Stem Cell Fat Grafting is an advanced approach to facial rejuvenation that combines traditional fat transfer with a blood-derived stem cell treatment. It is designed to restore natural facial volume while supporting skin regeneration.
At Sketch Plastic Surgery Korea, stem cells for this treatment are obtained from the patient’s blood, rather than extracted from adipose fat. By combining fat grafting with this blood-derived regenerative component, the treatment aims to improve the survival of transferred fat while supporting the skin’s natural repair and rejuvenation processes.
This combination is intended to address two important aspects of facial aging: the loss of underlying volume and changes in skin quality. The goal is to achieve natural-looking fullness while supporting healthier-looking, revitalized skin.
Traditional Fat Grafting uses the patient’s own fat to restore volume in areas that appear hollow, sunken, or depleted. However, some of the transferred fat is naturally reabsorbed by the body, and the amount of fat that survives varies from person to person.
Stem Cell Fat Grafting combines fat transfer with a regenerative treatment component prepared from the patient’s blood. The blood-derived component is intended to support tissue repair and the local environment in which the transferred fat must establish a blood supply and survive.
This combined approach aims to improve fat graft retention while providing additional regenerative support for the skin. The extent of these benefits depends on the cell preparation, treatment technique, and individual healing response.
Blood is collected from the patient and processed using the clinic’s designated technology to prepare the blood-derived regenerative component. This component is incorporated into the treatment plan according to the clinic’s protocol.
Fat is carefully harvested from a suitable donor area, commonly the abdomen or thighs. The collected fat is then processed to prepare it for transfer.
The prepared fat is injected into selected facial areas to restore lost volume and create smoother, more balanced contours. Careful placement is important for achieving natural-looking results.
The blood-derived stem cell preparation is used in combination with the fat-grafting procedure, according to the clinic’s protocol. This regenerative component is intended to support tissue recovery and skin regeneration, while the combined treatment aims to improve the retention of transferred fat.
Improved Fat Graft Survival
One of the main goals of combining fat grafting with stem cell treatment is to improve the survival and retention of transferred fat. Supporting the tissue environment around the graft may help maintain the restored volume. Actual fat retention varies depending on individual biology, injection technique, and the specific regenerative preparation used.
Skin Regeneration and Rejuvenation
The blood-derived regenerative component is intended to support the skin’s natural repair processes. Depending on the cell preparation and available clinical evidence, this may contribute to improvements in skin quality and a more refreshed appearance.
Natural-Looking Facial Volume
Using the patient’s own fat allows volume to be restored in areas such as the forehead, temples, cheeks, and under-eye hollows. Treatment is customized to complement the patient’s natural facial proportions.
A Dual Approach to Facial Rejuvenation
By addressing both volume loss and skin regeneration, Stem Cell Fat Grafting offers a combined approach to facial rejuvenation rather than focusing on volume restoration alone.
Stem Cell Fat Grafting may be considered for patients who:
A consultation is necessary to assess facial anatomy, donor-fat availability, general health, and the suitability of the blood-derived treatment.
Recovery depends on the extent of fat grafting and any additional procedures performed. Temporary swelling, bruising, and tightness may occur in the treated areas, while the donor site may also experience bruising or discomfort.
Some transferred fat is naturally reabsorbed during healing. The remaining volume gradually stabilizes over the following months, although the amount retained differs between patients. Skin-related outcomes may also vary according to the regenerative preparation and individual response.
Although the combination is intended to improve fat survival and support skin regeneration, the degree of improvement cannot be guaranteed. Additional treatment may be considered depending on the patient’s final results and goals.
At Sketch Plastic Surgery Korea, facial rejuvenation is approached with an emphasis on natural-looking results and individualized treatment planning.
Our Stem Cell Fat Grafting approach combines the patient’s own fat with a regenerative treatment component derived from blood. By addressing facial volume loss alongside skin regeneration, the treatment is designed to support a more comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation.
Each treatment plan is tailored to the patient’s facial structure, skin condition, and aesthetic goals, with guidance for international patients throughout their treatment journey.
Stem Cell Fat Grafting at Sketch Plastic Surgery Korea combines facial volume restoration with a blood-derived regenerative treatment approach. For suitable patients, this combination aims to improve fat graft retention while supporting the skin’s natural repair processes.
