Fat Grafting
Full Face (Forehead, temples, front cheeks, nasolabial folds, etc.)
2nd Session (Using only fresh fat)
* Post-operative Progress
# We naturally shaped the face, focusing on the sunken areas. A more voluminous and vibrant impression has been achieved compared to before.
# Fat grafting is effective for smoothing out uneven facial lines and brightening the overall look to make one appear younger.
# At VIBE Plastic Surgery, we only use fresh fat. This is because frozen fat has a lower engraftment rate and carries a higher risk of issues such as infection, inflammation, and calcification!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
