Stem Cell Fat Transfer for Face in Seoul

Nanoori Stem Cell Center, Gangnam

Interested in a fuller, smoother, more youthful look using your own fat? You may have seen terms like “stem cell fat transfer,” “nanofat,” or “SVF.” At Nanoori Stem Cell Center, our clinical specialty is orthopedic regenerative care. For facial rejuvenation, any stem-cell–related fat procedures are specialist-dependent and regulated. We provide honest guidance and coordinate with board-certified plastic surgery / dermatology partners for safe, compliant options.


Straight talk: We do not perform unregulated “stem cell” facial injections. Facial fat grafting and any cell-related adjuncts must follow local regulations and be delivered by qualified specialists.

Who This Is For

  • Volume loss in cheeks, temples, under-eye/tear-trough (specialist-only area), jawline asymmetry
  • Fine lines/texture changes where fat micrografting or skin-quality adjuncts may help
  • Patients preferring autologous (your own tissue) solutions over synthetic fillers
  • International visitors seeking hospital-based, documented care

What People Mean by “Stem Cell Fat Transfer”

  • Autologous Fat Grafting: Fat is gently harvested, refined, and placed to restore volume/contours.
  • Microfat / Nanofat: Mechanically processed fat; nanofat is used more for skin quality than bulk volume.
  • SVF (stromal vascular fraction) / “stem cell–enriched” fat: Highly regulated; availability and legality vary. Any cell-enriched approach must be performed only where explicitly permitted and by qualified teams.
    We coordinate only         compliant techniques and clearly explain what’s allowed.

Specialist-Led Treatment Flow (Typical)

  1. Evaluation & Planning – Photos, facial analysis, goals, downtime tolerance; discuss permitted techniques.
  2. Harvest – Small-volume liposuction (abdomen/flank/thigh) under local anesthesia or light sedation.
  3. Processing – Refinement to microfat or nanofat per plan; no unregulated “stem cell drips.”
  4. Precise Placement – Cannula-based micro-aliquots into cheeks, temples, jawline; tear-trough only by expert injectors.
  5. Aftercare – Swelling/bruising care, sun protection, gentle skincare; staged touch-ups if needed.

What Results to Expect

  • Immediate: Swelling present; contours look fuller.
  • 1–3 months: Swelling resolves; a portion of grafted fat naturally integrates (some resorption expected).
  • 3–12 months: Stable contour; optional refinement session if symmetry/volume needs adjusting.
    Durability varies by area, technique, and personal factors.

Advantages vs. Standard Fillers

  • Autologous tissue (biocompatible; potential for longer-lasting structure)
  • Can address volume + skin quality (with nanofat-type approaches)
  • Helpful for broader contour changes (cheek, temple, jawline) in one session

Safety & Considerations

  • Performed by board-certified plastic/derm surgeons only
  • Common: temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness at face and harvest site
  • Less common but serious: vascular complications—expert technique is essential
  • Under-eye/tear-trough work is specialist-only due to anatomy and Tyndall/irregularity risks
  • Smoking, uncontrolled medical issues, or unrealistic expectations reduce candidacy

FAQ

Is this the same as a “stem cell facelift”?
No. It’s fat grafting (with or without regulated skin-quality adjuncts). Any “stem cell” language must reflect what’s legally permitted by your specialist.

Will all the fat survive?
Some resorption is normal. Skilled placement and good aftercare improve retention; minor touch-ups are common.

How long is downtime?
Typically 3–10 days for social downtime depending on areas treated; residual swelling can last a few weeks.

Can I combine with energy devices or lasers?
Often yes—timing is planned by your specialist to protect graft survival and skin healing.
