Volume Fat Grafting in China
“What Is Volume Fat Grafting?”
Fat grafting refers to an aesthetic procedure in which extra fat in the stomach or thigh of your body is taken and transplanted to other areas (face, breast, hip) devoid of fat to achieve good volume and shape.
From the mid-20s, the skin starts to lose elasticity, and the fat distribution on the face changes, causing the forehead, temples, or cheeks to appear depressed. Autologous fat transplantation allows you to fill the depressed areas and hide protruding cheekbones. Recent autologous fat transplantation can be called a ‘face renovation procedure’ as it makes your face look healthier and more voluminous.
VIP Volume Fat Grafting diagnoses the ideal shape of an individual’s face and injects fat into each layer of the face, delivering a long-lasting, more detailed result compared to conventional fat grafting.
Doctor’s Message
“Fat grafting is certainly not a simple surgery.”
As we age, our faces slowly lose fat. Therefore, our face looks older than before due to wrinkles and sunken cheeks, temples, or forehead. You may lose elasticity and volume in your body parts, like your breasts and hips. If you do not wish to insert foreign implants into your body and prefer the most natural results, autologous fat grafting is an excellent and safe procedure that satisfies needs. However, if the fat grafting is done without high-quality and experienced techniques, you may experience certain side effects, like any other surgery. Fat grafting surgery can be the safest and most natural surgery when performed by a surgeon who has extensive experience and great skills.

Potential Side Effects
VIP’s autologous fat transplantation enhances biological fixing rate and minimizes side effects. It also allows natural correction of any abnormal areas. There is a very low possibility of side effects as the procedure uses autologous tissue. Most of the side effects are minor, and they disappear as time passes by.
- Bruise: Bruises can emerge on both areas from which fat was taken and to which it was transplanted.
- Inflammation: Inflammation can emerge in the transplanted area, which can be cured with antibiotics.
- Lumps: There can be lumps felt in the transplanted area while the fat is biologically fixed. These do not cause any problem, but a shot of a steroid can remove them with ease.
