If you are looking for a good place for fat grafting in Gangnam, what criteria should you use?

This is the question most often asked during consultations by people concerned about pelvic volume.

It is often not simply about increasing size, but about creating a smoother line from the waist to the hips.

So what matters is not “how much is added,” but “where and how it is placed.”

Pelvic structure differs from person to person. The needed areas vary depending on the angle of the ilium, waist curvature, and the upper-to-lower ratio of the hips.

Even with the same amount added, some body types look natural while others may appear spread out.

The difference in a skilled clinic starts with planning.

How does the procedure go? Fat is harvested from the abdomen or thighs using a cannula, evenly separating the subcutaneous fat layer in multiple directions.

If it is aggressively scraped in one direction, cell damage can increase,

so a gentle layer-by-layer method is important.

The harvested tissue then goes through a purification process to remove blood, anesthetic solution, and damaged cells.

This step must be done accurately to help with later graft survival.

Rather than injecting all at once, small amounts are distributed across multiple layers.

For the pelvis, depth and direction must be calculated to look natural.

If too much is concentrated in one area, it may feel firm or the borders may become visible over time.

The result becomes stable only when harvesting and injection are connected as one design.

Effects and survival rate: realistic expectations The result should be judged not immediately after surgery, but after 3 to 6 months, once it has stabilized.

Before/After

Some of the volume that looks swollen at the beginning is absorbed.

In general, about 60% to 70% is often maintained, but this varies depending on individual constitution and care.

Before/After

The graft survival rate is affected by the injection method, compression management, and weight changes.

If too much is added at once, uneven absorption can instead cause irregularities.

That is why planning an appropriate amount in several stages may be more stable.

Timeline, pain, and recovery process Pain after surgery is often felt more strongly at the donor site.

Before/After

Stiffness and pressure may continue for several days.

Bruising and swelling can be noticeable for about two weeks, and the final line settles over the course of a few months.

Wearing compression garments and avoiding strenuous exercise are important.

The procedure is completed in one day, but it takes time for the tissue to settle.

Rapid weight loss may affect the graft survival rate.

A realistic approach is to allow enough time and observe the changes.
