Hi Grantz, sorry for the late reply but anyway the operation in Korea timing really varies. I remember the first time I was there the surgery was scheduled at 4pm i only got out of the hospital at about 10 plus 11 (but maybe i had more surgeries then).

2nd time i only did fat graft to face i think about 3-4 hours? but after which you would still feel really sleepy and have to go back hotel to rest for sure... :graucho:

Thank you! Wow that's a lot of time for a fat graft operation..

Do you happen to know anyone else who got fat graft done and the fat survived?

Grantz, for fat graft u just have to keep doing it everytime u feel the fats have gone off. Its your own fats so surely u won't feel like it's foreign object in your face. Hahaha. As a matter of fact... I did my 3rd time today! Lol. N I will continue to do it whenever I feel any part of the face not supple enough. :p

But supposedly the fat will survive without a touch up for 3-5 years if done right:crybaby: I don't live in Korea and I can't get it done whenever I start losing it..

You are so lucky! How fast do you deswell? I mean how fast can I get to work without looking like an alien?

Thank you!

I had full face fat grafting 4 months ago. When I visited the clinic, consultant said fat survival would be 50:50.
And they suggested me to have top up after 2.5 months ~ 3 months.

Where did you have it done? Could you tell us a little about your experience? Cost, survival rate, doctor's attitude, consultant, healing process etc..

I had fat grafting at Fresh. Full face fat grafting cost was 2.5 Million won including 2nd top up. (NO 10% VAT is included in this price)
Dr. Hong and consultant were nice and English-speaking consultant took care of me a lot. (She went to the pharmacy and bought a medication for me.
Also she wrote how I could take it and how many times I needed to put the disinfectant on the scar. Also she text me and checked my conditions.)
I stayed in Korea for 10 days and I had 1 post-operative treatment. That was called Heallight. Doctor also gave me a shot for reducing the swelling.
I didn't have any stitches on face, they said they would use dermabond so I didn't have to visit the clinic again for stitches out.

Thank you for answering!

Did you have the second top up yet? How much fat do you estimate has survived so far? Did the doctor mention for how long the survived fat would stay on your face?(estimately again)
Where you able to bargain the price? Even though that is a good price, but I have seen lower than this one..Did you speak any Korean or had a Korean friend to get this price? Or they don't overcharge foreigners?

Again thank you! :)

I didn't have 2nd touch up yet. I think 50% was survived. (This is my guess ^^)
Consultant said fat survival rate would be 50:50 (Some people had lower that 50% survival rate. She said the survival rate was based on personal fat quality)
I didn't have any Korean friend in Korea and I thought it was reasonable price...
