Facial Fat Transfer in Seoul, Korea
Facial fat transfer in Gangnam, Seoul at Marble Plastic Surgery: PRP fat grafting restores volume to the forehead, cheeks and under-eyes using your own fat.
Typical ranges for facial fat transfer; your surgeon confirms the details at consultation.
What is facial fat transfer?
Facial fat transfer (fat grafting) takes your own fat from the abdomen or thighs, purifies it and injects it into areas of the face that have lost volume. At Marble Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, board-certified plastic surgeons perform PRP fat grafting for the forehead, temples, cheeks and under-eye area.
Volume loss is a major part of facial aging. Fat is a natural filler that, once it has gained a blood supply, lasts far longer than synthetic fillers. PRP — platelet-rich plasma from your own blood — is added with the aim of supporting graft survival. Part of the fat is absorbed, so a touch-up is sometimes planned.
Who is facial fat transfer for?
Suitability is decided at a 1:1 consultation with your surgeon.
- A flat forehead or hollow temples
- Sunken cheeks or under-eye hollows
- Deep nasolabial folds
- People who want longer-lasting volume than filler
How facial fat transfer is performed at Marble
- Consultation and planning Your surgeon maps the areas of volume loss, selects a donor site and explains how much volume is realistic to expect after absorption.
- Anesthesia and monitoring A board-certified anesthesiologist selects the anesthesia with your surgeon, administers it, and monitors you continuously throughout the procedure.
- Harvest, purification and injection Fat is gently suctioned from the donor area, purified and mixed with PRP, then injected in tiny amounts across multiple layers for an even contour.
- Recovery and discharge You rest in a private recovery room under monitoring. Before you leave, the team explains wound care, medication and your follow-up schedule.
Recovery and aftercare
The face is swollen for about one to two weeks, and the donor area may bruise. The final volume is judged after about three months, once absorption has stabilized.
- Follow-up visits with the surgeon who performed your procedure
- Wound and scar checks at each visit
- Written aftercare instructions in English
- Remote follow-up after you return home

Frequently asked questions
How long does facial fat grafting last?
Fat that survives the first few months is long lasting. Survival varies between individuals and areas.
What is PRP fat grafting?
Platelet-rich plasma prepared from your own blood is combined with the fat, with the aim of supporting graft survival and healing.
Fat transfer or filler?
Filler is quick and adjustable but temporary. Fat transfer takes longer to settle and gives a more lasting, natural volume.
