Stem-Cell Enriched Fat Grafting Facelift in Seoul, Korea | Grand Plastic Surgery


A Stem-Cell Enriched Fat Grafting Facelift at Grand Plastic Surgery combines structural lifting with regenerative fat grafting enhanced by stem-cell–rich components. This advanced technique restores youthful contours, lifts sagging tissues, and revitalizes skin quality—creating a fresher, smoother, and more radiant facial appearance.

This combined method addresses the two key causes of facial aging:
 loss of volume and descent of facial tissues, while also improving skin texture at the cellular level.

What Is a Stem-Cell Enriched Fat Grafting Facelift?

This facelift blends two advanced rejuvenation techniques into one procedure:

1. Surgical Facial Lifting (SMAS / Deep Layer Lift)

Corrects structural aging by lifting:

  • Sagging cheeks
  • Jowls
  • Midface descent
  • Jawline laxity

2. Stem-Cell Enriched Fat Grafting

Adds purified fat enriched with regenerative components for:

  • Volume restoration
  • Skin brightening
  • Texture improvement
  • Improved elasticity
  • Softening of wrinkles

The combination creates a youthful, lifted, and naturally full appearance.

Why Grand Plastic Surgery Specializes in This Technique

Grand Plastic Surgery is known for precise, natural facial lifting and advanced regenerative fat techniques. Their approach focuses on:

  • Structural lifting of the SMAS layer
  • High-viability fat purification
  • Stem-cell enrichment for enhanced skin regeneration
  • Smooth, natural contouring
  • Balanced, harmonious facial proportions
  • Soft, glowy, and youthful skin after healing

Patients choose this technique for both shape improvement and skin quality transformation.

How the Procedure Works

1. Facial Lifting

Incisions are placed around the ear or hairline to elevate deeper tissues and reposition sagging structures.

2. Fat Harvesting

A small amount of fat is collected from areas such as the abdomen or thighs.

3. Stem-Cell Enrichment

The harvested fat is processed to separate and enhance regenerative components (stromal vascular fraction–rich).

4. Micro-Fat Injection

Refined fat is gently injected to restore volume in areas such as:

  • Under-eyes
  • Cheeks
  • Temples
  • Nasolabial folds
  • Marionette lines
  • Chin and jawline

5. Skin Redraping & Finishing

Skin is repositioned softly over the lifted structure, ensuring natural expression.

What This Procedure Treats

This combination is ideal for patients with:

  • Sagging midface or jowls
  • Volume loss in cheeks or temples
  • Hollow under-eyes
  • Deep smile lines
  • Nasolabial and marionette folds
  • Dull, thin, or aging skin
  • Visible texture irregularities
  • Loss of jawline definition

It provides both lift and regeneration, offering comprehensive rejuvenation.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may benefit from this procedure if you:

  • Want both facial lifting and natural volume restoration
  • Have sunken or flattened midface contours
  • Experience sagging that fillers or threads can’t correct
  • Want long-lasting results without synthetic materials
  • Want better skin quality in addition to contour improvement
  • Prefer a natural, soft, youthful appearance

Suitable for patients in their 30s–60s depending on tissue laxity and skin quality.

Recovery Timeline

Recovery varies depending on the amount of lifting and grafting.

  • Days 1–3: Swelling, tightness, mild bruising
  • 1 week: Most bruising fades; stitch removal
  • 2–3 weeks: Significant reduction in swelling
  • 1–3 months: Final facial contours soften naturally
  • 3–6 months: Skin quality improvements fully appear

Fat grafting areas may feel fuller initially but settle smoothly.

Expected Results

A Stem-Cell Enriched Fat Grafting Facelift at Grand provides:

  • Lifted cheeks and smoother midface
  • Softer smile lines and marionette folds
  • Improved jawline definition
  • Brighter, healthier, more radiant skin
  • More youthful facial proportions
  • Natural, soft, long-lasting volume
  • Regenerative improvement where skin was thin or dull

The results look natural because both structure and skin quality are addressed.

Why Add Stem-Cell Enrichment?

Compared to standard fat grafting, stem-cell enriched fat offers:

  • Higher fat survival rate
  • Improved elasticity and smoothness
  • Brighter skin tone
  • Softer fine lines
  • Better under-eye correction
  • Superior regeneration for damaged or aging skin

This makes it ideal for patients who want the highest-quality fat grafting results.
