Filling where it's needed, naturally
A face that hollows with age restored naturally with autologous fat
Consult about youthful fat graftingDo you feel changes like these?
Even in the mirror, it doesn't look like me
My weight is the same, but my face looks hollowed
My forehead and temples look sunken
My under-eyes and nasolabial folds are hollowed, making me look older
Filler fades quickly after I get it
I want to look younger naturally but don't know how
Aging is a matter of volume filling the hollows is what brings back a youthful look
Why the face hollows with age
Fat-layer loss
With age, the facial fat layer thins. Volume loss is especially noticeable in the forehead, temples, under-eyes, and cheeks.
Bone resorption
The facial skeleton also ages. As bone is resorbed, the structure supporting the skin weakens and sagging accelerates.
Loss of skin elasticity
Skin elasticity declines as collagen and elastin decrease. Areas without volume are more affected by gravity.
Why autologous fat grafting, not filler
Autologous fat that takes becomes part of your face
Youthfulness comes not from one spot but from connection
A face that looks younger than its age is not a face bulging in one area, but a face with little hollowing and soft transitions between areas.
- Soft forehead curvature
- Non-hollow temples
- Under-eye–anterior-cheekbone transition
- Central volume (anterior cheek)
- Support around the nasolabial fold
- Lip–chin lower-face balance
Fat grafting that fills, and fat grafting designed to look younger
Even the same autologous fat grafting gives a different result depending on what you look at when designing.
Youthfulness isn't plumpness but soft transition and balance
Choose an area we divide the face and design it precisely
Full-face youthful fat grafting
The whole face's volume integrated into one map
Forehead fat grafting
A flat, narrow forehead into a soft curvature
Temple fat grafting
Hollowed temples restoring the upper-face frame
Under-eye fat grafting
Under-eye shadows and steps improving a tired impression
Midface · anterior-cheek fat grafting
Anterior cheekbone & central volume restoring dimension
Nasolabial fat grafting
Designing midface support rather than the line
Lip fat grafting
Natural volume for thinned lips
Chin fat grafting
A short chin & lower face balance and profile
Youthful fat grafting, why it should be NB
Micro fat-purification technique
We purify much more finely than in ordinary fat grafting. The finer it is, the more even the grafting and the more stably it can settle. It is the key to natural volume.
Whole-face volume-balance design
Filling only one area looks unnatural. We analyze the whole-face volume distribution and design it in a natural proportion.
Operated directly by a plastic surgery specialist
The plastic surgery specialist you meet at the first consultation is the same doctor in the operating room. The intended volume is completed only when the doctor who designed it grafts directly.
Principle of a natural result
Not overfilled or artificial volume, but a natural restoration of lost volume. We aim for your face from 10 years ago.
Ultrafat — supporting graft survival with ultrasonic fat purification
We ultrasonically purify the harvested autologous fat with the Ultrafat device. By removing damaged fat cells and grafting only viable fat, graft survival can be supported. It is the secret to more natural, longer-lasting volume.
Not a one-time volume but a process of settling in
In fat grafting, the volume at the moment of injection isn't everything. We design considering the graft survival and stabilization process as the grafted fat settles in.
Graft survival & stabilization
Graft survival of the transplanted fat varies by individual. It is affected by the amount injected, layer, movement, blood flow, and recovery, so we avoid overhasty judgment before stabilization and monitor the course together.
Second-stage fat grafting
The second stage is not a process of overfilling deficient areas. After the first stage has stabilized, it is a fine adjustment that carefully supplements deficient or lacking areas based on that result.
Before filling, we look at the whole face together
The doctor directly analyzes the forehead, temples, under-eye–anterior-cheekbone transition, central volume, nasolabial fold, and chin balance, and designs it moderately by calculating even the volume remaining after the graft takes. Rather than simply filling, we design the face to look younger, smaller, and more dimensional.
When the face is filled, expressions change

Youthful fat grafting frequently asked questions
How long does it last after fat grafting?
Fat that takes is long-lasting. Typically, the source describes about 60–80% of the grafted fat surviving.
How can graft survival be improved?
Micro-purification technique and post-procedure care matter. NB uses a micro-grafting method designed to support graft survival.
Can I get filler and fat grafting together?
Yes. Depending on the area, combining filler and fat grafting can be effective.
Where is the fat harvested from?
It is harvested from fat-rich areas such as the abdomen and thighs. With a small harvest, scars or marks are minimal.
How long does swelling last?
Initial swelling is 1–2 weeks, and the final result is complete after 3–6 months.
Which is better, full-face or per-area?
If several areas are hollowed, full-face suits you; if only a specific area concerns you, per-area suits you. It is decided after a consultation with the doctor.
