Facial Fat Grafting for a Vibrant, Youthful Appearance!

<Actual DM Plastic Surgery facial fat grafting case subject>

If there is too little fat in the face, you may look less vibrant,

and deeper-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 vibrant, three-dimensional, youthful-looking appearance.

As aging begins, more people are visiting us to improve the loss of facial volume and the lack of firmness that make them look less taut,

seeking a firm, youthful image.

People who are concerned about their facial contours due to their naturally thin face shape are also visiting us for facial contour correction.

Because 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 the facial fat grafting procedure at DM Plastic Surgery,

which improves facial appearance affected by aging in middle-aged patients and enhances facial features in younger patients.

What Is Facial Fat Grafting?

As mentioned above, facial fat grafting is a procedure in which unnecessary fat is harvested from areas of your body such as the buttocks, thighs, or abdomen,

and then grafted into areas of the face that lack volume,

increasing the three-dimensionality and volume of the entire face to create a more youthful appearance.

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

However, reusing previously frozen fat cells can result in a lower survival rate than the first fat grafting procedure

and a higher risk of inflammation.

Therefore, at DM Plastic Surgery, fresh, unfrozen fat is harvested and used even for the second procedure,

reducing the risk of complications and increasing the fat survival rate to 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 appears hollow due to a lack of volume is especially noticeable in photographs.

If areas that should have three-dimensionality appear flat, the overall facial contour may not look smooth,

which can make you appear older.

On the other hand, excessive fat in areas that do not need it can make the face look larger and reduce its three-dimensionality.

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

the face can appear smaller and have a three-dimensional, youthful appearance.

At DM Plastic Surgery, we balance the entire face

to create natural-looking three-dimensionality and smooth volume.

What Makes DM Plastic Surgery’s Fat Grafting Special?

At DM Plastic Surgery,

through thorough consultations with board-certified plastic surgeons who have extensive clinical experience,

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

This customized procedure is designed to improve volume and satisfaction.

We harvest fresh fat instead of using frozen fat to reduce the risk of complications,

and use fat-grafting equipment to improve the survival rate.

By injecting a consistent amount of fat, we also improve firmness.

The procedure is performed directly by an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon,

minimizing damage to the skin and tissue and allowing a quick return to daily activities.

How Is It Different from Standard Fat Grafting?

DM Plastic Surgery’s fat grafting is performed using a low-volume injection technique,

so even if swelling occurs, a natural appearance can be maintained,

allowing a quick return to everyday life.

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

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

Because the procedure is customized, it can create a beautiful, natural appearance even when you are still or making facial expressions such as smiling.

Using the low-volume injection technique mentioned above, in which small amounts are injected precisely,

we stabilize blood vessel formation to improve the fat survival rate and help prevent early skin sagging,

reducing concerns about facial sagging.

​The patient visited us because they were concerned about an overall lack of facial fat that made their appearance look less vibrant.

Through full facial fat grafting, the face gained overall three-dimensionality,

making it appear smaller. The added volume also enhanced skin firmness,

as shown in the photographs of the transformation to a more youthful-looking face.

※The degree of swelling and recovery may vary from person to person. Please keep this in mind.※

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

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

and the procedure is performed directly by a board-certified plastic surgeon.

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

and micro-fat is injected evenly into the desired areas.

People with angular faces and a severe-looking impression,

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

those concerned about complications from implants,

those who want softer facial contours,

those whose lack of facial volume makes them look older,

and those 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 standard plastic surgery procedures

and is one of the procedures 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 afterward.

Therefore, you should undergo surgery after consulting with experienced medical professionals who have extensive clinical experience

to achieve satisfactory results.
