Fat Transfer for Rejuvenation and Natural Volume Enhancement [Basic Edition]

Supervising Physician

Ayori Yokoyama

My journey into aesthetic medicine stems from a desire to help enrich and beautify lives beyond simply treating illness. My specialties include hyaluronic acid, Botox, and thread lifts. I provide treatments that enhance each individual's unique qualities and bring out an elegant, natural beauty. For concerns around the eyes that are difficult to improve with dermatology alone, I also perform surgical procedures. By integrating dermatology and surgery, I holistically balance the entire face. With three periods of overseas study, I am also able to provide consultations in English.

Hello!

I am Ayuri Yokoyama, a plastic surgeon and cosmetic dermatologist.

For such concerns, the popular solution isFat injectionis.
This time, we'll start with the basics: we'll clearly explain what fat grafting is and what effects it has.

1. What is fat transfer?

Fat grafting is,Achieve facial and body volume enhancement using fat harvested from your own bodyTreatment.
Fat is harvested from areas such as the abdomen or thighs, undergoes special processing, and is then injected into the desired areas.

・Face (forehead, under eyes, cheeks, temples, etc.)

・Breast augmentation

・Hips (Lifting)

It is frequently applied to various fields, characterized by the reassurance that "using one's own organization means virtually no allergies."

2. Benefits of Fat Transfer

・Long-term effects
Compared to hyaluronic acid, fat that has been permanently implanted lasts considerably longer.

・Natural finish
Since it's your own fat, the texture and feel are natural. Another appealing feature is that it's less likely to be noticed by others.

3. Disadvantages and Precautions

・Retention rates vary from person to person
Not all of the injected fat remains; it is said that approximately 30 to 70 percent survives.
Multiple sessions may be required.

・There is downtime
Swelling and bruising may occur at both the extraction and injection sites, requiring a recovery period of approximately 1 to 2 weeks.

・Lumps, asymmetry
There is also a non-zero risk of lumps forming from residual fat deposits, as well as asymmetry or unevenness.
