Aura Medical Clinic offers lipofilling in Tirana for patients seeking to restore or add volume using their own fat. Every procedure begins with a consultation, because the donor area, treatment area and suitable amount vary from patient to patient.
Aura works with Albanian and Italian surgeons with extensive experience. The surgeon is chosen together with the patient according to the case and budget. Surgery is performed at Aura’s premises, in the new operating theatre equipped with modern technology.
What lipofilling is
Lipofilling, also called fat transfer or fat grafting, is a surgical procedure in which fat is taken from one area of the body, processed and placed in another. The aim may be to restore volume, improve contour or correct a specific unevenness.
The procedure is not the same as dermal filler. It involves both a donor area and a recipient area, so both are assessed during the consultation.
Treatment areas and goals
The assessment covers the area where change is sought, the amount of volume and the potential donor supply. The surgeon examines tissue quality, proportions and how the transfer may suit the goal.
The plan determines:
- the area from which fat will be taken;
- the area where it will be placed;
- the planned amount and distribution;
- the technique, anaesthesia and duration;
- care for both areas after surgery;
- how and when follow-up appointments will take place.
The process at Aura
- Initial enquiry and arranging the consultation.
- Assessment of the donor area, treatment area and goal.

Aura supports the patient from the first enquiry through consultation, preparation, surgery, postoperative care and confirmation of discharge home.
Preparation and surgery
Before surgery, the medical history, medicines, allergies, smoking, previous procedures and necessary tests are reviewed. The team provides instructions about eating, medicines, transport and care at home.
During the procedure, fat is taken from the planned area, processed and placed in a controlled manner in the recipient area. The extent and technique are adapted to the individual plan.
Recovery and care
Swelling, bruising, tenderness or discomfort may occur in the donor and treatment areas after lipofilling. Patients receive instructions about garments or compression where used, positioning, activity, wound care and follow-up appointments.
The time needed to return to work and activity varies according to the areas, extent of the procedure and healing. Any unusual concerns should be reported to the team.
Results
Some of the transferred fat integrates into the recipient area, while some may be absorbed during healing. For this reason, the result develops gradually and is assessed during follow-up appointments. The surgeon explains expectations and whether another stage may be needed according to the goal.
The price of lipofilling
The price depends on the donor and treatment areas, extent, technique, anaesthesia and surgeon selected. After consultation, Aura prepares an individual quotation with competitive prices for the Albanian and regional market.
Frequently asked questions
Is lipofilling the same as filler?
No. Lipofilling uses the patient’s own fat and involves a surgical procedure with a donor area and a recipient area.
Will all the transferred volume remain?
Some may be absorbed during healing. The result is assessed gradually at follow-up appointments.
How are the areas chosen?
The surgeon determines them after assessing the goal, anatomy and donor supply.
