The Complete Guide to Facial Fat Injection Benefits, Growth Rates, and Injection Sites, as Taught by an Expert Doctor.
As a plastic surgeon, I have gained extensive experience through numerous cases, cultivating precise techniques and a deep understanding of anatomy. Currently, I combine plastic surgery expertise with the latest techniques to provide aesthetic medicine addressing aging concerns like skin, contours, and sagging. "Natural beauty" isn't about doing nothing and leaving it to chance; it lies beyond the will to choose how you want to be. My experience as an idol during medical school made me realize the power appearance holds over the heart, and I focus on supporting patients in achieving "days where they can like themselves more." I also offer consultations in English and prioritize creating a comfortable environment for open discussion.

Facial Fat Grafting for "High-Quality Rejuvenation"──Aging Design That Changes Your Structure
As we age, not only does skin lose its firmness and radiance, but the underlying fat, ligaments, and skeletal support gradually weaken, causing facial contours to succumb to gravity.
Shadows and hollows that start to bother you, and that “tired look.” Most of these are caused by a loss of volume.
What restores that “lost three-dimensionality” in a natural and elegant way isFacial Fat Transferis.

↓I touched on facial fat grafting briefly in a previous article.
Today, I'd like to talk a bit more specifically about facial fat grafting.
■ Fat is the "ultimate bespoke material"
──From harvesting to completion, everything is determined by meticulous processes.
The most important thing in fat grafting is,Collection → Purification → Design InjectionThe key is how meticulously this process is carried out.
This level of precision changes everything: the take rate, the texture, and the longevity.
① Collection
We carefully and uniformly collect samples with gentle pressure from areas such as the thighs, hips, and lower abdomen.
The meticulousness of the harvesting process also affects the downtime of the harvested area and the fat cell survival rate.
To ensure the donor site is as smooth as possible, this also offers the benefit of enhancing the beauty of both the face and body.
■ What is Condensed Rich Fat (CRF)?
──The purest, most refined fat“
The harvested fat is not used directly at our clinic.
Here comesCondensed Rich Fat (CRF)is.
CRF stands forA substance obtained by thoroughly removing impurities (such as blood, excess water, and damaged cells) through centrifugation, leaving only highly purified fat.about that.
This provides the following benefits:
・Since it does not come into contact with air after suction, it is safer and cleaner.
・ Higher engraftment rate
・Less prone to oil droplet formation and easier to avoid lumps
・Soft and natural texture after injection
・Long-lasting, stable results
This is truly a material that pursues the highest quality.

CRF can only be purified at certified facilities.
Our clinic is a certified facility of the Japan Medical Adipose Stem Cell Research Association CRF.
■ The beauty is determined by the process of refining the CRF.
I manually refined the collected CRF in further stages,NanofatやMicrofatRefines.
We repeatedly adjust the type of filler based on the injection site and layer to achieve a more natural and three-dimensional result.
Bianca Original NanoStem TherapyBy combining these, skin texture visibly improves.
By fully utilizing the harvested fat,Volume Enhancement Contouring"Enhanced Firmness and Radiance"We aim to make all of them come true.
■ The graft survival rate is 40–80%. That's precisely why we create a beautiful shape for the remaining hair.
Approximately 40 to 80 percent of the fat survives, and the remaining fat persists for nearly indefinitely.
Therefore, what matters is,The design that looks most beautiful after engraftmentis.
I meticulously adjust the volume, depth, and angle down to the millimeter to ensure the final result after full healing achieves a natural and elegant contour.
■ Fat grafting also has the effect of making the area appear lifted.
Adding fat not only restores volume, but alsoLifting effect that makes sagging appear reducedwill be born.
The reason is──
1. By restoring height to the temples and cheeks, the entire face regains its upward center of gravity.
2. The shadow effect diminishes, eliminating the aged appearance caused by shadows.
3. By supporting areas lacking volume, the skin naturally tightens.
When firmness returns to the midface, it transforms into a surprisingly youthful appearance.
■ List of Injectable Areas

Beautiful three-dimensional forms are perfected through the harmony of multiple parts.I will do so.
【Indicated Areas】
・Framed
・Temple
・Mid-cheek
・Golgo Line
・The area from under the eyes to the cheekbone
・nasolabial folds
・Marionette lines
・Face line
We will inject primarily into suitable areas.
By sculpting multiple areas in a three-dimensional manner, the most natural and refined finish is achieved, so fundamentallyCustomized injection for the entire faceWe recommend.
■ When combined with other treatments, the effectiveness is further enhanced.
Fat grafting is effective on its own, but
Combining them will significantly enhance the rejuvenation effect.
The most suitable treatment is──
Thread Lift (Restores position and corrects fullness with fat)
Fat Reduction (The Ultimate Solution for Dark Circles)
Skin Booster & Growth Factor Therapy
Hyaluronic acid injections into areas requiring firmness or definition
etc.
Rejuvenation requires the harmonious integration of three elements—structure, volume, and skin—making comprehensive design essential.

■ Finally—Treatment to Reclaim Your “Essence of Beauty”
Fat grafting does not produce dramatic changes.
However, it enhances your natural beauty and transforms how you appear in everyday life.
・Gentle expression
・High-quality three-dimensional effect
・Bright and cheerful impression
・Refined contours from every angle
This is,"Reconstructing Your Beauty"—like turning back timeis.
In counseling,
Not just "how you want to change,"
"What kind of atmosphere do you want to project?"
"The balance between naturalness and elegance"
We will carefully listen to you until the end.
I truly look forward to designing the most beautiful shape for you together!
