Why Facial Fat Grafting Shouldn’t Always Be Overfilled!

Facial Fat Grafting: Why It Shouldn’t Always Be

Overfilled!

Hello, this is DM Plastic Surgery🥰

Do you look somewhat gaunt whenever you look in the mirror,

or are you often asked if you’re tired?

As time passes, the volume in the front cheeks, outer cheekbones, temples,

and nasolabial fold areas can become noticeably hollow.

When the youthful fullness and fat in the face decrease like this,

the underlying bone structure becomes more prominent, making the facial contours look less smooth

and creating an appearance that looks older than your actual age or seems sharper😢

If the cause is not simply sagging skin but a lack of facial “volume” itself,

facial fat grafting can be an excellent solution for creating

a softer, more vibrant facial contour without touching the bones.

Today, we would like to talk about facial fat grafting at DM Plastic Surgery,

which fills in a previously flat appearance and brings vitality to the face😊

We’ll take a look at what facial fat grafting is, whether it is better to make the face as full as possible,

and how to avoid the potential side effects of facial fat grafting!👀

💡 What Is Facial Fat Grafting?

Many people commonly misunderstand facial fat grafting

as “a procedure that excessively inflates the face.”

However, true facial fat grafting is not simply about increasing size!

Fat that is not needed from areas such as the abdomen or thighs is harvested

and appropriately filled only into hollow and sunken areas of the face,

restoring overall balance and three-dimensional definition.

When volume is added to the areas that need it,

the viewer’s attention is drawn toward the center, making the face look much smaller

and creating the visual effect of a slimmer appearance👀✨

💡 DM’s Special “Fresh Fat Grafting”

When fat grafting is performed,

remaining fat after the first procedure is sometimes frozen

and thawed for reuse during a second procedure.

However, reusing frozen fat significantly reduces the take rate

and inevitably increases the risk of inflammation😔

That is why DM Plastic Surgery does not use frozen fat at all

even during a second procedure🙅🏻‍♀️

Because only unfrozen “fresh fat” is harvested

and grafted each time, concerns about side effects can be reduced,

while maximizing the take rate for a beautiful, natural result

and increasing patient satisfaction.

💡 A Natural “Low-Volume Injection Method,”

As If It Were Originally Yours

At DM Plastic Surgery, we do not focus solely

on filling empty areas with fat.

Rather than injecting as much as possible, a board-certified plastic surgeon develops a personalized 1:1 plan

that takes into account each person’s different skin thickness, the movement of their facial expression muscles, and skin elasticity,

and performs the procedure personally.

In particular, we use a “low-volume injection method” that involves injecting small amounts with precision.

This helps stabilize blood vessel formation, improving the take rate,

and can also help prevent skin sagging at an early stage.

We believe it is most important to create a beautiful and natural look

that feels as if it were originally yours—not only when your face is expressionless,

but also when you smile broadly or make facial expressions🌷✨

💡 We Recommend Facial Fat Grafting at DM

For People Who:

▪️ Want softer facial contours

▪️ Look older than their age because of severely hollow areas

▪️ Have a harsh-looking impression because of angular facial features

▪️ Want to improve their facial contours without bone-cutting contouring surgery

▪️ Are concerned about the side effects of implants

▪️ Were disappointed by the short duration of minimally invasive cosmetic procedures

DM Plastic Surgery recommends facial fat grafting

for people with these concerns.

Although the change is not excessive, you can expect a softer

and more youthful-looking first impression🥰

💡 Recovery and Precautions—

Please Be Sure to Remember These!

Facial fat grafting itself is important, but the results can also vary greatly

depending on how you manage yourself after the procedure.

For the carefully placed fat to settle beautifully into your face,

there are several precautions you need to follow😊

✔ Swelling and bruising are a natural part of the process🧊

Swelling may feel most severe on the second or third day after surgery.

At this time, it is best to avoid overexertion and get plenty of rest.

Although this varies from person to person, after about a week,

major swelling will subside and you should be able to resume daily activities✨

✔ Do not press or rub your face forcefully🙅‍♀️

Until the grafted fat has taken and fully settled,

it is very vulnerable to external stimulation.

Strong pressure on the face, such as receiving a facial massage or sleeping face down,

may cause the fat to spread or alter its shape.

When sleeping, we recommend using a slightly elevated pillow

and lying down in a proper position🛌

✔ Avoiding smoking and alcohol is essential, not optional🚭🍷

Alcohol and cigarettes constrict blood vessels and cause inflammation,

making them major obstacles to the survival of fat cells.

For healthy and beautiful volume, please avoid them for at least one month❗

You may carefully begin washing your face and applying light makeup

according to the clinic’s instructions,

and since strenuous exercise can raise the temperature of your face,

it is best to avoid it for about a month💦
