It is common to find people who were self-conscious about chubby cheeks as children and then worry about losing facial fat as they get older. If too much fat is lost and volume disappears, the features can look flat and the face can look older, which becomes another worry. In fact, celebrities and other youthful-looking people tend to have full, taut volume in the forehead, cheeks, front cheekbones and nasolabial areas. That is why the heart-line face shape, three-dimensional yet youthful, is drawing new attention. The problem is that creating a heart-line face is not easy through effort alone. That is even more the case if facial fat in the areas that need it has naturally disappeared with age or was never there to begin with. Since the face is one of the first places to lose fat when dieting, it is also hard to pursue alongside body management. So some people choose heart-line fat grafting after much thought, wanting to overcome an aged look and gain a youthful one. Dr. Yoosuk Chung, Director of TheLINE Plastic Surgery, said, "It is a way to restore facial volume while completing a slim face shape, but as with every plastic surgery procedure it has to be decided carefully," adding, "Having a one-on-one consultation with a specialized medical team first is important." Heart-line fat grafting is a full-face fat grafting procedure that creates the heart line known to make a woman's face look most beautiful and youthful, and what characterizes it is a face with restored volume that still looks slim and V-lined. Looking at the recent trend in fat grafting, it lies in natural rather than excessive fat injection and in a high graft survival rate. Unlike before, a facial line that looks more natural is preferred over heavy fat injection, and the focus has moved to whether the result lasts longer. Accordingly, heart-line fat grafting grafts the patient's own fat into areas that need volume such as the forehead, cheeks, front cheekbones, upper eyelids and nasolabial folds for a youthful look, and it raises the graft survival rate through 5-stage micro-fractionated fat grafting, which places fat in the skin layers in several stages, and Lipokit fat grafting, which minimizes the exposure of fat cells to air. In addition, it gives just enough volume so that the face looks three-dimensional not only from the front but also from the side and at an angle, and it does not stop at simply injecting fat: overall facial balance is maintained through movement, repositioning and injection. Dr. Junmo Bang, Director at the clinic, said, "Because it is a procedure that uses the patient's own fat, there is less concern about side effects and it generally does not interfere with daily life, but since it is performed on the face it calls for care," adding, "It is necessary to choose a clinic where a specialized medical team with rich clinical experience handles everything from consultation to procedure."
