"Facial volume is a key factor
that changes overall impression."
In the face—which largely determines first impressions—
lack of cheek volume, deep nasolabial folds,
and hollow under-eye areas can create a tired appearance.
In such cases, facial fat grafting can be an effective solution.
Through a real patient case,
let’s take a closer look at how facial fat grafting
can transform one’s appearance.

"Before Surgery"
• Sunken appearance in the front cheekbones and forehead
• Flat-looking facial contours
• Overall fatigued impression
Using pure autologous fat combined with PRP,
the goal was to improve facial dimension and volume.

Results and recovery may vary depending on the individual.
"Facial Fat Grafting Procedure"
1) Design of volume-required areas after consultation
2) Fat harvesting from the thigh, buttocks, or abdomen
3) Centrifugation of harvested fat to extract pure fat and PRP growth factors
4) Preparation of graft material by mixing pure fat with PRP to enhance survival rate
5) Precise and even injection into the subcutaneous fat layer

"3 Weeks After Facial Fat Grafting"
Facial fat grafting at Ruho Plastic Surgery
is a procedure that fundamentally enhances
facial dimension and overall impression.
Immediately after the procedure,
the face may appear overly full,
but as time passes, some fat is naturally absorbed,
resulting in a softer, more natural look.
At three weeks post-operation,
you can see that the fat has settled naturally,
restoring healthy facial volume.

Results and recovery may vary depending on the individual.
"4 Weeks After Surgery"
By the fourth week,
the volume stabilizes, creating a smoother
and more refined facial impression.
Our clinic uses autologous tissue,
resulting in minimal foreign-body sensation
and a low risk of immune rejection.
To ensure proper fat retention,
we perform fat grafting combined
with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma),
as sufficient blood supply is essential
for successful fat engraftment.
"Final Thoughts"
Facial fat grafting can offer
a more natural and long-lasting effect
compared to fillers or collagen boosters.
However, it is a technically demanding procedure
that requires careful consideration of
fat distribution and survival rate.
Where the fat is placed, how much is injected,
and the condition of the fat itself
all play a critical role in creating a firm, youthful impression.
Experience a new transformation
through precisely planned facial fat grafting.
