정유석원장 작성일Hello, this is Dr.Yoosuk Chung, Director at TheLine Plastic Surgery. Over my 32-year career performing more than 100,000 facial and body contouring procedures, my focus has extended far beyond simply removing fat; I have dedicated myself to reconstructing sagging facial contours and maximizing the natural regenerative power of autologous tissues. I fully understand the concerns of patients dealing with sagging cheeks who are simultaneously looking to restore lost volume. As a surgeon, I would like to propose our safest and most effective 3D facial contouring solution.
Q1 (Question):
"Can I get a facial fat transfer to my flat forehead and smile lines at the same time as cheek liposuction using the harvested fat?"
A1 (Answer):
Yes, absolutely. Combining facial liposuction with a fat transfer—using your own harvested fat to fill a flat forehead or deep smile lines—is a highly effective combo procedure that allows us to completely redesign your facial contours in a single surgery.
By removing unwanted cheek fat and combining the purified fat cells with autologous ECM (extracellular matrix) and stem cells before grafting, we can increase the fat survival rate by over 20% to 30%. This delivers a much smoother, longer-lasting result. Backed by our 19-year accident-free safety record, our surgeons can precisely target fat without causing nerve damage. Furthermore, our advanced stem cell technology, developed over 21 years of research, goes beyond basic volume enhancement to actively improve skin regeneration from within. The core philosophy of TheLine is to slim down sagging areas while firmly plumping up hollow zones, creating a beautifully natural, seamless contour.
Q2 (Question):
"What are the most important aftercare tips to ensure a high fat survival rate after a facial fat transfer?"
A2 (Answer):
Over 90% of the facial fat survival rate is actually determined during the surgery itself through precise, micro-layering injection techniques and the viability of the stem cells (SVF) used, rather than post-operative aftercare.
To maximize the fat graft survival rate, a surgeon must avoid simply packing a massive amount of fat into one area. Instead, we use a micro-grafting technique to meticulously inject ultra-fine droplets of less than 0.1cc across multiple tissue layers. When this technique is paired with SVF and ECM to cultivate a healthy, cell-friendly environment, it triggers rapid blood vessel connection (angiogenesis), drastically boosting the overall retention rate.
Q3 (Question):
"If I have a very lean face with thin skin, is a facial fat transfer better than fillers for building up cheek volume in terms of natural results and longevity?"
A3 (Answer):
For patients with thin skin and a lack of soft tissue volume, a stem cell facial fat transfer utilizing your own SVF (Stromal Vascular Fraction) and ECM is far superior to synthetic fillers in terms of both fat survival and natural aesthetics.
When dermal filler is injected into thin skin, it can cause the Tyndall effect—where light scatters beneath the skin, giving the treated surface a translucent, bluish tint. Autologous fat grafting eliminates this issue entirely. By micro-injecting fat in precise 0.1cc increments, we achieve nearly 100% tissue compatibility with zero risk of showing through the skin. Furthermore, because the SVF and ECM components stimulate rapid new blood vessel formation to optimize the survival rate, the successfully grafted fat cells become a permanent part of your tissue rather than getting reabsorbed, resulting in a smooth, beautifully natural facial contour that looks and feels exactly like your own skin.
