Looking for a natural, longer-lasting way to refresh volume and soften lines without looking “done”? Facial fat transfer (also called fat grafting) at Fresh Dr. Hong Clinic in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam uses your own purified fat to restore youthful contours with subtle, seamless results.

Why choose Fresh Dr. Hong Clinic?

• Signature “Diamond Line” approach: a design philosophy that follows golden-ratio aesthetics to harmonize the forehead, cheekbones, midface, and jawline for balanced, natural results.
• Advanced technique stack: micro-to-full-layer “MESH” fat placement (FAMI + all-layer grafting) using a range of fine cannulas (17G–25G) to improve retention and smoothness; PRP may be added to support graft survival.
• Patient-friendly protocol: twilight sedation with local anesthesia, tiny entry points (no external stitches), and typically minimal downtime for day-to-day activity.*

*Recovery varies by patient and areas treated.

What it treats (common areas)

Forehead and temples, glabella, cheekbones & apple cheeks, smile lines, and chin—targeted to lift hollows, soften shadows, and refine face shape.

Good candidates

• Noticeable facial hollowing or tired look
• Mild asymmetry or flat/boxy contours
• Preference for autologous (your own) fat over synthetic fillers
• Desire for natural volume with conservative, quick-recovery care

How the procedure works

1. Gentle fat harvest from the abdomen or thighs → 2) Purification by centrifugation → 3) Optional PRP mixing → 4) Layered micro-injections with specialized cannulas to sculpt 3D volume where it counts.



At-a-glance details

• Anesthesia: Twilight + local
• Time: ~60–90 minutes
• Stitches: None (tiny entry points)
• Downtime: Typically minimal; everyday life often possible the next day*

Costs in Seoul (typical ranges)

Exact pricing depends on areas, technique (e.g., nano-fat/PRP), and complexity. As a general Seoul reference, facial fat transfer commonly ranges ~₩2.4M–₩4.2M (single vs full face) based on published clinic fee schedules, and international aggregators list average Seoul pricing around $1,900 (≈₩2.5M). Always confirm with the clinic during consultation.

Aftercare tips (what patients usually do)

• Sleep slightly elevated for a few nights; avoid pressure on treated zones
• Expect temporary swelling; final blending appears over weeks
• Keep incisions (harvest points) clean and follow ointment/cover-care as advised
• Plan touch-ups only if needed after the graft has stabilized (often 3–6 months)

Compare with fillers

• Fat transfer: uses your own tissue; can age with you and last longer after take-rate stabilizes; more setup (harvest/purification).
• Fillers: office-quick and reversible; typically shorter duration; ideal for testing tiny tweaks or very targeted lines.

Quick FAQ

How long do results last?
Transferred fat that successfully “takes” can be long-lasting; some resorption is normal, which is why conservative overfilling and, occasionally, a touch-up are discussed.

Will I look puffy?
Temporary swelling is expected; placement with fine cannulas and layered technique aims to reduce irregularity while things settle.

Is PRP necessary?
Not mandatory, but it’s often used at Fresh to support graft survival and tissue quality—your surgeon will advise based on goals and areas.
