Dr Ahn’s approach to fat grafting
Review where facial volume has changed and the condition of the tissues. Discuss grafting areas, scope and recovery with Dr. Ahn Jae-seok.
Four considerations before fat grafting
Before fat grafting, review volume loss, facial proportions and the amount needed.
Location of volume loss
First identify the areas that appear hollow.
Overall proportions
Consider overall balance rather than enlarging one area.
Pattern of aging
Distinguish volume loss from tissue laxity.
Appropriate volume
Plan the necessary extent and volume rather than excessive filling.
Planning around structure and proportions
Assessment considers how hollowing and laxity relate. Adding volume and supporting tissue have different roles.

Distinguishing microfat and SVF
Microfat and SVF are discussed as distinct materials with different roles.
Microfat
Adipose tissue is planned for volume support.
SVF
A fraction containing multiple cell types separated from adipose tissue; it is not synonymous with pure or cultured stem cells.
