Fat Grafting & Liposuction

Department: Plastic Surgery · Fat Grafting & Liposuction Category.
Consultation Model: 1:1 Specialist Consultation with Chief Director Dr. Hee Young Lee.

Overview of Fat Grafting & Liposuction

Fat Grafting & Liposuction at UNI Plastic Surgery addresses facial and body contour balance by harmonizing volume reduction in areas of excess adipose tissue with refined autologous volume restoration where soft-tissue fullness has diminished. Rather than applying a uniform volume formula, Chief Director Dr. Hee Young Lee evaluates skin elasticity, underlying skeletal support, and contour transitions during a private 1:1 consultation.

Key Clinical Focus & Candidate Considerations

• Autologous Facial & Volume Balancing: Restores natural soft-tissue contours using purified autologous fat harvested from suitable donor areas.
• Targeted Contour Refinement: Addresses localized fat deposits while preserving smooth anatomical transitions and skin surface harmony.
• 1:1 Specialist Assessment: Evaluated directly by a board-certified Plastic Surgeon (Full Member of KSPRS and KSAPS) in English or Korean.
• Private On-Site Recovery: Supported by dedicated single-occupancy recovery rooms on the 5th Floor in Apgujeong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (300m from Apgujeong Station Exit 3).
