What is Face Fat Grafting?
Fat grafting is a procedure in which the patient’s own fat is harvested and injected to gently improve the three-dimensional appearance and volume of the facial structure.
If the facial area is flat or lacks volume, some people may think it necessary to directly reshape the bones through facial contouring surgery. However, this can often be challenging. In such cases, fat grafting can be employed to smooth the facial contour and add a three-dimensional effect, thus making the face appear smaller. Increasing facial volume through this approach can also lend a more youthful appearance.

How is Face Fat Grafting Done?
During the process of a face fat grafting procedure, a fat-dissolving solution is injected into the extraction site to break down the fat, which is then extracted. This fat is then injected into the desired treatment area using a syringe, to enhance volume or improve tissue in the area.
Having a good retention rate of grafted fat is a key aspect of a face fat graft, and the key to successful fat grafting lies in careful surgical planning based on the patient’s facial balance, structure, and unique characteristics. Here at ThePLUS we adopt a strategy of enhancing specific areas with fat in targeted amounts rather than indiscriminately adding large quantities of fat, which could result in an unnatural-looking face. Achieving good results and a high retention rate from fat grafting requires considering the three-dimensional effect on the entire face, not just filling an area with fat because it has lost volume.
Where is Fat Extracted From?
The preferred extraction sites for a face fat graft are the abdomen (most preferred), or the inner and outer thighs. Fat extraction from other parts of the body are possible, but not recommended as the fat survival rate of those areas is lower. However, by combining the fat with PRP (platelet rich plasma) or autologous stem cells, the fat survival rate can be further increased, and overall results improved.
