Fat Grafting
Doesn't the grafted fat all get absorbed?
Dr. Dongil ChoiPartial absorption of fat is a natural process, and our clinic uses a method that increases the survival rate by using only purified pure fat. Generally, the volume settled at 6 months is considered the final result.

Fat Grafting
How is it different from fillers?
Dr. Dongil ChoiFillers inject synthetic materials that break down over time. Fat grafting uses your own tissue, so once engrafted, it is maintained permanently with no risk of rejection.
