Stem Cell Fat Grafting in Seoul, Korea

• Fat is harvested from your own body (commonly abdomen or thighs).
• The fat is then processed, and in stem cell fat grafting, advanced techniques isolate or enrich the fat with stem cells or growth-factors.
• The enhanced fat is then injected into target areas—face, hands, body—to restore volume and improve skin texture, leveraging regenerative effects of the stem cells.

What Areas/Concerns It Applies To

• Facial hollows: temples, under-eyes, cheeks, nasolabial folds.
• Volume-deficient areas needing contour softening or rejuvenation (e.g., hands, décolletage).
• For body cases: improved shape with fat harvested from one area (abdomen/thighs) and grafted to areas needing volume or smoother contours.
• Skin quality improvement: Because of the stem-cell enrichment, skin elasticity, texture and tone may improve along with volume retention.

Why Choose Seoul for It

• Clinics in Seoul use advanced fat-processing and stem-cell enrichment technologies to improve graft survival and naturalness.
• High levels of expertise in facial contouring and body-sculpting with international-patient support.
• A strong focus on natural-looking, harmonious results rather than exaggerated volume.
• Bundles of technology and regeneration — not just adding fat, but enhancing skin from within.

Procedure & Downtime

• The procedure often involves liposuction to harvest fat, processing and then grafting.
• Often done under sedation or local anaesthesia depending on areas.
• Downtime varies by harvest and graft volume, but many clinics list same-day discharge.
• Aftercare may include avoiding strenuous exercise, maintaining certain posture (for body areas), compression garments if needed, and skincare for graft sites.
• Swelling and bruising are common in harvest and graft sites; full settling of fat and stem-cell benefit takes time.

Results & How Long They Last

• Because the fat is your own tissue and enriched for higher survival, the results tend to last longer than standard filler.
• Some clinics claim higher graft survival (70-80% in certain enriched protocols).
• Full results (volume settling, skin improvements) usually seen in 2-4 months.
• Maintenance may be needed depending on ageing, volume changes, lifestyle, but many patients enjoy lasting benefits.

Who Is a Good Candidate / Key Considerations

  Good candidates:

• Those with volume loss (face, hands, body) wanting natural results.
• Those also wanting an improvement in skin texture/quality, not just volume.
• People comfortable with a minor surgical component (fat harvest).
• Those seeking longer-term results compared with filler injections.

  Important considerations/ask your clinic:

• The quality of fat harvest and processing: how are stem cells or growth factors extracted/enriched?
• Experience of the surgeon and clinic in stem-cell enriched grafting (not just standard fat transfer).
• Risk factors: fat grafting has more complexity than filler—unevenness, partial absorption, harvest-site morbidity.
• Expectations: some absorption is normal; results vary by individual.
• Cost and what is included (touch-up sessions, monitoring).
• Travel planning: If coming from abroad, ensure you’ll have proper follow-up and clarity about aftercare.

Rough Cost Estimate in Seoul

• According to clinics, the cost for stem cell fat grafting (face or select areas) in Seoul ranges around ₩3,000,000 to ₩7,000,000+ depending on area, stem-cell protocol, clinic.
• Body or larger grafting cases (face + body) may cost more.
• Always confirm what’s included (hospital day use, monitoring, follow-up visits, possible touch-ups).
