Are you curious about the process from consultation to recovery for SC301 facial fat grafting?

By 2025-12-09No Comments

Hello. I am Shin Dong-jin, the Chief Director of SC301.


Many of you are concerned that your facial impression looks sharp as you lose volume or elasticity.

One of the most popular procedures chosen to regain a youthful appearance is facial fat grafting.

Today, in the way I actually explain things to patients during consultations,

The flow of the entire process, from consultation and procedure to recovery and precautionsI will explain it to you step by step.

First, what will be verified during the consultation? Face analysis is the most important.


When you visit for the first time, we will calmly ask you about which areas lack volume, what kind of look you are looking for, and whether you have any prior treatment experience.

Next, a professional consultation with me follows.

The most important thing at this stage is facial structure analysis.

I simply... the patient's face It is not about finding a 'place to fill,'

The point where the volume dropped, Degree of skin sagging, Whether or not there is left-right asymmetry, Predicted changes after transplantation We evaluate the back in a three-dimensional way.

SC301 uses a 3D scanner to determine this more accurately.

Instead of simply saying, “I’ll put it in here,” “What kind of contour is created when this amount of volume is added to this area” 

We are helping you verify it with your own eyes.

This process is necessary to clearly predict the results of the procedure and reduce unnecessary over-injection.

Second, the procedure proceeds as follows on the day of the treatment.


If you come to the hospital on the day of the procedure One last check of the area and designdo.

Because the amount of fat injected for facial fat grafting is not large general anesthesia 또는 local anesthesiaThe procedure can be performed comfortably with just that.

The procedure time is About 1 to 3 hours That is about right.

In the case of performing stem cell-based fat grafting

It takes a little longer because the process involves fat extraction, stem cell isolation and purification, and mixing of fat and stem cells.

Because each step is very important for increasing the survival of fat cells,

I proceed using equipment and protocols that minimize cell damage and contamination throughout the entire process.

Third, how long will the recovery process take?


mostly Go home immediately on the day of the procedureis possible.

그리고 The swelling subsides significantly in about two weeks, and,

Many people Please say that after 3 to 4 days, there was almost no difficulty in daily life..

In SC301, to minimize tissue damage as much as possible

Leaving almost no incision micro cannula, Delicate layered injection techniqueUse .

Thanks to this, bruising and swelling are reduced, and the environment for fat engraftment is better.


In the initial stage, the transplanted fat is settling in, so 

Basic precautions such as avoiding facial pressure, massage, and excessive exercise이 있습니다.

Suture removal Usually after a week It is in progress, 

You can consider this point as the time when the first recovery phase is completed.

Because fat is affected by the internal environment

After the procedure, regular sleep, a balanced diet, and preventing rapid weight changes are very important.

Such lifestyle management Graft survival rateand retentionIt greatly influences.

Facial fat grafting is not simply a procedure of filling in fat, 

It is a sophisticated process that requires comprehensive consideration of facial structure, tissue condition, and the environment for fat engraftment.

In particular, since only the patient's own fat can be used, accurately determining the harvesting site, the quality of the fat, and the injection location significantly influences the results.

Ultimately, natural and long-lasting results are achieved not through excessive injection, but, 

It comes from accurately designing the appropriate amount that the face can accept.

Based on these medical principles, I always create customized plans to provide each patient with the most natural and balanced changes.

Thank you for reading this long post again today.
