Face Fat Grafting Overview

Face fat grafting (also called facial fat transfer) is a natural volumizing procedure that uses a patient’s own fat to restore youthful contours, soften hollows, and improve overall facial balance. At UE Plastic Surgery in Seoul, the focus is on precise fat placement and conservative volume planning for long-lasting, natural-looking results.

Why Face Fat Grafting at UE Plastic Surgery

  • Autologous fat use (your own fat, no synthetic fillers)
  • Tailored volume design based on facial proportions
  • Micro-fat injection techniques for smoother integration
  • Balanced, non-overdone outcomes
  • Foreigner-friendly consultations with multilingual support

UE Plastic Surgery is officially listed by Korea Tourism and is experienced in treating international patients seeking natural facial rejuvenation.

Common Treatment Areas

  • Forehead and temples
  • Under-eye hollows
  • Cheeks and mid-face
  • Nasolabial folds
  • Chin and jawline refinement

Fat grafting can be performed as a standalone procedure or combined with other facial surgeries for enhanced harmony.

Who Is a Good Candidate

  • Individuals with facial volume loss due to aging
  • Patients seeking long-term volume instead of temporary fillers
  • Those preferring natural materials over synthetic injectables
  • Patients undergoing facial contouring or rhinoplasty who want overall balance

Procedure Process

  1. Consultation & facial analysis
  2. Fat harvesting from areas such as abdomen or thighs
  3. Purification and refinement of harvested fat
  4. Strategic micro-injection into target facial zones

The procedure is typically performed under sedation or anesthesia, depending on the treatment plan.

Recovery & Results

  • Mild swelling or bruising during the first 1–2 weeks
  • Gradual stabilization of fat over several months
  • Long-lasting volume with proper integration
  • Results appear soft, natural, and facially balanced

Some patients may require a secondary touch-up depending on fat retention.

UE Plastic Surgery is located along Gangnam-daero, Seoul, with direct access from Sinsa Station Exit 6, making it convenient for both local and international visitors.
