Gangnam is renowned for advanced facial rejuvenation procedures that restore youthful contours and volume. Facial Fat Grafting is a surgical procedure designed to naturally enhance facial fullness, smooth wrinkles, and improve overall skin quality using the patient’s own fat.

1. What is Facial Fat Grafting?

Facial fat grafting (also called fat transfer or autologous fat injection) involves harvesting fat from one area of the body (commonly abdomen or thighs), purifying it, and carefully injecting it into areas of facial volume loss.

• Natural Volume Restoration:
  Fills hollows in cheeks, under eyes, nasolabial folds, and temples.
• Wrinkle Reduction:
  Smooths deep lines and improves overall facial contours.
• Skin Quality Improvement:
  Transferred fat contains stem cells that enhance skin elasticity and texture.

2. Popular Treatments & Estimated Price Range

Prices are approximate per procedure in Gangnam and vary based on treated areas and volume required.

• Single-Area Fat Grafting: ₩2,000,000 – ₩4,000,000

4. Tips for Choosing a Clinic in Gangnam

5. Practical Advice for Your Trip

• Mild Swelling or Bruising:
  Peaks within 2–3 days and gradually resolves over 1–2 weeks.
• Avoid Strenuous Activity:
  For at least 1–2 weeks to ensure fat survival.
• Sleep with Elevated Head:
  Reduces swelling and promotes healing.
• Patience for Final Results:
  Full effect becomes visible after 2–3 months as fat settles and integrates.
