I guess I'm worried about the paranasal area because if it ends up in the area on the sides of my nose (like cheek area but by the nose), my nose will look even more sunken in and recessed from my side profile. :sad:

I think you will have far more risk of that when it comes to fat grafting. And you will have extreme difficulty removing it too. With filler its very simple. Even if some remains its such a tiny amount its not an issue. Additionally, your surgeon / dermatologist should inject it very deep in the face, preferably just above the bone to minimize risk of it shifting. Often the risk of shifting is when it is administered in the superficial layers
 
@MissOrange congrats on your facelift, hope everything is going well.

@K Couture @MissOrange

I was wondering if you both had any fat grafting surgeon recommendations in SK for those in their 20s that have very low volume in their faces?
I personally wouldnt recommend any particular surgeon for fat grafting simply because its a procedure that doesnt require a specialization. I've done fat grafting with different surgeons all with good results. It really doesnt matter for a procedure like that, just like how it doesn't make sense to go specifically looking for a surgeon that is skilled at liposuction because that doesn't mean anything really. All you need is a board certified plastic surgeon with an understanding of facial anatomy, which almost every plastic surgeons would. Never go to a GP doctor for this. A few clinics in korea are run by gp doctors. In korea gp doctors can legally perform lipo and fat grafting. But you should avoid them at all costs as they have different training to plastic surgeons.

Hi @glowup2021 I can recommend Dr Seo, now at Machimpyo, who did 2 of my facial fat transfers and Dr Hong of Fresh seems to get good results too but he is not a board certified plastic surgeon so maybe Dr Seo is best.

I would not recommend Dr Kim at DA clinic as his results were variable for my 3 facial fat transfers so I suspected I may have had a shadow doctor. Don't be trapped by prepaying for 2 fat transfers as the top up may be done by someone else or you may not like the results of the first transfer but be stuck as you prepaid for 2 like I did.

oh ok, thank you for your reassurance. after someone mentioned that fat would move around more in the paranasal area, I stopped considering that as an option. I think I will either use an implant or filler in the paranasal area.

Im just letting you know about implant, MAJORITY and i mean MAJORITY of patients who get the paranasal implant always get it removed. Main reason is the sensation of feeling the implant there whenever you talk, whenever you eat whenever you drink. Its very uncomfortable. The only ones who actually keep it in are the ones who use it not so much for the nasolabial folds, but the ones who use it for bone deficiencies, whereby the implant is used for its original purpose, to volumize the sunken region surrounding the alar for patients who have such a condition (bone deficienct). Most patients do not have those conditions. You could almost say using it for the naso labial folds is an off label usage similar to the way loniten is used for hair loss at times when the intention of the drug is to regulate blood pressure. Remember, the naso folds is merely a skin flap with no underlying bone structure. Hence why filler works best for it.
 
ahh I see. that makes sense! thank you for sharing this with me. I think I will have the chance to visit korea again next year (around 6-9 months later if I end up going to Korea this fall).

where did you get fat grafting to in your face? and how long would you say it took to go from looking "overly plump" (like very round, recently injected look) to more normal looking haha?
You are welcome! it was about 2weeks time for the first time-> got more natural n almost to my liking after like a month-> too "natural", more absorption over 3months... told this to the doc on my second touch, i was swollen+all too full for about 3weeks this time-> got scared cuz this time, it didnt go super natural even after a month!‐> to my liking after about 2month time. Got to a point where I think it's too little but all my friends saying it is perfect after about 3months n pretty same from here on. maybe i got used to my over-puffy face and that's why i find it too natural like my friend is telling me.. lol

oh the clinic! I'm sorry I am still kind of new here and am not sure. Is it ok for me to just write the clinic name here? I don't want to be accused of anything.. ?

Good to know @K Couture. This explains why my 2 premaxilla gortex implants failed and I had them removed. It raised my bony deficient maxilla under my nose but it got infected. I do notice ladies seem to want paranasal implants for nasolabial folds. I agree it is too extreme and interesting how most have them removed in the end. Removal would leave the ladies with stretched skin. This may need lifting. My philtrum skin ended up very stretched after the implant was removed. The bullhorn lip lift fixed this.

I had fillers in my nasolabial folds injected in my 40s. Now I do not need fillers or fat graft as the facelift removed my nasolabial lines. I think the rib rhino also helped as Ion built up my maxilla at the base of the columella with rib cartilage.
 
Your facelift result is great!

Where are you going in the UK to get your burn scar treated? I have a burn scar from when I was a child and I am looking to get it fixed in the UK.
Hi @J Cn thanks! Sorry to hear you have a burn scar from childhood. I have my burns clinic appointment in 3 hours time at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London. It is the only NHS burns unit that services all of London. Thus far they have debrided and closed the third degree laser burn and administered 2 lots of steroid injections. I shall ask today whether I need a third steroid injection or try CO2 laser. The steroid injections have helped flatten the hypertrophic scars.

Thanks MissOrange. How did you get access to their services?
