Key points of facial fat grafting at DOY JUN Plastic Surgery
Long-lasting “high-density fat survival”
PRP is combined with pure fat cells to maximize fat survival. The fat isn't easily absorbed, so the volume lasts a long time.
Delicate fat grafting to reduce clumping
Fat is injected in ultra-fine particles, layer by layer, for a smooth, even result and a lower risk of side effects such as calcification and lumpiness.
Custom cannulas
We use fine, blunt-tipped cannulas instead of sharp needles. They protect blood vessels and nerves, so there is noticeably less bruising and swelling, and recovery is faster.
“Volume design” that isn't overdone
We don't simply add as much as possible. We analyze your facial features and fill only the areas that need it, creating natural dimension without an artificial look.
