Hello,
I am Park Jung-geun,
Director of Face Plus Plastic Surgery Clinic.
If you are concerned about your face looking less voluminous,
or a tired impression due to sunken cheeks,
you might be looking for consultations related to facial fat grafting.
Especially areas where volume changes affect one's impression, such as the forehead, front cheeks, under-eyes, and nasolabial folds,
tend to attract high interest.
When researching facial fat grafting,
many people often look for information about engraftment rates and duration.
Today, I will summarize the duration of facial fat grafting and
the factors that can influence the engraftment rate.

1. What is facial fat grafting?
Facial fat grafting is a procedure that uses fat harvested from the abdomen or thighs
to supplement the volume of sunken facial areas.
It is often performed on areas that appear to have reduced volume, such as the forehead or front cheeks,
and in some cases,
the under-eyes or nasolabial folds are also considered.
Furthermore, rather than simply filling volume,
it is often important to consider the overall facial balance and connecting lines
to achieve a more natural appearance.
However, the degree of fat engraftment
can vary depending on individual constitution and lifestyle.
2. Why is the engraftment rate often discussed?
When you read reviews of facial fat grafting,
the engraftment rate is often mentioned.
This is because some of the injected fat
can change over time.
Especially after the initial swelling subsides,
some people may feel a difference in volume,
and the duration of the effect can vary depending on the degree of engraftment.
Also, even with the same facial fat grafting procedure,
there can be differences depending on the injection site, the condition of the fat,
and individual constitution.
In some cases,
additional consultations may be pursued to achieve the desired volume.
3. What is the known duration?
The duration can vary depending on the engrafted fat's condition and
individual lifestyle.
Generally,
it is known to maintain for a certain period after engraftment,
and then naturally change
over time.
Also, significant weight changes can
result in differences in volume,
and sleep habits or lifestyle patterns can also
have an impact.
4. Factors that can affect the duration
The duration of facial fat grafting is influenced by
the state of fat engraftment, as well as
individual constitution and
lifestyle.
Specifically, excessive weight changes or
irregular lifestyle patterns are often mentioned as factors that can
affect volume changes.
Also, differences in engraftment rate can occur depending on
skin condition, blood flow environment,
and characteristics of the injection site.
Rather than simply injecting a large amount,
it can be important to determine the appropriate volume direction
considering the current facial shape and skin condition.
