Q. Can facial fat grafting improve a flat facial contour?
Yes. Facial fat grafting restores volume to areas such as the forehead,
under-eye area, and cheeks, creating a smoother, more three-dimensional facial contour.
By enhancing naturally deficient areas,
it can improve facial balance while maintaining a soft and natural appearance.

Many people with facial volume loss
are concerned that their face
appears older, flatter,
or has uneven facial contours.
These concerns are especially common
in areas such as the forehead
and temples, where soft tissue
is naturally limited.
For patients with structural volume deficiency,
facial fat grafting can help restore
a smoother facial contour
and improve three-dimensional definition
by selectively adding volume
to areas that need support.
In this case,
the patient chose facial fat grafting
to improve a flat facial appearance
and create a smoother,
more balanced facial contour.
Before facial fat grafting,
the patient had noticeable volume deficiency
in the forehead, front cheeks,
and lateral cheeks,
resulting in a relatively flat
facial contour.
The central forehead appeared flat,
reducing definition in
the upper facial contour,
while both the sloping forehead
and prominent brow bone
became more noticeable.
Volume loss extending from
the under-eye area
to the mid-cheeks
also contributed to
a flatter midface appearance.
Because both the forehead
and central face lacked volume,
the lips appeared relatively prominent,
creating the impression
of a protrusive mouth.
The patient wanted to restore volume
to these deficient areas
while creating a smoother,
more continuous facial contour.
The surgical plan therefore focused on
restoring volume to the forehead first,
followed by natural contour enhancement
of the under-eye area, nasolabial folds,
and lateral cheeks.
In the following photographs,
we will compare the patient’s
appearance before and after
facial fat grafting
to demonstrate the improvement
in overall facial volume and contour.
*Photographs were taken under identical conditions 2.5 months after facial fat grafting.
Following facial fat grafting,
restored volume in the forehead,
front cheeks, and chin
created a smoother,
more three-dimensional
facial contour.
As volume in the central face
became more balanced,
the patient achieved
a brighter and more youthful appearance.
The forehead, which had previously
accentuated the prominent brow bone,
also developed a softer,
more natural contour.
Although fat grafting
was performed throughout the face,
the added volume remained subtle,
resulting in a balanced
and natural-looking outcome.
Because the patient’s goal
was to refine the facial contour
without creating an overfilled appearance,
the treatment was carefully designed
to achieve harmonious,
natural facial enhancement.
