Fat grafting, a highlight of rejuvenation surgery: procedural expertise is important for a higher graft survival rate
A voluminous face looks bright and lively and creates an ideal face shape that makes you look younger than your age.
Therefore, micro-fat grafting, which can add volume to the face, is becoming very popular among office workers who prefer a youthful image.
Micro-fat grafting is a procedure in which only pure fat is collected through a centrifuge and injected into the face. It is characterized by increasing the engraftment rate by evenly placing small fat grains in several layers.
Because it enhances the overall three-dimensional effect of the face, you can expect an excellent youthful effect.
In order to increase the engraftment rate of micro-fat grafting, it is necessary to accurately understand the structure of the face and transplant an appropriate amount of fat at the correct location, taking into account various fat layers and fat compartments.
Simply injecting a lot of fat does not increase the engraftment rate.
Injecting small amounts of fat repeatedly is more effective than injecting a large amount of fat at once.
If you inject too much fat to achieve a high engraftment rate, you may experience side effects such as a burdensome and unnatural facial shape or prolonged swelling.
JAYJUN Plastic Surgery Chief Medical Director Park Hyungjoon said, “High engraftment rate and natural surgical results are important for micro-fat grafting.”
“To make the skin surface smooth and elastic through delicate fat injection, you must undergo surgery by a plastic surgeon with experienced surgical know-how,” he said.
