Physicians well-versed in fat grafting provide comprehensive management from harvesting to storage.
At our clinic, physicians specializing in liposuction, fat grafting, and regenerative medicine oversee the entire process from collection to storage. Liposuction is not merely about removing fat; it is crucial to determine "which layer to harvest and how much to collect." At Bianca Clinic, experienced physicians perform the procedure, carefully harvesting fat in a manner that minimizes physical burden on the patient.
At our clinic, we protect both your present and future beauty by offering not only the treatments you need now, but also proposals that consider your future aesthetic and regenerative medicine options.
Fat changes with age just like we do, but with FAT BANK, you can preserve your current “young fat” for the future. If you're interested in fat cryopreservation (FAT BANK), which is gaining attention both as a gift to your future self and as part of regular anti-aging care, please consult Bianca Clinic.

CHARACTERISTICSFat Freezing Preservation (FAT BANK) is
Fat Freezing Preservation (FAT BANK) is a service that stores harvested fat in specialized facilities, processes it into adipose-derived stem cells (ASC), and freezes it.
The fat harvested through liposuction undergoes a processing step (Condensed Rich Fat processing) to concentrate the harvested fat, remove impurities such as dead or aged cells, and extract carefully selected fat. It is then transported to a Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare-approved facility for manufacturing specified cell processing products. Within the facility, adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) are processed and cultured, and are stored long-term at -196°C, a temperature where chemical reactions essentially do not occur.
Fat harvesting is typically performed during VASER liposuction or Condense Rich breast augmentation procedures. Processing the harvested fat into adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) enables its application in treatments offering enhanced efficacy, such as regenerative medicine and improved fat graft survival rates. Therefore, preserving surplus fat during the initial harvest proves beneficial for expanding future re-injection options and treatment possibilities.
Adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) are
Stem cells are cells capable of transforming into various types of cells. They are characterized by two abilities: the "self-renewal capacity" to generate cells identical to themselves, and the "multipotency" to differentiate into other cells such as skin, blood, or nerve cells.
Regenerative medicine utilizes the properties of these stem cells to repair and regenerate damaged tissues and cells. It is widely used across the entire medical field, not only in cosmetic medicine but also in breast reconstruction and the repair of subcutaneous tissue.
Adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) are stem cells harvested from subcutaneous fat. These cells are not limited to functioning as fat cells; they are also anticipated to be applied in regenerative medicine and anti-aging fields. They help compensate for the diminished regenerative capacity of skin and tissues that occurs with aging, and in recent years, they have also gained attention in the field of aesthetic medicine.
For future-oriented anti-aging care
Frozen fat can be retrieved and reused as needed, in the exact amount required.
Using one's own cells minimizes the risk of rejection or allergic reactions and facilitates a natural-looking result.
Stored fat can be utilized in a wide range of procedures, such as adding volume during breast augmentation or facial contouring, or for wrinkle and sagging care.
Another advantage is that cells obtained from a single fat harvest can be cryopreserved for future use in multiple procedures, thereby reducing the burden on the body.
Furthermore, the harvested fat can be stored for future use, making it possible to consider aesthetic treatments using one's own “young fat” even as one ages—a feature that has drawn significant attention.
"Preserve your current fat for future beauty"—this is a new option in anti-aging care.
Benefits
MERITFat storage at a facility with a well-established management system
The harvested fat is strictly managed and stored at facilities approved by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
There is no need to undergo liposuction every time you receive treatment.
Since adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) can be reused after initial collection, this approach minimizes physical burden and downtime.
Use only what you need, when you need it.
The stored fat can be flexibly extracted and used according to the treatment requirements.

RECOMMENDED POINTSFrozen at -196°C to prevent bacterial growth
Simply freezing fat cells causes them to rupture, rendering them unusable for procedures. Therefore, FAT BANK employs a program freezer that precisely controls the freezing rate, preserving cells at -196°C—a temperature at which cellular biochemical reactions essentially cease. In this cryogenic environment, cells enter a state of temporary dormancy, enabling safe long-term storage.
Furthermore, harvested fat is managed individually for each patient and assigned a unique barcode. Results from sterility testing and quality checks are documented as quality certificates, establishing a system to verify cell safety and condition. This enables the preservation of adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) harvested at the time of collection, maintaining their original state. This ensures they can be safely utilized for future re-injection or divided into multiple treatment sessions.
The difference between adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) and PRP injections or purified concentrated stem cell culture supernatant is
The difference between adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) and PRP injections or purified concentrated stem cell culture supernatant may be difficult for some to visualize.
Adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) are cells that can be extracted from one's own fat. They are expected to be effective when used as autologous adipose-derived stem cell infusions or to support the reconstruction of skin and tissue.
PRP therapy uses plasma extracted and concentrated from blood to target skin firmness and fine lines with growth factors released by platelets. Stem cell culture supernatant utilizes cytokines and growth factors secreted during the culture process, offering potential benefits for reducing inflammation and redness.
Unlike other methods that act on components rather than cells, ASC utilizes actual cells, enabling future re-injection and multiple treatments, and offering broader regenerative support.
Applications of Cryopreserved Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ASC)
Cryopreserved adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) have a wide range of applications, from cosmetic purposes to regenerative medicine.
For example, this involves cryopreserving fat for use in Condense Rich fat transfer breast augmentation. While Condense Rich augmentation has limitations on the amount that can be injected in a single session, injecting the fat in smaller volumes reduces the risk of lumps and leads to a more natural-looking result.
The harvested fat is cryopreserved and later processed into adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) for reinjection. This eliminates the need for additional fat harvesting during subsequent procedures, allowing for gradual volume enhancement while minimizing physical burden on the body.
Additionally, it can be used for anti-aging care by injecting it into areas such as the face, neck, and hands to support skin firmness and radiance. Since it uses your own fat, it addresses concerns naturally while minimizing the risk of foreign body reactions or allergies.

Treatment Process
CONTENT OF TREATMENTPhysician's examination and counseling
First, we will listen to your concerns during a consultation, and then a physician will determine whether treatment is appropriate based on their diagnosis.
Fat Harvesting and Processing
First, subcutaneous fat is harvested through liposuction. The harvested fat undergoes Condensed Rich Fat (CRF) processing according to its intended use, extracting only high-purity fat cells. Subsequently, it is either cryopreserved or utilized for injection procedures as needed.
Transportation and Storage
The harvested fat is transported to CellSource, a nationally accredited regenerative medicine center. After undergoing quality adjustments through inspection, cleaning, and coating, it is frozen and stored in small portions at -196°C, a temperature that prevents chemical reactions.
Drawers・Treatment
When requesting fat transfer, contact the clinic to retrieve the frozen fat. Since the fat is stored in small 4cc portions, only the necessary amount can be extracted. It is then used for the desired procedure at the clinic.
