10 Days Post-op:

This patient underwent full face fat grafting performed by Dr. Jun Young Kim at WillBe Plastic Surgery Clinic. She wanted very natural volumization—a subtle, soft enhancement rather than an overly filled look. Fat grafting is one of the safest and most natural approaches for this because it uses the patient’s own fat, typically taken from the abdomen or inner thigh, meaning no foreign material is introduced into the face.

After processing and grafting, the added volume blends smoothly with existing facial structures. Even at just 10 days post-op, swelling is already minimal, and by around 1 month, results typically look fully natural and settled.

For those curious about the process, here’s a simple breakdown of how full face fat grafting is performed:

1. Fat harvesting from the abdomen or inner thigh
2. Centrifuging the fat to isolate purified, healthy fat cells
3. Converting a portion into nanofat for delicate areas requiring finer texture
4. Injecting the fat through a tiny puncture hole, leaving no visible incision

To further enhance fat cell survival, we also draw a small amount of the patient’s blood to create PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and mix it with the grafted fat. This is a specialty technique used at our clinic to support better retention and smoother healing.

Feel free to leave any questions below—whether about the fat grafting process, healing timeline, or fat survival rates. I’m happy to explain anything in more detail!

2 Weeks Post-op:

This patient underwent a revisional rhinoplasty performed by Dr. Jun Young Kim at WillBe Plastic Surgery Clinic. She previously had rhinoplasty elsewhere and was unhappy with the pinched appearance of her nasal tip when viewed from the front. She also had a bulbous tip, which contributed to a wider, less defined tip shape.

For this revision, donor rib cartilage and ear cartilage were used to rebuild and support the tip, correcting both the pinched contour and bulbous shape. A silicone dorsal implant was placed to gently refine and elevate the nasal bridge for a more balanced profile.

She also received forehead fat grafting. Her forehead had a slightly sunken look, and she wanted to improve upper-face volume and overall harmony while undergoing revision rhinoplasty. The added fat created a smoother, fuller, and more youthful contour.

Although these photos were taken just 2 weeks post-op, the results already appear quite natural with minimal visible swelling thanks to stable graft support and conservative refinement.

Feel free to ask any questions below, and let me know what you think of the results! I’d be happy to explain the surgical approach, healing timeline, or graft choices in more detail.

1 Month post-op: This patient underwent lower blepharoplasty and Endotine brow lift performed by Dr. Jun Young Kim at WillBe Plastic Surgery Clinic. Her main concerns were persistent under-eye hollowing, dark circles, and a tired appearance. She also struggled with prominent forehead wrinkles, and the brow lift played a major role in softening those lines by gently elevating and supporting the brow.

Feel free to ask any questions below, and let me know what you think of the results. I'd be happy to explain the procedures, recovery process, or surgical approach.
