Are you looking for a skilled doctor for fat grafting in Namyangju?

With fat grafting, "who performs the procedure" matters more than any particular clinic or brand in determining both results and safety. At Seoul Cheongdam Dr. Anapa Clinic in Dasan New Town, Namyangju, Gyeonggi-do, Dr. Ahn Jae-seok, the clinic's lead director with more than 15,000 procedures over 20 years, personally handles everything from consultation and the procedure itself to aftercare.

In fat grafting, the doctor's expertise across all three stages—harvesting, purification, and injection—is directly tied to graft survival. Because the right technique depends on each person's available fat, the treatment area, and overall health, it's important to create a plan that suits you through a thorough consultation beforehand.

1. What is fat grafting, and why does the doctor's skill matter?

Fat grafting is a procedure in which your own fat is harvested from a specific area of the body (such as the thighs or abdomen), purified, and then injected into areas that need volume. Throughout the three stages that determine success (harvesting → purification → injection), the doctor's technical precision plays a decisive role in graft survival and in preventing complications.

PurificationSeparating impurities and bloodInflammation, uneven graft materialPurification technique that preserves stem cells and intact cells
InjectionFine, layer-by-layer distributionUneven contours, lumps (calcification)Micro-injection with the 5-step design & undercorrection technique

2. 20 years of research: the "undercorrection technique" and "5-step design fat grafting"

Dr. Ahn Jae-seok of Seoul Cheongdam Dr. Anapa Clinic has built up years of research and clinical results in fat grafting.

  • Presented at an academic congress: At the 2009 World Congress of Aesthetic Medicine in Beijing, he formally presented "5-step design fat grafting using undercorrection," drawing attention for significantly improving graft survival and dramatically reducing post-procedure swelling.
  • Extensive clinical experience with more than 15,000 cases: Over more than 20 years, he has performed over 15,000 individually tailored fat grafting procedures and developed his own precise injection know-how.
  • Advantages of the undercorrection & 5-step design technique:
  1. Maximized graft survival: Prevents cell death caused by overinjection and promotes blood vessel formation in the grafted fat tissue.

  2. Less swelling and shorter recovery: Minimizes tissue damage, greatly reducing post-procedure swelling and bruising.

  3. Natural, three-dimensional contours: A 5-step, three-dimensional design delivers precise volume to the face and other treated areas.

3. The synergy of stem cells and youthful-face fat grafting

Seoul Cheongdam Dr. Anapa Clinic combines youthful-face fat grafting with stem cell treatment to offer a more advanced procedure.

Stem-cell-assisted fat grafting helps improve graft survival by promoting blood vessel formation and stimulating the release of growth factors. Combining Dr. Ahn Jae-seok's 5-step design technique with stem cell treatment is a key part of creating smooth, semi-permanent volume.

  4. Precise undercorrection injection: Fine, layer-by-layer distribution to minimize swelling

  5. Follow-up care: A structured care system to help maintain graft survival

4. Essential checklist before fat grafting

Fat grafting results can vary depending on your skin thickness, amount of fat, and lifestyle (such as smoking).

  • Check how much of your own fat can be harvested
  • Avoid smoking for a set period before and after the procedure (essential for graft survival)
  • Avoid excessive pressure and high-heat environments (saunas, Korean jjimjilbang spas) after the procedure
  • Avoid injecting too much at once (pursuing gradual, natural results through undercorrection)

At Seoul Cheongdam Dr. Anapa Clinic in Dasan New Town, Namyangju—easily accessible from nearby areas such as Byeollae, Guri, and Hanam—you can confirm whether the procedure is right for you through a structured consultation.

5. Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Q1. How is Dr. Ahn Jae-seok's 5-step design fat grafting different from conventional grafting? A1. Rather than overfilling with fat, which causes swelling and lumps, it applies the "undercorrection technique" and "5-step three-dimensional design" presented at the 2009 World Congress of Aesthetic Medicine in Beijing. This greatly reduces post-procedure swelling while maximizing graft survival, producing volume that looks far more natural and lasts longer.

Q2. How long does grafted fat last once it has taken? A2. Your own fat that has taken successfully lasts semi-permanently. However, volume can change with weight fluctuations or aging, so precise technique and aftercare from an experienced doctor are important.

Q3. Which is right for me: fat grafting or fillers? A3. Because autologous fat grafting uses your own tissue, rejection is rare, and it offers a natural feel and long-lasting results. Fillers are convenient but may require periodic touch-ups. If you want natural lifting and volume over a larger area, autologous fat grafting is effective.

Q4. How long is the recovery after fat grafting? A4. Because our clinic uses an undercorrection technique that minimizes swelling, recovery is faster than with conventional fat grafting. Bruising and mild swelling subside within a few days, making it relatively easy to return to daily life.
