What Is the Difference Between Fat Grafting and Fillers for a Youthful Volume Procedure? Who Needs Fat Grafting?

Fat grafting and fillers are 대표적인

one of the most common volume procedures used to create a youthful look,

and they are among the most commonly performed treatments.

However, there is a clear difference between these two solutions.

Let’s take a look at what those differences are, what each one’s advantages are,

and in what cases fat grafting may be needed more than fillers.

First, fat grafting is a youthful volume procedure

in which fat is harvested from the thighs or abdomen using a small tube,

then separated and transplanted to areas of the face that lack volume

to increase fullness.

People often think that if a needle is used, it is not surgery but a simple procedure,

but because a small incision is made with a scalpel,

fat grafting can be considered a surgical procedure.

The reason this type of volume procedure has become popular

can also be linked to the trend of beauty filters.

When you use a beauty app, your face in the camera appears

especially younger and more refined,

because you can see that the sunken areas of the face

have been filled in.

As a result, more and more people have been looking for

youthful volume procedures such as fat grafting and fillers.

So, many people may wonder what the difference is between

fillers and fat grafting, both of which add volume.

First, fillers can be highlighted for their short recovery period,

short treatment time, and relatively low cost.

Fat grafting can be used when you want to add volume to the face overall,

and the facial areas where fillers and fat grafting are more effective

also differ.

Fillers are often used to shape areas such as the chin tip

or the bridge of the nose,

whereas fat grafting is used to broadly restore volume in areas such as

the forehead, temples, cheeks,

and nasolabial folds.

Therefore, if the face lacks overall fullness,

or if the face has become thinner with age and the image has changed,

fat grafting, a volume procedure, may be helpful.
