Why patients choose facial fat grafting

  • Harvesting fat from areas such as the abdomen or thighs
  • Processing and purifying collected fat

  • Hollow temples
  • Under-eye hollowness

Restoring Natural Facial Volume and Youthful Contours at T&T Plastic Surgery Seomyeon

As the face ages, natural fat volume gradually decreases, leading to hollow areas, flatter contours, and a tired-looking appearance. Facial Fat Grafting is a rejuvenation procedure that uses the patient's own fat to restore lost volume, improve facial balance, and create softer, more youthful contours while maintaining natural-looking results.

At T&T Plastic Surgery Seomyeon, each facial fat grafting procedure is customized according to facial structure, volume loss patterns, skin condition, and individual aesthetic goals. The clinic focuses on restoring harmony and enhancing natural features for both local and international patients.

How it works

How Is Facial Fat Grafting Performed?

Facial Fat Grafting is performed through several carefully planned steps.

The amount and placement of fat are customized to achieve natural facial balance.

  1. Fat Harvesting – Fat is collected from a suitable donor area using gentle liposuction techniques.
  2. Fat Purification – The collected fat is processed to separate high-quality fat cells.
  3. Fat Injection – Purified fat is carefully placed into specific facial areas to restore volume and improve contours.
