PRP Fat Graft
Enhance Natural Facial Rejuvenation Through the Combination of Fat Grafting and PRP
Overview
Modern facial rejuvenation is no longer focused only on tightening the skin or adding volume. A youthful appearance depends on restoring harmony between:
- Facial volume
- Skin quality
- Tissue health
- Natural facial proportions
Fat Grafting is one of the most natural methods of restoring facial volume because it uses the patient’s own fat tissue. However, the quality of the transferred fat, the healing environment, and the survival of transplanted fat cells are important factors that influence the final outcome.
PRP Fat Grafting is an advanced technique that combines traditional Fat Grafting with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), which is prepared from the patient’s own blood.
At Sketch Plastic Surgery Korea, PRP may be used together with Fat Grafting to support the healing process and provide an optimized environment for transplanted fat tissue.
The goal is to achieve:
- Natural-looking volume restoration
- Improved tissue quality
- Smooth facial contour
- Harmonious rejuvenation using the patient’s own biological materials
What Is PRP Fat Grafting?
PRP Fat Grafting combines two regenerative techniques:
Fat is collected from areas such as:
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Flanks
The fat is carefully processed and purified before being injected into areas of the face that require volume restoration.
Common treatment areas include:
- Forehead
- Temples
- Cheeks
- Under-eyes
- Smile line area
- Overall facial volume deficiency
PRP is prepared from the patient’s own blood.
Blood contains platelets that play an important role in the body’s natural healing process. During PRP preparation, a concentrated amount of platelets and growth factors are separated from the blood and prepared for use.
When combined with Fat Grafting, PRP is intended to support:
- Tissue healing
- Regenerative environment
- Skin quality improvement
- Recovery after surgery
Because PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood, it is a personalized and natural approach.
How Is PRP Fat Grafting Performed?
The procedure generally involves several steps:
A small amount of the patient’s blood is collected.
The blood is processed through centrifugation to separate the platelet-rich portion.
Fat is gently collected from areas with available fat tissue.
The harvested fat is purified to isolate healthy fat cells suitable for transplantation.
The prepared PRP is combined with the processed fat, and the mixture is carefully injected into selected facial areas.
The injection technique and placement are customized according to each patient’s facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
What Can PRP Fat Grafting Improve?
PRP Fat Grafting can be considered for patients who want:
It can improve areas affected by volume loss, including:
- Hollow temples
- Flat cheeks
- Sunken forehead
- Under-eye hollowness
- Facial thinning
Because PRP contains concentrated platelets and growth factors, it may help support improvement in:
- Skin texture
- Skin vitality
- Overall skin appearance
This can be especially beneficial when combined with Nano Fat Grafting for delicate facial areas.
Unlike synthetic fillers, Fat Grafting uses the patient’s own tissue, allowing results that feel and move naturally.
The goal is not to create an artificial fullness but to restore youthful facial balance.
PRP Fat Grafting Combined With Nano Fat Grafting
For patients with both volume loss and skin quality concerns, PRP Fat Grafting may be combined with Nano Fat Grafting.
This combination allows treatment of different layers of facial aging:
Structural Fat Grafting
Focuses on restoring volume in areas such as:
- Forehead
- Temples
- Cheeks
- Midface
Nano Fat Grafting
Focuses on delicate areas such as:
- Under-eyes
- Fine wrinkles
- Thin skin areas
Together, they can provide:
- Improved facial contour
- Better skin quality
- More comprehensive rejuvenation
PRP Fat Grafting Combined With Other Procedures
Facial aging usually involves multiple changes, which is why PRP Fat Grafting is often performed together with other procedures.
Common combinations include:
A facelift addresses sagging tissues, while Fat Grafting restores lost volume.
Together, they can improve both:
- Facial lifting
- Volume deficiency
For patients with under-eye aging, combining PRP Fat Grafting with:
- Lower Blepharoplasty
- Under-Eye Fat Repositioning
- SOOF Lift
can provide more complete rejuvenation by addressing:
- Eyebags
- Hollow areas
- Skin quality
- Lid-cheek transition
For patients requiring overall facial restoration, PRP can be combined with Full Face Fat Grafting to support a comprehensive rejuvenation approach.
PRP Fat Grafting vs Traditional Fat Grafting
Both procedures use the patient’s own fat tissue.
Main purpose:
- Restore facial volume
Suitable for:
- Hollow areas
- Facial contour improvement
- Volume deficiency
Main purpose:
- Combine volume restoration with PRP-supported healing
Suitable for patients who want:
- Fat transfer with an additional regenerative approach
- Improvement of tissue quality
- A more comprehensive rejuvenation strategy
The best method depends on each patient’s facial condition and aesthetic goals.
Anesthesia, Procedure Time & Recovery
At Sketch Plastic Surgery Korea, PRP Fat Grafting is usually performed with Sleep Sedation with Local Anesthesia. If combined with larger procedures, anesthesia type may vary depending on the treatment plan.
The procedure time depends on:
- Number of treated areas
- Amount of fat transfer required
- Additional procedures performed
Patients may experience:
- Facial swelling
- Mild bruising
- Temporary fullness
- Swelling at the fat harvesting area
Most visible swelling improves within 1 to 2 weeks, while the final refinement continues over several months as the fat settles naturally.
