How Long Does the Maintenance Period of Facial Autologous Fat Grafting Last?

  After the typhoon has passed, a cool breeze is gradually beginning to blow. Autumn is now approaching, and while we always need to diet, autumn is especially said to be the best season for it. This is because the cooler weather makes outdoor activities easier, and as temperatures drop, the basal metabolic rate increases. Even if you do nothing, your body burns more energy at a similar level of activity or exercise.

However, dieting inevitably comes with side effects. First, when you exercise, testosterone secretion can lead to hair loss, and loose skin can develop. More than anything, the biggest concern is that dieting cannot reduce fat only in the areas you want.

In our bodies, including the face, there are areas that look beautiful when they have volume, and areas that look beautiful when they do not. Because you cannot choose only the areas you want to slim down, there is no way to prevent fat from disappearing from places you do not want.

 

  In particular, if the face lacks fat, it can make you look older, make the cheekbones stand out, and create aesthetic issues such as giving a harsh or masculine impression.

To improve this, many people consider various ways to restore volume. Among them, fat grafting and fillers are often preferred because they add volume and make hollow areas look more three-dimensional and lively.

Fillers come in various types and can be applied to many different areas, but since their maintenance period is limited and the cost is charged according to the amount used, and because side effects such as inflammation can occur if they are performed indiscriminately, many people look into the maintenance period of facial fat grafting.

 

  There are many types of fat grafting, but the reason many people are especially curious about the maintenance period of facial autologous fat grafting is that the engraftment rate is the most important factor in fat grafting.

The engraftment rate refers to the probability that tissue properly attaches to and survives in another tissue. In the case of the maintenance period of facial autologous fat grafting, because your own fat is transplanted to areas that need volume, once it engrafts, it becomes your own tissue permanently and is less likely to be absorbed over time, which is an advantage.

However, because many clinics perform fat grafting procedures, many people may be wondering which clinic to go to and which method to choose.

For those people, today we would like to introduce the PicoCell Power Fat Grafting procedure performed at April 31 Plastic Surgery.

 

  PicoCell Power Fat Grafting is a method that minimizes tissue damage through even distribution across the skin layer, and finely injects fat after separating it into particle units, thereby minimizing vascular damage and increasing the engraftment rate.

With fat grafting, if excessive volume is created through an overly forceful procedure, the results may look unnatural and satisfaction may decrease.

In addition, forcibly injecting too much fat can cause fat necrosis, an uneven grafted area, and side effects such as bruising, swelling, or inflammation may occur.

PicoCell Power Fat Grafting is not a procedure that simply inserts a large amount of fat, but rather aims to create a balanced face through a natural volume enhancement.

 

 

PicoCell Power Fat Grafting consists of three steps.

First, after designing the grafting area, pain is minimized with painless sleep anesthesia and local anesthesia. Second, pure micro-fat is separated from areas with abundant fat, such as the abdomen, the back of the thighs, or the inner thighs. Third, the autologous fat is grafted into areas that need volume with a delicate and precise touch.

 

PicoCell Power Fat Grafting can be performed on areas such as a flat forehead, temples, bridge of the nose, cheeks, lips, chin, under-eye wrinkles, hollow cheeks below the cheekbones, and nasolabial folds, as well as on desired areas like the back of the hands, a flat chest, or hip-up enhancement for the buttocks.

There are several reasons why we recommend PicoCell Power Fat Grafting to those concerned about the maintenance period of facial autologous fat grafting.

First, to refine pure fat, we use the Lipokit fat purification device, which can also extract stem cells, thereby increasing the engraftment rate.

When undergoing grafting, you may also worry about scarring. However, PicoCell Power Fat Grafting has minimal invasiveness, so there is little burden regarding scars.

And because no foreign substances are inserted, there are almost no side effects, and if you are worried about the recovery period, showering and daily life are possible from the day after surgery, so it is not burdensome. PicoCell Power Fat Grafting not only fills in facial volume, but also smoothly improves uneven facial contours, so a facial contouring effect can also be expected.

  At our clinic, Director Park Seong-wan, who is in charge of fat body contouring surgery, uses ultrasound and photography to assess the overall facial balance and volume structure, determines and confirms the area for fat harvesting, and then performs customized surgery with an appropriate surgical plan through one-on-one consultation. In addition, we thoroughly manage recovery care, including bruise and swelling care.
