Facial fat graft
This simple procedure is also commonly known as fat transfer. This procedure is minimally invasive and effective for anti-aging and skin rejuvenation. Fat graft is performed to improve volume and shape on not only the face but also the body (such as breasts and buttocks). This procedure is the safest as it utilizes autologous (one’s own) fat. Harvested fat from the donor site (usually thighs or abdomen) is grafted to recipient area(s) on the face such as the forehead, upper eyelids, lower eyelids, temples, nasolabial folds (smile lines), and chin. Fat graft results in a 3-dimensional and fresh face. After the fat is grafted, it is important to abstain from tobacco and maintain body weight. This will help the grafted fat to survive and settle completely. PRP and stem cell is also used to increase the fat survival rate. If necessary, it is completely safe to perform more than one session of fat graft.
