Fat grafting is a popular procedure for restoring facial volume using the patient’s own fat. However, not all transferred fat survives after injection. The final result depends on several factors, including fat processing, injection technique, tissue healing, and the establishment of an adequate blood supply around the grafted fat.
At Sketch Plastic Surgery Korea, Stem Cell Fat Grafting combines conventional fat transfer with a blood-derived stem cell treatment component, designed to support fat graft survival and the body’s natural regenerative processes.
By combining the patient’s own fat with this regenerative treatment approach, the procedure aims to create a more supportive environment for the transferred fat to establish itself in the recipient tissue. The goal is to maintain natural-looking volume while supporting tissue recovery and skin regeneration.
Blood is collected from the patient and processed using the clinic’s designated technology to prepare the blood-derived cell component. This preparation is intended to provide regenerative support as part of the overall treatment.
Fat is carefully harvested from a suitable donor area, commonly the abdomen or thighs. The collected fat is processed to prepare it for transfer.
The prepared fat is carefully injected into selected areas, such as the forehead, temples, cheeks, or under-eye hollows. Precise placement helps create balanced contours and supports the conditions needed for the transferred fat to survive.
The blood-derived stem cell preparation is incorporated according to the clinic’s treatment protocol. This combination aims to support the local regenerative environment and improve the survival and retention of the transferred fat.
Improved Fat Graft Survival
The primary goal 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 restored volume, although actual fat retention varies between individuals.
Natural-Looking, Lasting Volume
Using the patient’s own fat allows volume to be restored while maintaining natural facial contours. The amount of volume retained depends on individual healing, treatment technique, and the biological response of the transferred fat.
Support for Tissue Healing and Regeneration
The blood-derived regenerative component is intended to support tissue-repair processes and skin regeneration alongside volume restoration.
Personalized Facial Rejuvenation
Treatment can be tailored to areas affected by volume loss, including the forehead, temples, cheeks, and under-eye hollows, according to the patient’s facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Stem Cell Fat Grafting may be considered for patients who:
A consultation is necessary to assess the patient’s anatomy, medical history, donor-fat availability, and suitability for the proposed treatment.
Temporary swelling, bruising, and tightness may occur in the treated areas, while the fat-harvesting site may also experience bruising or discomfort. Swelling gradually subsides, and facial contours continue to settle over the following months.
Some transferred fat is naturally reabsorbed by the body. The amount retained varies depending on individual healing, fat-processing methods, injection technique, and other factors.
Stem Cell Fat Grafting is designed to support fat survival and tissue regeneration, but improved retention cannot be guaranteed. Your surgeon will provide personalized aftercare instructions and advise whether additional treatment may be appropriate once the results have stabilized.
At Sketch Plastic Surgery Korea, Stem Cell Fat Grafting combines facial volume restoration with a blood-derived regenerative treatment approach. For suitable patients, the goal is to support the survival of transferred fat while achieving balanced, natural-looking contours.
