‘Pure Cell Fat Grafting’ to maximize the satisfaction of the result

Fat Grafting is one of the main plastic surgeries that help to improve the facial volume by injecting fat into sunken areas or nasolabial fold that make people look old.

People usually think that they use fat from the abdomen or thigh to be extracted. However, high-fiber fat from those areas such as the abdomen, inner thigh, and so on is not really used for the fat graft. Mostly fat is extracted from the outer thigh which is called ‘Saddlebag’. The extracted fat is injected into the forehead, under the eye, frontal cheek, nasolabial fold, mentum, or any other area of the face. It improves not only facial volume but also skin elasticity, fine wrinkles, and so on.

What is the difference between Fat Graft and Filler?

The filler is a simple procedure and has a quick recovery time compared to a fat graft. However, it does not last and there is a possibility of having a foreign body reaction. On the other hand, a fat graft does not cause a foreign body reaction and is semi-permanent. People who are repulsed by filler or any artificial implant but want natural-looking facial volume at the same time, prefer to go for fat graft better. 

Extraction of Pure Fat

The ‘Engraftment rate’ is the most important in a fat graft which means of survival rate of the injected fat. If extracted fat includes any impurities that were not completely filtered, the patient might face side effects such as fibrosis, skin necrosis, and so on. It is very important to filter pure fat to increase the engraftment rate and for safety since fat including moisture and impurities tends to lopsided easily by slight pressure which causes low engraftment rate.

Fat Injection into Multiple Layers Evenly

In order to settle the fat with the high engraftment rate with smooth and natural volume, it is necessary to inject it into multiple layers evenly.

 

Natural-Looking Voluminous Face, Pure Cell Fat Graft

You might have seen a few people who had fat graft in an inexperienced clinic resulting in fat injected areas went back again. It happens when the surgeon injected too much fat at once. If you are considering to have a fat graft, it is very important to find a clinic with extensive experience for years with a successful outcome.

 

After the operation, we recommend you avoid high-frequency facial treatment, Korean dry sauna, or using either cold or hot pack massage since those breakdown fats. Sleeping on your stomach or strong pressure on the face is not helpful either to improve the fat graft survival rate.
