A Flat Facial Contour Transformed into a Three-Dimensional Look with Facial Fat Grafting!

<Actual DM Plastic Surgery facial fat grafting case>

If there is too little fat in the face, it can look dull and lifeless,

and deep-looking wrinkles can make you appear older than your actual age.

If an appropriate amount of fat is present in the areas of the face that need it,

you can achieve a lively, three-dimensional, youthful-looking appearance.

As aging begins, more people are visiting us to improve the increasingly hollow appearance of the face and loss of elasticity

with a firm, youthful-looking image. Those who are concerned about their facial contours due to naturally thin facial features are also visiting us

for facial contour correction. Since the procedure can be performed on various areas, fat can be injected into the areas that need it

to help address these concerns and symptoms.

We would like to introduce facial fat grafting at DM Plastic Surgery,

which helps improve facial appearance affected by aging in middle-aged patients and enhances the facial features of younger patients.

What Is Facial Fat Grafting?

As mentioned above, facial fat grafting

is a procedure in which excess fat is harvested from areas of your body such as the buttocks, thighs, or abdomen and

transplanted into areas of the face that lack volume, helping to enhance the overall three-dimensional appearance and volume of the face

for a more youthful-looking appearance.

In conventional fat grafting, the remaining fat after the first fat grafting procedure is frozen and stored for use during the second procedure.

However, reusing frozen fat cells in this way may result in a lower engraftment rate than the first fat grafting procedure

and an increased likelihood of inflammation. At DM Plastic Surgery, even for the second procedure, fresh, unfrozen fat is harvested

and used to reduce the risk of side effects and increase the fat engraftment rate, helping improve patient satisfaction.

The Location of Facial Fat Is Most Important

Facial fat can be divided into necessary and unnecessary fat depending on the area.

A face that looks hollow due to a lack of volume is especially noticeable in photographs,

and if areas that should have a three-dimensional appearance look flat, the overall facial contour

may not look smooth, making you appear older. On the other hand,

when there is excessive fat in areas that do not need it,

the face may look larger and lose its three-dimensional appearance.

However, if an appropriate amount of fat is present in the temples, front cheekbones, cheeks, and nasolabial folds,

the face can look smaller and achieve a three-dimensional, youthful-looking appearance.

At DM Plastic Surgery, we balance the proportions of the entire face

and create a naturally three-dimensional appearance with smooth volume.

What Makes DM Plastic Surgery’s Fat Grafting Special?

At DM Plastic Surgery,

through thorough consultations with plastic surgery specialists who have extensive clinical experience,

we assess each individual’s facial features and perform fat grafting only in the areas that need it,

providing a customized procedure designed to improve volume and satisfaction.

Fresh fat is harvested instead of using frozen fat to reduce the risk of side effects,

and specialized fat grafting equipment is used to improve the engraftment rate.

An even amount of fat is injected to improve elasticity, and the procedure is performed directly by an experienced

plastic surgery specialist, minimizing damage to the skin and tissue and allowing a quick return to daily activities.

How Is It Different from Conventional Fat Grafting?

DM Plastic Surgery’s fat grafting is performed using a low-volume injection method, allowing for a natural appearance

even when swelling occurs and enabling a quick return to daily activities.

The plastic surgery specialist also creates a one-on-one customized plan and performs the procedure directly,

taking into consideration each individual’s skin, fat, facial muscles, facial soft tissue and thickness, location, and skin elasticity.

Since the procedure is customized, it can provide a beautiful and natural appearance

both when the face is at rest and when making expressions such as smiling.

Using the low-volume injection method mentioned above, in which small amounts are injected gradually,

blood vessel formation is stabilized to improve the engraftment rate and help prevent early skin sagging,

reducing concerns about facial sagging.

What Is the Facial Fat Grafting Procedure at DM Plastic Surgery?

A one-on-one customized plan is established through a thorough consultation before the procedure,

which is then performed directly by a plastic surgery specialist.

Unnecessary fat is harvested from areas such as the thighs or abdomen using a centrifuge,

and microfat is evenly injected into the desired areas.

People with angular facial features and a harsh-looking impression,

people who want to improve their facial contours without contouring surgery,

people concerned about the side effects of implants,

people who want softer facial contours,

people whose lack of facial volume makes them look older,

and people who want lasting results rather than the temporary effects of minimally invasive cosmetic procedures

are the types of patients for whom DM Plastic Surgery recommends fat grafting.

Liposuction is considered relatively difficult among general cosmetic surgeries

and is a procedure that requires extensive experience and expertise across a wide range of cases.

Even when removing a small amount of fat, the procedure must be performed carefully and safely to reduce

the risk of complications that may occur after liposuction. Therefore, you should consult with experienced medical professionals

with extensive clinical experience before undergoing the procedure to achieve satisfactory results.
