Fat Grafting Q&A with Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery

Hello, this is ASPS. Today, we’re having a Q&A session to answer your questions about fat grafting. ^^

Fat grafting helps create a three-dimensional youthful face!

Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery is characterized by a technique that sets it apart from other hospitals, with less fat absorption and a higher graft retention rate. After fat grafting, there is also the advantage that it can help with anti-aging and skin regeneration. ^^

The representative questions you’re curious about! Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery has the answers.

How long does fat grafting last?

When fat cells are transplanted, the vulnerable fat cells die and are absorbed during the initial 1 to 2 months. On the other hand, living fat cells become fully stabilized after about 1 to 6 months and are maintained permanently. ^^

When should a second procedure be done after fat grafting?

Since the usual fat graft survival rate is 80 to 90%, after observing the result for about 1 to 2 months after the procedure, additional grafting can be done for the amount that was partially absorbed.

How much swelling occurs with autologous fat grafting?

During the first week, the swelling may feel awkward and the cheeks may look a little overfilled, but it improves after 3 to 4 days. The second week may still feel slightly awkward, but it is not noticeable. After one month, it approaches the desired look, and for three months the swelling continues to gradually subside. After that, if there is no change in body weight, there are usually no major changes.

If you lose weight after fat grafting, does all of the fat disappear?

Fat cells in the body do not disappear; only their size changes. When fat is grafted, it becomes part of your body, so if you lose weight its volume decreases, and if you gain weight, it increases as well.

Where is the fat taken from for autologous fat grafting?

It is usually taken from the thighs or abdomen, and there are no restrictions to a specific area. Even if you are very thin, there is still enough fat in these areas to perform the procedure, so there are rarely any major difficulties in collecting fat.
