Fat Graft (Fat Graft)
Fat is harvested from your own body, purified, and grafted into areas lacking volume for a more three-dimensional face.
Fat Graft, In short?
Fat grafting harvests fat from your own body, refines it to the pure fat, and grafts it where volume is lacking, finishing a more three-dimensional, youthful face.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the take rate of fat grafting?
The take rate of fat grafting is 50–80%, varying from person to person. Refined pure fat is grafted, and the degree of take is confirmed at follow-up.
After fat grafting, can the surface become uneven?
Grafting in several layers with an ultra-fine cannula (0.2–0.3mm) reduces the chance of an uneven surface.
Does the fat-harvest site scar?
With a small incision of 2–3mm, the scar is barely visible.
Can fat grafting be repeated?
Yes. Additional grafting is possible once 3 months or more have passed since the first.
