Micro fat graft uses patient’s own fat tissues, therefore is safe and brings lasting effect. If the volume is insufficient, a corrective procedure can be performed. Older patients prefer this treatment due to its excellent rejuvenation effect.

Silhouette lifting is effective in improving sagging cheeks or facial skin and is carried out through a fine incision at the temporal region. Unlike traditional thread lift, corrective procedure is carried out 1 year after the initial treatment for better outcome.
