facelift surgery combined with fat grafting typically starts from
₩10,000,000, depending on the extent of lifting and volume restoration needed. This dual approach addresses both sagging skin and volume loss, delivering a more complete and natural-looking facial rejuvenation.
A Facelift with Fat Grafting is a combined surgical facial rejuvenation procedure designed to address both facial sagging and age-related volume loss. While the facelift component lifts and repositions sagging tissues, fat grafting restores natural fullness to areas that appear hollow or flattened with aging, creating a more balanced and youthful appearance.
What Is a Facelift with Fat Grafting?
A Facelift with Fat Grafting combines traditional facelift techniques with autologous fat transfer. Fat is gently harvested from another area of the body, purified, and strategically injected into specific facial regions to restore volume and improve contour while the facelift corrects tissue descent.

Facelift with Fat Grafting vs Facelift Alone
A Facelift with Fat Grafting differs from a facelift alone:
- Addresses both sagging and volume loss
- Restores youthful fullness rather than tightening only
- Enhances facial balance and softness
- Often produces more comprehensive rejuvenation
A facelift alone may be sufficient when volume loss is minimal.
Recovery After Facelift with Fat Grafting
Recovery typically includes:
- Swelling and bruising during the first 1–2 weeks
- Gradual improvement in facial contour and volume
- Return to daily activities as healing progresses
- Continued refinement of results over several months
Swelling from fat grafting may take longer to fully settle.
How Long Facelift with Fat Grafting Results Last
Results are generally long-lasting. Lifted facial contours remain improved for many years, and transferred fat that successfully integrates may provide permanent volume enhancement. Natural aging continues, but facial balance remains improved compared to pre-surgery appearance.
Facelift with Fat Grafting Aftercare Guidelines
After surgery, general recommendations may include:
