Facial Fat Grafting: How Can You Achieve a Small, Three-Dimensional Face?

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

and deep wrinkles may make you look older than your actual age.

If there is an appropriate amount of fat in the areas that need facial volume,

a lively and three-dimensional youthful appearance can be achieved.

As aging begins, more people visit because of thinning facial volume and a lack of elasticity,

and people who are concerned about their facial lines due to a naturally thin face shape also come in

for facial contour correction. Since the procedure can be performed on various areas, injecting fat into the necessary

areas can help 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 people 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 then the harvested fat is grafted into areas of the face that lack volume, increasing the overall three-dimensionality and fullness of the face and helping improve it into a more youthful appearance.

In general fat grafting, any remaining fat after the first grafting is frozen and used for 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 during a second procedure, fresh, unfrozen fat is harvested and used, reducing side effects while increasing fat survival and improving customer satisfaction.

The Face, Where Location 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 dimension look flat, the overall face line can appear less smooth and make you look older.

If there is excessive fat in areas where it is not needed, the face can look larger and less dimensional. However, if there is an appropriate amount of fat in the temples, front cheekbones, cheeks, and nasolabial folds,

the face can appear smaller and become a youthful face with dimension.

At DM Plastic Surgery, we balance the entire face to create vivid dimension 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,

the individual facial structure is assessed and fat grafting is performed only on the areas that need it,

resulting in a customized procedure that increases volume and satisfaction.

By harvesting fresh fat instead of using frozen fat, the risk of side effects is reduced,

and fat grafting equipment is used to improve the survival rate.

By injecting a uniform amount of fat to increase elasticity and having an experienced plastic surgery specialist perform the procedure directly to minimize skin and tissue damage, a quick return to daily life is possible.

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, a natural result can be achieved and a quick return to daily life is possible. In addition, taking into account each person’s skin, fat, facial muscles, soft tissue and thickness of the face, and skin elasticity in the area, a plastic surgery specialist establishes and personally performs a 1:1 customized plan. Because a customized procedure is performed, it can create a beautiful and natural look even when you are still or smiling.

With the low-injection method mentioned above, where small amounts are precisely injected,

blood vessel formation is stabilized, increasing the survival rate and allowing early prevention of skin sagging,

which reduces 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.

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

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

People with a square face and a harsh impression,

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

those worried about side effects from implants,

those who want a softer facial line,

those who look older due to a lack of facial volume,

and those who want lasting results rather than the temporary effects of a minor cosmetic procedure.

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

Liposuction is relatively difficult even among general plastic surgeries,

and it is one of the procedures that requires extensive know-how and experience with a wide range of cases.

No matter how small the amount of fat being removed, the procedure must be carried out carefully and safely to reduce later side effects of liposuction,

so you should consult with medical professionals who have extensive clinical experience before proceeding in order to achieve satisfying results.
