Facial Fat Grafting: If You Want to Look More Youthful and Energetic

<Actual facial fat grafting case at DM Plastic Surgery>

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

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 gradually disappears, along with a less firm appearance,

the number of people visiting for improvement into a plumper, more youthful look is increasing.

People who are concerned about their facial contours because they naturally have a thin face shape

also visit for facial contour correction. Since the procedure can be performed in 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 aging-related facial changes in middle-aged patients and brings out the features of younger patients.

What is facial fat grafting?

As mentioned above, facial fat grafting involves harvesting unnecessary fat from your own body, such as the buttocks, thighs, or abdomen,

and grafting the harvested fat into areas of the face that lack volume.

This is a procedure that can increase the three-dimensionality and volume of the entire face,

making it possible to improve it into a more youthful-looking face.

In general fat grafting, leftover fat after the first graft is frozen and stored for use in a second procedure.

However, when frozen fat cells are reused, the survival rate is lower than in the first graft,

and the risk of inflammation increases. At DM Plastic Surgery, even for the second procedure,

fresh, unfrozen fat is harvested and used to reduce side effects and increase fat survival,

raising patient satisfaction.

The location of facial fat is what matters most

Facial fat can be divided into fat that is needed and fat that is not needed, depending on the area.

A face that looks sunken due to lack of volume is especially noticeable in photos,

and if areas that should look three-dimensional appear flat, the overall face line can seem less smooth

and make you look older.

When there is excessive fat in areas where it is not needed, the face can look larger and less defined.

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

the face can look smaller and more youthful with three-dimensional contours.

At DM Plastic Surgery, we balance the entire face

and create a vivid three-dimensional look with smooth volume.

What makes DM Plastic Surgery’s fat grafting special?

At DM Plastic Surgery,

through sufficient consultation with plastic surgery specialists who have extensive clinical experience,

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

providing a customized procedure that enhances volume and satisfaction.

By harvesting fresh fat instead of frozen fat, we lowered the risk of side effects,

and by using fat grafting equipment, we increased the survival rate.

By injecting a uniform amount of fat to improve elasticity and having an experienced

plastic surgery specialist perform the procedure directly, we minimize damage to the skin and tissues,

allowing a quicker return to daily life.

How is it different from general fat grafting?

DM Plastic Surgery’s fat grafting is performed using a low-injection method, so even if swelling occurs,

it can still look natural and allows for a quicker return to daily life.

In addition, considering each person’s skin, fat, facial muscles, soft tissue and thickness,

location, and skin elasticity, a plastic surgery specialist establishes a 1:1 customized plan and performs the procedure directly.

Because it is a customized procedure, it can create a pretty and natural look even when you are sitting still or making facial expressions such as smiling.

As mentioned above, the low-injection method that finely injects small amounts at a time stabilizes blood vessel formation,

increases the survival rate, and can help prevent skin sagging early, reducing concerns about facial laxity.

The patient had been concerned about looking tired because the face lacked overall volume and visited our clinic.

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

and you can see in the photos how it changed into a lively, youthful-looking face.

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

What is the facial fat grafting procedure at DM Plastic Surgery like?

After sufficient consultation before surgery, a 1:1 customized plan is established,

and the procedure is directly performed by a plastic surgery specialist.

Using a centrifuge, unnecessary fat is harvested from the thighs or abdomen,

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

People with a sharp, harsh impression due to an angular face,

people who want to improve their facial line without contour surgery,

people worried about side effects from implants,

people who want a softer facial line,

people whose faces lack volume and appear older,

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

At DM Plastic Surgery, fat grafting is recommended for these types of patients.

Liposuction is relatively difficult even among general cosmetic surgeries,

and it is one of the procedures that requires long-standing expertise and extensive experience with a wide variety 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. For that reason, you should consult with medical professionals who have rich clinical experience

before undergoing the procedure in order to achieve satisfying results.
