Pure Fat Cells + PRP

Combine your body's fat with growth factors from your blood

Facial fat grafting involves extracting a small amount of fat from the abdomen or thighs, purifying it, and then injecting it into areas of the face lacking volume. At PIAF Clinic, we mix refined fat with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) separated from your own blood for grafting. The growth factors in PRP are designed to aid the integration of the grafted fat, though the degree of integration and duration of results may vary by individual. We plan to evenly fill sunken areas such as the forehead, temples, under-eyes, cheeks, nasolabial folds, and chin to create a softer, more youthful appearance for the entire face.

PRP for Enhanced Fat Survival

PRP (Platelet-rich plasma) is obtained by centrifuging your blood to concentrate the plasma rich in platelets. Platelets contain growth factors that aid tissue recovery, and when injected with refined fat, they are known to support regeneration and restore volume and elasticity at the graft site. Using your own blood reduces the risk of foreign body reactions, though the effects and duration vary by individual.

  • PRP separated from your own blood
  • Regeneration aided by growth factors
  • Reduced risk of foreign body reactions
  • Consideration of volume and elasticity

Smooth Youthful Volume Without Bumps

Concentrating fat in one area can result in uneven surfaces or unnatural swelling. PIAF Clinic uses a micro fat injection technique with a fine cannula to distribute small amounts across multiple layers, ensuring an even surface. The injection volume is adjusted according to facial proportions and the degree of sunken areas.

  • Distributed injection in small amounts across layers
  • Use of fine cannula
  • Injection volume tailored to facial proportions
  • Reduced risk of bruising and swelling

Natural Results, Faster Recovery

A closed extraction and purification process minimizes air exposure, reducing fat cell damage. Using only micro-injection sites without incisions allows for a relatively quick return to daily life. Swelling and bruising generally subside over 1-2 weeks, though recovery speed and final results may vary by individual.

  • Closed extraction and purification
  • Micro-injection without incisions
  • Relatively short recovery period
  • Scope determined after consultation

Diagram of PRP centrifugation process

Fat extraction system that blocks air exposure. Fat cells are more likely to be damaged and have reduced survival when exposed to air and light or handled roughly. PIAF Clinic uses a closed system from extraction to purification, mixing, and injection to minimize cell damage. Refined pure fat is grafted with your PRP. The degree of survival varies by individual, and a second supplementary injection can be planned if necessary.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

Q.How much of the grafted fat remains?
Some of the injected fat is absorbed, and some integrates. The remaining ratio varies by area, injection method, and individual constitution. PIAF Clinic uses refined fat with PRP to aid survival and plans for a second supplement if needed.
Q.Which is better, filler or fat grafting?
For a simple fill of one or two areas, consider fillers. For a natural, long-lasting fill of multiple areas, consider fat grafting. During consultation, we assess if fat can be harvested and the desired volume.
Q.How long do swelling and bruising last?
Facial swelling generally subsides over 1-2 weeks, and bruising at the extraction site often fades around 2 weeks. Initially, the volume may appear larger, with the final appearance settling over 1-3 months. Individual differences apply.
