life, often lasting several years, and a very natural appearance without the risk of swelling.
Areas for volume build-up
Lips
A subtle micro-fat treatment can result in naturally soft and beautiful lips, whereby less is often more. If you long for fuller lips, you can benefit from 1-2 sessions, as autologous fat can be built up gradually.
Cheeks and chin
With targeted contouring using autologous fat, the cheeks and chin can be defined and accentuated in the long term without hyaluronic acid to achieve a harmonious facial profile.
Jawline
The precise injection of autologous fat along the jawline allows effective contouring of the jawline, tightening sagging skin and sharpening the profile. This treatment has become increasingly popular in recent years.
Golden Facelift/Full Face
By building up volume with autologous fat, cleverly distributed as macro, micro and nano fat, a natural lifting effect can be achieved that rejuvenates the entire face without incisions and ensures long-lasting results.
Décolleté and chest
Autologous fat injections are a popular alternative to silicone gel implants. By building up the breast and the skin of the décolleté with the patient’s own fat, a natural push effect can be achieved, giving the décolleté smoother skin, attractive natural fullness and shape.
Buttocks
A targeted treatment with autologous fat (BBL) can lead to sensual curves by building up the fatty tissue in the right places to make the buttocks appear plumper and more shapely and to achieve the so-called “peach bottom”.
Requirements for autologous fat injections
Two conditions must be met for autologous fat injections: Firstly, there must be sufficient fat in another part of the body that can be used for harvesting, such as the abdomen or hips. Secondly, there should be a lack of volume in the area to be filled that particularly bothers you.
The possibilities for injections are diverse and range from lips and cheeks to the chin and jawline to breasts and buttocks. Even a complete liquid facelift is possible without the use of a scalpel. Discover the gentle way of facial rejuvenation and regain a radiant, youthful appearance – without any major surgery and with amazingly natural results.
A shapely face
through lipofilling.
Naturally to the aesthetic form.
Facial contouring with autologous fat, also known as autologous fat grafting or lipofilling, is an innovative and gentle method of aesthetic surgery to contour the face and restore lost volume. Compared to synthetic fillers, autologous fat grafting offers the advantage of using your body’s own fatty tissue, which, unlike most fillers, leads to long-lasting results. Youthful attractiveness can be recognized by the volume of the lips, eyebrows, cheeks and forehead. The most natural way for slim women over the age of 40 to fill this area attractively and naturally is lipofilling.
The fatty tissue is removed from suitable areas of the body using tiny cannulas and carefully processed to prepare the pure fatty tissue for transplantation. In this way, Dr. Berkei and her experienced team not only achieve natural volume replenishment, but also use the regenerative properties of the body’s own fat for a holistic rejuvenation of your face.
Results of lipofilling
Dr. Berkei and her team use the latest techniques and advanced medical equipment for facial contouring with autologous fat to ensure precise injection of the autologous fat into the areas of the face to be treated. Her particular focus is on achieving natural and even results that take the patient’s individual proportions into account. With more than 26 years of experience in plastic and aesthetic surgery and her aesthetic sensitivity, Dr. Berkei ensures a harmonious overall appearance that emphasizes your natural beauty.
One of the outstanding features of the technique used by Dr. Berkei is the short recovery time, which means that most patients can resume their normal activities after just a few days. Although temporary swelling and bruising may occur, the final results are visible within a few weeks once the transplanted fatty tissue has permanently established itself in the facial tissue.
Regenerative smoothing with
Nano-micro-own fat.
Facial rejuvenation through the power of your own cells.
Nano-micro autologous fat injection by Dr. Berkei is an effective technique for skin rejuvenation that uses the regenerative properties of stem cells present in fatty tissue. Unlike traditional fat grafting, where the main goal is to correct volume in specific areas of the face, nano-micro autologous fat treatment focuses on using regenerative cells from the fat tissue to improve skin quality and stimulate collagen production. This treatment can be used to improve skin texture and reduce fine lines and wrinkles, especially in areas with thin skin where volume is not essential.
Treatment procedure with nano-micro autologous fat
Dr. Berkei’s treatment with nano-micro autologous fat can be carried out early, from the age of 30, and offers the possibility of significantly reducing the effects of aging on the skin. By using this regenerative technique, you can achieve a more natural facial rejuvenation without having to undergo an invasive procedure such as a facelift.
Treatment with nano-micro autologous fat can be performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia and is generally less stressful. Although it may take some time before the final results are visible, the recovery time and recovery period are significantly shorter compared to more invasive procedures such as a facelift. With nano-micro autologous fat treatment, patients can achieve natural and aesthetic results that effectively combat the skin’s ageing process and enhance their individual beauty.
The different types of cells
Nano, micro and stem cells are different types of cells, each with different functions and sizes, and can serve different purposes in facial rejuvenation.
Nanofat cells are very small fat cells that are extracted from adipose tissue using a special processing technique. They are smaller than conventional fat cells and can therefore be injected into the skin more easily. Nanofat cells are often used to improve skin texture, smooth fine lines and wrinkles and stimulate collagen production.
Microfat cells are slightly larger fat cells than nanofat cells, but smaller than conventional fat cells. They are also extracted from fatty tissue using special processing techniques and can help to improve skin elasticity, compensate for volume loss and revitalize the skin structure.
Stem cells are multipotent cells that have the ability to differentiate into different cell types. They can transform into fat cells, skin cells, muscle cells and other cell types. Stem cells are particularly known for their regenerative properties and are often used in conjunction with exosomes for skin rejuvenation to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
In facial rejuvenation, nano-, micro- and stem cells are often used in combination with exosomes to achieve optimal results. Nanofat cells can help to improve skin texture and smooth fine lines, while microfat cells can be used to compensate for volume loss and improve skin elasticity. Stem cells can promote the regeneration of skin cells and help to improve the overall quality of the skin.
Voices of patients.
Satisfied patients share their experiences.
A naturally full
chin and cheeks.
Gentle on the harmonious facial profile.
Dr. Berkei uses autologous fat injections not only as a method of wrinkle reduction, but also as an effective technique for chin and cheek augmentation. This approach uses the body’s own fat, which is harvested from less conspicuous areas such as the abdomen or thighs, specially processed and then injected specifically into the chin and cheek area.
Dr. Berkei uses her years of experience and surgical precision to place the fat in a way that creates a harmonious and natural facial structure. This method is particularly beneficial as it offers a permanent solution to increase volume and improve the facial profile without the risks and side effects of synthetic fillers. In addition, the injected fat helps to improve skin quality through the rich stem cells by supporting skin regeneration and providing a more youthful radiance.

Autologous fat injections with Dr. Berkei are a tailor-made treatment that requires the utmost precision and comprehensive planning. The treatment begins with the removal of fat cells from areas of the body such as the abdomen, hips, knees or thighs. This fat is carefully prepared using a special process to ensure optimum quality and vitality of the fat cells. Dr. Berkei uses a very fine cannula to inject the processed fat into the tissue in a three-dimensional fan shape and in the form of mini-drops. The puncture is only one to two millimeters in size, which makes the process not only minimally invasive, but also as painless as possible. Particularly important is the detailed and precise contouring of your face, which Dr. Berkei performs personally.

Answers to your questions.
Autologous fat injections can be performed in many areas of the face. Popular areas include the chin, cheeks and lips. However, autologous fat injections can also achieve a more youthful appearance in the area of the temples, eyebrows or earlobes.
We can extract the autologous fat from various parts of the body. Popular areas include the lower abdomen, hips, riding breeches and even the knees.
An autologous fat injection, also known as lipofilling, is ideal for patients with a loss of volume in the face or other areas of the body. Suitable areas on the face are, for example, the cheeks or the chin. However, contouring with autologous fat can also be effective in the area of the marionette line, nasolabial fold or the jawline. A personal consultation is crucial in order to develop the best possible treatment plan for you.
The surgical fee depends on the findings and the extent of the operation. Therefore, an individual consultation and examination during our consultation hours is necessary first in order to estimate the costs. At the end of the consultation, however, every patient is informed of the surgical fee by means of a detailed explanation of all necessary cost items. The costs of the entire surgical procedure are divided into
- OP fee
- Clinic costs
- Medication for the operation.
Long-term results can be achieved with autologous fat injections. As a rule, around 60-70% of the transplanted fat grows at the injection site. However, long-term success depends on various factors. A healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a healthy diet, can also help to optimize the long-term results of autologous fat injections. It is important to note that the natural ageing process and weight fluctuations can also influence the long-term effect.
The procedure is performed under outpatient or inpatient conditions under a well-tolerated, gentle short anesthesia (TIVA). Using tiny punctures in the area of the lower abdomen or hips, for example, we can thread a fine suction cannula under the skin and suck out some fat cells by hand. We use a particularly gentle fat extraction process in order to obtain as many vital cells as possible. We then prepare the fat and can finally inject it into the desired region via small punctures in the skin.
It depends on whether macro or micro/nano grease was used. The aim of autologous fat injections with macro-fat is to increase volume or contouring. A change can be seen immediately after the procedure. However, it takes at least 6 weeks until the swelling has subsided and the final result is visible. The aim of micro/nano-fat therapy is to rejuvenate the skin. This regenerative effect is visible after approx. 6 months.
An autologous fat injection is a safe procedure. However, there may be slight swelling and hematomas in the first 2 weeks. We will explain the risks relevant to you in detail during a personal consultation.
