Tips from a Clinic Specializing in Facial Fat Grafting for Improving Fat Retention!

Hello.

This is Obje Plastic Surgery Clinic.

After facial fat grafting, some people feel that the fat has diminished over time, while others maintain the same volume.

Although they underwent the same procedure, there is a clear reason why the results can differ so much.

Fat retention is not determined by the surgery alone.

The degree of maintenance can vary depending on how you manage yourself after surgery and your individual constitution.

Today, we will go over the reasons why fat retention after facial fat grafting can differ, along with specific methods that may help improve it.

By reading to the end, you will also learn what to check when choosing a clinic specializing in facial fat grafting.

Tips for improving fat retention: It depends on these “three things”

Facial fat grafting is not simply a procedure for filling in volume.

It involves transferring and grafting your own fat cells to the areas where they are needed.

For the transferred fat cells to become established, they must receive a blood supply and survive in their new location.

Because fat cells are also living tissue, your physical condition after surgery directly affects fat retention after facial fat grafting.

That is why postoperative care is a key factor that can determine the outcome.

The first important factor is avoiding sudden changes in body weight.

Grafted fat cells have the same characteristics as the ordinary body fat in our bodies.

Therefore, if your weight decreases significantly, the size of the grafted fat cells may decrease as well.

In particular, going on an overly restrictive diet within one month after surgery may negatively affect cells that are still in the process of settling in.

Another important point is to eat sufficiently.

A steady supply of nutrients is needed for fat cells to settle stably in their new location.

In particular, regularly eating meals rich in protein and vitamins may be helpful.

Reducing your food intake or skipping meals after surgery may affect the retention process.

The final important point is to get enough rest.

During recovery after surgery, allowing your body to rest sufficiently may help the cells settle stably.

It is best to avoid excessive exercise or strenuous activity immediately after surgery.

These three things are neither unusual nor difficult.

However, because failing to follow them may lead to differences in the outcome, they should not be taken lightly.

Is good aftercare enough?

The results may differ under “these conditions”

Even if you follow the three points above carefully, it is difficult for everyone to expect the same results.

The retention process can vary depending on your individual constitution and current physical condition.

If you have a slender body type and do not gain weight easily,

the process of having the cells settle in their new location may be relatively more difficult.

Similarly, this may be the case if you are unable to eat sufficiently due to orthodontic treatment or if your weight is continuously decreasing.

In such cases, it may be better to adjust the timing of surgery or stabilize your nutritional status first before proceeding.

On the other hand, if your face lacks volume while you have sufficient fat in your thighs or abdomen,

you may have an adequate amount available for harvesting, creating relatively favorable conditions for the cells to settle.

It can also be efficient because fat from areas where it is not needed can be used in areas where it is needed.

Conversely, if your face is thin and there is also an insufficient amount of fat available for harvesting from your thighs or abdomen,

it may be performed only in limited areas where it is needed, or other methods may be considered together.

The important thing is to fully assess your constitution and current condition before surgery and then choose an appropriate method.

How to choose a clinic specializing in facial fat grafting

When looking for a clinic specializing in facial fat grafting, the most important factor is not finding a place that grafts a large amount of fat.

It is finding a clinic that can analyze your facial structure and body type together.

Even when the same amount is grafted, the result can vary significantly depending on where it is placed, at what depth, and how it is divided for injection.

For example, the grafting locations differ between someone whose area beside the cheekbones appears sunken and someone who lacks cheek volume.

Someone with hollow temples requires a different approach as well.

As the grafting plan changes completely depending on which areas of the face lack volume,

applying one method identically to everyone is unlikely to lead to good results.

It is also necessary to examine how thick the skin is.

If a large amount is grafted all at once into an area with thin skin, the surface may appear uneven.

Therefore, when choosing a clinic specializing in facial fat grafting, it is important to check whether the clinic can accurately assess your facial condition and create a plan suited to it.

Today, we reviewed the reasons why fat retention after facial fat grafting can differ, how to manage yourself to help improve retention,

and what to check when choosing a clinic.

If you are still carefully comparing several clinics, we would like to say that you are doing the right thing.

If you want to achieve a natural result that lasts a long time after a single surgery, it is right to research your options just as carefully.

Dr. Shin Jong-in of Obje Plastic Surgery Clinic analyzes the facial bone structure and skin thickness, the degree of volume deficiency,

and the amount of fat available for harvesting before designing the grafting locations and depths.

Rather than simply filling in volume, the grafting layers and amounts are adjusted differently to create natural contours within the proportions of the face.

If you are looking for a clinic specializing in facial fat grafting,

we recommend checking whether it can analyze your facial condition and body type together, rather than looking only at the surgical method.
