Fat Grafting

Breast Augmentation Fat Grafting 

Breast Augmentation using Fat Grafting, also known as natural breast augmentation, is an extremely popular procedure that utilizes our patient’s own fat to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. Unlike traditional breast augmentation with implants, Fat Grafting offers a more natural alternative without the use of synthetic materials. During the procedure, fat is harvested from donor areas of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, using liposuction techniques. The harvested fat is then purified and injected strategically into the breasts to achieve the desired volume and contour. 

This technique not only provides natural-looking results but also allows for more precise customization to address asymmetry or shape irregularities. With breast augmentation Fat Grafting, patients can enjoy enhanced breasts with minimal scarring and a shorter recovery period compared to traditional implants.

Brow Ridges

Brow ridges are augmented with coarse fat, but the periphery is finished with fine fat for a good feathering effect. This, in conjunction with temple Fat Grafting, helps to create a much-desired “Double Ogee” structure on the face, when looked at a 45-degree angle.

Chin Fat Grafting

The chin could be augmented all around, better than any chin implant, except for severe chin deficiency cases, in which a chin implant may be added. Along with the chin, the lower lip could also be enhanced with fine Fat Grafting.

Forehead

Coarse/thick fat is used for the deeper loose connective tissue layer, while fine fat is for the subcutaneous and the muscle layer. The mid-forehead depression is filled up to just enough, and so is the outer/lateral portion where depression is often seen. Mid-forehead bossing with a flat brow ridge structure, fashioned by many plastic surgeons in Korea, Japan, and China is a taboo in Dr. Yu’s practice. The bossing (prominent, round, and protruding forehead) not only makes a person look like a new species but also destroys the harmonious coordination of all the surrounding structures, including the eyes, nose, brows, and forehead.

“Funnel Chest” Fat Grafting

If you think your chest has a “funnel” deformity and is embarrassing, you could have Fat Grafting done to get help improve the appearance.

Hand Fat Grafting

When people age, the skin becomes thin, and the underlying tissue disappears. At times, the hands could easily be 20 years older than a person’s face. Luckily, Fat Grafting could easily solve the problem.

Lip Fat Grafting

If the upper lip is thin, with a gummy smile appearance, Fat Grafting into the upper lips, canine fossa, and medial cheek regions not only improves the lip aesthetics but also effectively relieves the gummy smile. Again, the combination of variously sized fat helps to further increase the survival rate of the fat. Hence, the final result is better.

Nasolabial Fold

The nasolabial fold is grafted with both fine and coarse fat. There is no need to worry about overfilling this area, since not much fat can survive in this highly mobile region. However, it is necessary not to address the lower portion of this fold, to avoid forcing the lateral aspect of the upper lip down.

Nose Fat Grafting

Nose Fat Grafting can be employed to correct minor defects of the nose, such as the radix region or a minor saddle-back nose. Sometimes it could also be utilized to correct the columella show (veiling) when it is mild. Nose Fat Grafting plays a heavy role in Dr. Yu’s hands because he utilizes Fat Grafting to sculpt the nose, brow, and forehead structures to provide his patients with the looks that only “Cover Girls” could enjoy in the past. 

Alloderm is also becoming more and more popular in nose jobs, especially for minor defect corrections, because it is readily available, and the absorption is minimal.

“O” Leg (Bowleggedness) Fat Grafting

Our doctor has done quite a few Fat Grafting to correct “O” legs, helping patients avoid the more involved and much dreaded orthopedic surgeries.

Tear Trough

Tear trough defects are safely sculpted with fine and nano fat. 

Temples

Temples are usually full when young. With aging, the temporal fat pad is atrophic, and so is the temporalis muscle. Consequently, Fat Grafting/sculpturing here is to make sure that fat is grafted not only in the superficial subcutaneous layer and the layer below the superficial temporal facial but also into the deeper muscle structures. For more severe hollowness, at least three entry points are made, utilizing crisscross patterns for a 3-D structured Fat Grafting, to obtain a satisfying result.
