Space Lift –
Three-Dimensional Facial Fat Transfer
The Latest Anti-aging Elixir is Hidden in Fat Deposits!
In the plastic surgery procedure known as Space-Lift, we turn back the hands of time using the patient’s own fat, along with the stem cells and regenerative cells it contains, magically transforming the signs of aging back to youthfulness. There are no scars, no incisions, only tiny cuts. General anesthesia is not required, the recovery time is shorter than traditional facelifts, and even excess fat disappears from the body! After the procedure, the patient regains their former, completely natural and youthful appearance. Their eyes open up: the eyebrows are lifted, enhancing the upper eyelid. Under-eye hollows and bags smooth out, eliminating the tired look. The face becomes fuller, defining the cheekbones and jawline significantly. Improvement in skin texture and tissue quality is also visible.
What Does the Procedure Entail?
The essence of this cutting-edge procedure is gently suctioning the patient’s own fat, then after special purification, injecting it into the deeper layers of the face. We create a three-dimensional effect by lifting the skin from the bone. We build and shape the face layer by layer without making any cuts. The procedure takes 1-1.5 hours, depending on the extent of the intervention. Minimal incisions or puncture wounds are made on the skin, where they are barely visible or not visible at all.
How Does the Skin Quality Improve?
Filling alone yields significant results, but patients who have undergone the treatment reported surprising improvements in skin quality. These changes are attributed to the stem cells and regenerative cells present in the fat.
Where Are Stem Cells and Regenerative Cells Found, and Why Are They Important?
Fatty tissue is an exceptionally rich source of these adaptive cells. According to the latest research, adipose tissue contains twenty-five times more adult stem cells than bone marrow! These cells produce growth factors similar to hormones, ensuring the survival and longevity of transplanted fat cells. Thanks to them, newly formed blood vessels permanently infiltrate the fat shortly, incorporating it into the body. The body metabolizes only about 30% of the fat, which is taken into account during the procedure. The success of the treatment lies in this innovative method, allowing the cells not to be damaged during the procedure and to remain alive after the surgery.
What Are The Advantages of this Procedure Compared to Traditional Plastic Surgery?
In traditional facelifts, the skin and the underlying layers are lifted and pulled back. The results are unsatisfactory for many patients. After the surgery, the skin may not sag, but often, the patient does not appear younger. This is because we instinctively consider a fuller face youthful. You may have encountered someone whose eyebrows were raised, giving them a constant surprised expression. Typical plastic surgery intervention for correcting the lower eyelid involves removing the fatty layer under the eyes to eliminate bags. The skin under the eyes smoothens after the operation, but in most cases, a hollow forms, and the eyes sink into the eye sockets. This makes the patient’s eyes appear smaller, and they often seem older after the surgery. With the Space-Lift- 3 D facial fat transfer technique, we inject back into the face the amount of fat necessary to restore the original state, precisely where it is needed.
How Can the Space-Lift Technique Be Best Illustrated?
Imagine our head as a beach ball. When we release the air, the ball deflates. The easiest way to restore it to its original state is by pumping back the released quantity of air, not by stretching the ball. With aging, we use up a part of the fat in metabolic processes, which applies to the face as well as the body. Using the Space-Lift-+ D facial fat transfer technique, we restore the lost volume to wrinkles, the area around the eyes, cheeks, or wherever necessary. As a result, the skin lifts from the bone – hence the name “Space-Lift.”
What Are the Risks?

The risk of the surgery is significantly lower than traditional liposuction and facelifts. The cannula used in the Space-Lift technique has a blunt tip to prevent possible bleeding and vessel damage.
Recovery Time
Read More
Bleeding occurs in the area where liposuction is performed, which resolves within 1-3 weeks, and the swelling that occurs also subsides within about 3 weeks. During this period, special compression garments must be worn. The face swells and bruising occurs, which resolves within 2 weeks. Since there are no incisions, the recovery is much faster than traditional facelifts.
Who Is it Recommended for?
We recommend the Space-Lift-3 D facial fat transfer technique for those who do not want a facelift or do not need it yet but feel the need to refresh their face and aim for natural results. It is recommended from the age of 35 for treating under-eye circles and sagging, tightening the facial contour, eliminating wrinkles, enlarging lips, and correcting various asymmetries using this technique. It is also recommended as a complementary intervention to traditional facelifts. Please note that if you have excessive loose skin, the Space Lift technique might not be suitable for you. In such cases, a combination of a facelift and facial fat transfer might be necessary.
Stem Cell Treatment for Hair Loss
Stem cells are unique because they have the potential to develop into many different types of cells in the body, including hair follicle cells. In the context of hair loss treatment, stem cells can be used to regenerate damaged or dormant hair follicles, the tiny structures in the skin where hair grows from.

In our advanced hair loss treatment, we harness the remarkable potential of stem cells, which can develop into various types of cells in the body, including those that form hair follicles. These stem cells are harvested from a patient’s own body fat through a special procedure, designed to be minimally invasive and efficient. We also prepare Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) from the patient’s blood, which is known to contain growth factors that promote healing and tissue regeneration.
The harvested stem cells and PRP are then combined and reintroduced to the patient’s scalp, targeting the areas affected by hair loss. This synergistic treatment aims to regenerate damaged or dormant hair follicles, thereby encouraging the growth of new hair and increasing the thickness of existing strands. The procedure takes about 2.5 hours, with no downtime required afterward, allowing patients to immediately return to their daily routine. The only post-procedure care involves wearing a pressure garment on the area where the fat was harvested for a week to ensure optimal healing.
While the initial treatment utilizes freshly harvested stem cells, there is an option to further enhance the regenerative process. For a second round of treatment, we can send the harvested fat to a lab to culture additional stem cells, which allows for their injection during the follow-up treatment a month later.This time, the process is even more streamlined as no additional liposuction is needed.
Stem cell therapy for hair loss is indeed promising, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional hair transplant surgery, with natural-looking results and reduced side effects. However, since it’s a relatively new field, we acknowledge that results can vary based on individual factors such as the extent of hair loss and the patient’s overall health. Therefore, we emphasize the need for a personalized approach to treatment, which is why we’re committed to staying on the cutting edge of research and innovation in this exciting area of medicine.
Stem Cell Treatment for Skin Rejuvenation
Stem cells possess a remarkable ability to transform into various types of cells within the body, a trait that can be instrumental in rejuvenating aging or damaged skin. In the realm of skin rejuvenation, these versatile cells can be employed to renew and repair the underlying structures that support healthy and youthful skin.

In our state-of-the-art skin rejuvenation treatment, we tap into the incredible versatility of stem cells, which have the capacity to develop into cells that can repair and rejuvenate the skin. These cells are obtained from the patient’s own body fat via a minimally invasive and efficient procedure. Concurrently, we create Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) from the patient’s blood, which is rich in growth factors that further promote healing and the rejuvenation of skin tissue.
The harvested stem cells and PRP are then meticulously combined and applied to the patient’s skin, specifically targeting areas that show signs of aging or damage. This combined approach aims to revitalize damaged or aging skin cells, promoting a more youthful appearance, improving skin texture, and enhancing skin tone. The entire treatment is designed to be comfortable, taking approximately 2.5 hours, and does not require any downtime, allowing patients to resume their normal activities immediately. Post-treatment, patients are advised to wear a compression garment on the area of fat extraction for one week to promote optimal recovery.
While the initial session leverages freshly harvested stem cells, we offer a further advanced option. For subsequent treatments, we can cultivate a higher quantity of stem cells by sending the harvested fat to a laboratory. This process allows us to inject a more concentrated batch of stem cells during a follow-up treatment one month later, enhancing the skin’s regenerative process without the need for additional fat harvesting.
The potential of stem cell therapy for skin rejuvenation is truly exciting, offering a less invasive and more natural alternative to traditional cosmetic procedures, with results that are both subtle and natural-looking. As this is a cutting-edge field of aesthetic medicine, individual results can differ, influenced by the patient’s initial skin condition and overall wellness. Personalized care is paramount, which is why we remain committed to the forefront of research and technological advances, ensuring our treatments are as effective and safe as possible.
