Suitable for individuals with facial wrinkles, such as crow's feet, nasolabial folds, and glabellar lines, who seek natural improvement.
Individuals with sufficient body fat for harvesting, in good general health, and free from serious medical conditions such as heart disease or diabetes.
Those with realistic expectations regarding surgical outcomes, without pursuing excessively dramatic changes.
Choose a facility equipped with advanced liposuction and injection devices. For example, using precise liposuction instruments can minimize damage to surrounding tissues and improve fat survival rates.
The injection equipment should offer fine operational control to ensure fat is evenly distributed in areas with wrinkles.

The price of autologous fat wrinkle removal is influenced by multiple factors, including the treatment area, the amount of fat required, regional differences, and the grade of the medical facility.
Generally, the cost for localized wrinkle removal ranges from approximately 300,000 to 150,000 Korean won, while full-face treatment is relatively higher, potentially costing around 1,000,000 Korean won.
In the initial stage, results may appear somewhat unnatural due to swelling, which typically subsides within 1 to 2 weeks, making the outcome more noticeable.
The final results vary based on individual body constitution and fat survival rates, with more stable outcomes generally visible after 3 to 6 months. However, please note that autologous fat wrinkle removal cannot completely eliminate wrinkles but can only improve them to a certain extent.
This can be combined with laser therapy, which stimulates collagen production to further improve skin texture. When paired with autologous fat grafting for wrinkle reduction, it enhances overall aesthetic outcomes.
It can also be combined with botulinum toxin injections, which relax muscles and reduce dynamic wrinkles. This complements autologous fat filling for static wrinkles, achieving superior wrinkle-reduction results.
- Common side effects include localized swelling, pain, and bruising, which typically subside gradually within a few days to weeks.
- Possible complications such as fat liquefaction and infection may manifest as localized redness, swelling, heat, and discharge. If infection occurs, prompt medical attention and anti-infective treatment are necessary.
- Uneven fat distribution may also occur, resulting in an irregular contour that may require secondary revision.
- In addition to the aforementioned swelling, pain, bruising, fat liquefaction, infection, and uneven fat distribution, allergic reactions may occur. Although allergies to autologous fat are extremely rare, the use of adjunctive medications or materials may introduce allergy risks, presenting as skin itching, rashes, or similar symptoms.
For liposuction equipment, such as resonant liposuction devices, they utilize the resonance principle to facilitate easier removal of fat cells while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
Injection equipment should be selected with precise control over injection volume and depth, such as microneedle syringes, ensuring accuracy and uniformity in fat injection.
Individuals with severe cardiovascular disease, diabetes, coagulation disorders, or other systemic conditions should not undergo the procedure.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Individuals with localized skin infections, inflammation, or similar issues should consider the procedure only after full recovery.
Individuals with unrealistic expectations regarding surgical outcomes.
- Individuals with severe cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, coagulation disorders, or other systemic conditions should not undergo the procedure.
- Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Individuals with local skin infections, inflammation, or other issues should wait until the condition is fully resolved before considering the procedure.
- Individuals with unrealistic expectations regarding the surgical outcomes.
In addition to the swelling, pain, bruising, fat liquefaction, infection, and uneven fat distribution mentioned above, allergic reactions may also occur. Although allergic reactions to autologous fat are extremely rare, there is a risk of allergy if adjunctive medications or materials were used, manifesting as skin itching, rashes, and other symptoms.
If local swelling and pain persist or worsen over several days after surgery, or if accompanied by fever or a fluctuating sensation in the affected area, it may indicate infection or fat liquefaction.
If the treated area appears noticeably uneven, it could be due to uneven fat distribution.
If symptoms such as itching or rash occur, consider the possibility of an allergic reaction.
Based on the type and severity of wrinkles, the physician will design a personalized treatment plan. For dynamic wrinkles, botulinum toxin injections may be combined; for static wrinkles, autologous fat grafting is the primary approach.
The selection of fat extraction sites and injection dosage requires comprehensive consideration of the body's fat distribution and the degree of facial volume restoration needed.
