Facial fat grafting: If your face looks dull because you’ve lost too much facial volume after dieting?

If your face has too little fat, it can look lifeless,

and deep wrinkles can make you look older than you really are.

If there is an appropriate amount of fat in the areas where facial volume is needed,

you can create a lively, three-dimensional youthful look.

As aging begins and facial fat keeps disappearing, making the face look less firm,

more and more people are visiting to improve to a plump, youthful appearance, and people who are concerned about their naturally slim face shape and facial line are also visiting for facial contour correction. Because the procedure can be performed on various areas, fat can be injected into the needed areas to address these symptoms and concerns.

We would like to introduce DM Plastic Surgery’s facial fat grafting, which improves age-related facial changes in middle-aged patients and enhances the features of younger patients.

What is facial fat grafting?

As mentioned above, facial fat grafting is a procedure in which unnecessary fat is collected from your own body, such as the buttocks, thighs, or abdomen, and the harvested fat is grafted into areas of the face that lack volume, increasing the overall three-dimensionality and volume of the face and making it possible to improve to a more youthful appearance.

In general fat grafting, the remaining fat after the first graft is frozen and stored for use in the second procedure. However, in such cases, reusing frozen fat cells results in a lower survival rate than the first graft and a higher chance of inflammation. At DM Plastic Surgery, even for the second procedure, fresh, unfrozen fat is collected and used, reducing side effects and increasing fat survival, which improves patient satisfaction.

The location of facial fat matters most

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

A face that looks sunken due to lack of volume stands out especially in photos, and if areas that should have three-dimensionality look flat, the overall face line can appear less smooth and make you look older. If there is excess fat in areas where it is not needed, the face may actually look bigger and lose dimension, but if the temples, front cheekbones, cheeks, and nasolabial fold areas have an appropriate amount of fat, the face can appear smaller and become a youthful, three-dimensional face.

At DM Plastic Surgery, we balance the entire face to complete a natural three-dimensional look and smooth volume.

What makes DM Plastic Surgery’s fat grafting special!

At DM Plastic Surgery,

through sufficient consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons with extensive clinical experience, we identify each individual’s facial structure and perform fat grafting only where needed, providing customized surgery that enhances volume and satisfaction.

By using fresh fat instead of frozen fat, the risk of side effects was lowered, and survival rates were improved by using fat grafting equipment.

By injecting a uniform amount of fat to increase elasticity and having the board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive know-how perform the procedure directly, damage to the skin and tissue is minimized, allowing a quick return to daily life.

How is it different from general fat grafting?

DM Plastic Surgery’s fat grafting is performed with a low-injection method, so even if swelling occurs, a natural result can be achieved, allowing a quick return to daily life. In addition, considering each person’s skin, fat, facial expression muscles, facial soft tissue & thickness, location, and skin elasticity, a board-certified plastic surgeon establishes a 1:1 customized plan and performs the procedure directly. Because the surgery is customized, it can create a beautiful and natural look even when making expressions such as resting or smiling.

With the low-injection method of injecting small amounts in micro-doses mentioned earlier, blood vessel formation is stabilized, improving survival rates and helping to prevent skin sagging early, reducing concerns about facial drooping.

DM Plastic Surgery Facial Fat Grafting Before & After

After an extreme diet, the area under the eyes and the cheeks looked sunken, and the face had changed into a peanut-shaped face. They tried improving it with fillers, but did not feel much effect, so they decided to undergo surgery and came to our clinic.

Through facial fat grafting, the face gained overall dimension, so the face looks smaller, and with added volume, the skin elasticity also improved, which you can see in the photos showing the change to a more youthful appearance.

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

How is DM Plastic Surgery’s facial fat grafting performed?

Before surgery, a 1:1 customized plan is established through sufficient consultation, and the procedure is performed directly by a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Unnecessary fat is collected from the thighs or abdomen using a centrifuge, and micro-fat is evenly injected into the desired areas.

For people with angular faces and a fierce impression, those who want to improve their facial line without contour surgery, those who are worried about side effects from implants, those who want a softer facial line, those whose faces look older because of insufficient volume, and those who want lasting results rather than the temporary effect of mini cosmetic procedures,

At DM Plastic Surgery, we recommend fat grafting for these types of patients.

Liposuction is relatively difficult even among general plastic surgery procedures, and it is one of the surgeries that requires extensive know-how and experience with a wide range of cases. No matter how small the amount of fat being suctioned, it must be performed carefully and safely to reduce future liposuction side effects, so you should undergo surgery after consultation with medical staff who have rich clinical experience in order to achieve satisfying results.
