What Are the Benefits of Lipoderma™?
The most significant benefit of Lipoderma™ is that it offers all of the perks of fat transfer without the need for surgery. Because traditional fat transfer requires liposuction surgery to harvest excess fat, downtime for healing is required. With Lipoderma™, no surgery is needed, so recovery is minimal. Additionally, many patients who wish to take advantage of an all-natural alternative to traditional filler treatments may not have adequate donor fat for fat transfer. Lipoderma™ allows anyone to enjoy the benefits of enhanced volume and contour. Other advantages offered by Lipoderma™ include:
- No incisions means no scars after treatment
- Correction of volume loss in the face, hands, and other smaller areas of the body
- Smoothing of contour irregularities after liposuction
- Improvement in the appearance of dimpled skin or cellulite
- Smoothing of acne scars
What Can Lipoderma™ Treat?
Lipoderma™ provides you with a wide range of benefits, including:
Natural Facial Rejuvenation
Lipoderma™ restores volume to your cheeks, under-eye hollows, and temples for a refreshed and youthful appearance. It can also smooth acne scars and correct skin irregularities.
Hand Rejuvenation
Use Lipoderma™ to reverse the effects of aging on your hands by plumping up your hands to reduce the prominence of veins and tendons.
Male Enhancement
Lipoderma™ can be used for discreet, natural enhancement of the penis, providing added volume and increasing confidence without implants or synthetic fillers.
Longer-lasting Outcomes
Because the fat used in Lipoderma™ treatments is carefully processed and preserved, the transferred fat cells will establish a viable blood supply, allowing them to flourish in the area permanently.
Low Risk of Complications
Since Lipoderma™ utilizes purified donor adipose tissue for enhancement, there’s a low risk of allergic reactions or rejection.
At Agullo Plastic Surgery, tailored care begins with a full consultation to discuss the goals and options available.
How Does Lipoderma™ Compare to alloClae™?
Both Lipoderma™ and alloClae™ use processed donor tissue to achieve fullness, making them excellent options for people who may not have sufficient fat to benefit from traditional fat transfer techniques. They both restore volume and offer similar natural-looking results with longevity. However, they are designed to treat different concerns. alloClae™ comes in syringes of larger volume, making it an ideal choice for areas needing more significant contouring or volume restoration.
Lipoderma™ comes in smaller volume syringes, designed to address smaller areas for targeted rejuvenation. If you’re looking for more subtle refinements and rejuvenation of the face and hands, Lipoderma™ may be the solution, while those who want to add volume to larger areas may benefit from alloClae™.
When you come in for your personalized consultation with Dr. Agullo, he will help you determine whether Lipoderma™ or alloClae™ will be the best option for your body type and desired results.
Am I a Good Candidate for Lipoderma™?
You may be a good candidate for Lipoderma™ if you are in good overall health and at a stable, healthy weight. Ideal candidates for Lipoderma™ are people who:
- Want to restore lost volume in the face, hands, or other areas
- Prefer a natural option over synthetic fillers
- Want long-lasting results that work naturally with your body
During your consultation, Dr. Agullo will assess your goals and health to ensure that Lipoderma™ is the right fit for you.
How Is Lipoderma™ Performed?
The Lipoderma™ procedure is completely non-invasive and begins with the numbing of the areas targeted for treatment. Using micro-cannulas, Dr. Agullo meticulously injects tiny droplets of fat into the treatment area, sculpting natural contours and restoring fullness. The precise placement of the fat cells ensures smooth integration and reduces the risk of unevenness or overfilling. The entire procedure is performed with the artistry and precision that is Dr. Agullo’s trademark, in keeping with his reputation for innovation and aesthetic excellence.
What Is Recovery Like After Lipoderma™?
Unlike traditional fat transfer, recovery after your Lipoderma™ treatment requires almost no downtime. You will likely experience minor swelling and tenderness at the injection sites, but it is no more uncomfortable than if you got an injectable filler treatment. Any discomfort you may have is easily alleviated with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Since the transferred fat needs time to establish its blood supply, some degree of swelling and subtle changes to the treatment area are expected in the early weeks following the procedure. Dr. Agullo will provide you with specific aftercare instructions to help ensure you know what to do during your Lipoderma™ recovery to achieve optimal results.
What Can I Expect From My Lipoderma™ Results?
Results from Lipoderma™ are both immediate and progressive. You’ll notice enhanced fullness in the treatment area right after the procedure, though some of the transferred fat will be naturally reabsorbed by your body. The remaining fat will successfully establish itself and provide long-term rejuvenation. Your final Lipoderma™ results typically become apparent within a few months and can last for years. After your Lipoderma™ treatment, you will enjoy not only a more youthful, natural appearance but also the peace of mind that comes from knowing the enhancement was achieved using a method free of artificial substances.
Frequently Asked Questions About Lipoderma™
The cost of Lipoderma™ in El Paso depends on several factors, including the location and number of areas treated, and whether you choose to add other cosmetic treatments to your Lipoderma™ procedure.

Because Lipoderma™ uses fat allografts, the results are considered permanent. However, gaining or losing weight and the natural aging process can affect the precise contours of your results. To preserve your Lipoderma™results, it is recommended that you maintain a stable weight.
