Creating Natural Volume with Facial Fat Grafting

<Actual facial fat grafting case from DM Plastic Surgery>

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

and wrinkles may appear deeper, making you look older than you actually are.

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

you can achieve a lively, three-dimensional, youthful image.

As aging begins and facial volume keeps diminishing, along with a loss of firmness,

a growing number of people visit us to improve their appearance into a plump, youthful look, and those who are concerned about their facial contours because they naturally have a thin face also come in for facial shape correction. Because the procedure can be performed on various areas, it is possible to inject fat into the needed areas and address these symptoms and concerns.

We would like to introduce DM Plastic Surgery’s facial fat grafting, which helps improve 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 harvested from your own body, such as the buttocks, thighs, or abdomen, and then transplanted into areas of the face that lack volume. It is a surgery that can increase the three-dimensional quality and volume of the entire face, helping improve it into a more youthful-looking face.

In general fat grafting, any remaining fat after the first grafting is frozen and stored for use in a second procedure. However, in such cases, when frozen fat cells are reused, the survival rate is lower than in the first grafting, and the risk of inflammation increases. At DM Plastic Surgery, even for the second procedure, fresh fat that has not been frozen is harvested and used, reducing side effects and increasing the survival rate of the fat, thereby improving patient satisfaction.

The location is the most important factor in facial fat

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 a lack of volume stands out especially when taking photos, and if areas that should have dimension look flat, the overall face line may appear less smooth and make you look older. If excess fat is present in areas where it is not needed, the face may look larger and lose its three-dimensionality. However, if the temples, front cheekbones, cheeks, and nasolabial folds have an appropriate amount of fat, the face can appear smaller and more youthful with dimension.

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

What makes DM Plastic Surgery’s fat grafting special!

At DM Plastic Surgery,

through sufficient consultation with plastic surgery specialists with extensive clinical experience, we assess each individual’s face and perform fat grafting only in the necessary areas, carrying out customized surgery that enhances volume and satisfaction.

By harvesting fresh fat instead of using 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 firmness and through the direct operation of a plastic surgery specialist with extensive know-how, we minimize damage to the skin and tissues, allowing for a quick return to daily life.

How is it different from ordinary fat grafting?

DM Plastic Surgery’s fat grafting is performed using a low-injection method, so even if swelling occurs, it can still be presented naturally, allowing for a quick return to daily life. In addition, a plastic surgery specialist establishes a 1:1 customized plan and performs the procedure directly, considering each individual’s skin, fat, facial muscles, facial soft tissue and thickness, position, and skin elasticity. Because the surgery is customized, it can provide a beautiful and natural look even when you are expressionless or smiling.

With the low-injection method mentioned earlier, which micro-injects small amounts at a time, we stabilize blood vessel formation, raise the survival rate, and help prevent skin sagging early, reducing concerns about facial sagging.

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

Before surgery, a 1:1 customized plan is established through sufficient consultation, and the procedure is directly performed 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 area.

For those who have a sharp facial impression due to an angular face, 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 face lacks volume and therefore looks older, and those who want lasting results rather than the temporary effects of a mini cosmetic procedure,

DM Plastic Surgery recommends fat grafting for these types of patients.

Among general plastic surgery procedures, liposuction is relatively difficult, 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 removed, it must be done carefully and safely to reduce future liposuction side effects. That is why you should consult with medical staff with extensive clinical experience before proceeding with surgery to achieve satisfying results.
