Lipofilling (Fat Grafting) in PHD Clinic
About the clinic
Lipofilling, also known as fat grafting, is a cosmetic procedure that uses your own body fat to restore volume and improve skin quality. At PHD Clinic in Pattaya, Thailand, this treatment is performed by cosmetic surgeons with international fellowships from the USA and Korea. The clinic focuses on high biocompatibility by using autologous fat, which helps avoid reactions to foreign substances.
Advanced Fat Grafting Techniques
The clinic uses three specific types of fat to meet different patient needs. Micro Fat works best for adding volume to the cheeks, temples, breasts, or hips. Nano Fat is a thinner substance used to treat fine lines, skin rejuvenation, and dark circles under the eyes. For those seeking better results, SVF or Cell-Rich Fat provides a higher concentration of regenerative cells. This method helps more fat cells survive after the transfer.
The procedure follows a clear four-step process. First, the surgeon assesses the donor areas and skin quality during a consultation. Next, they harvest fat from the abdomen, thighs, or hips using gentle manual liposuction. The fat then goes through centrifugation or filtration to isolate healthy cells. Finally, the doctor injects the fat in layers using small cannulas to help it get a proper blood supply.
Expert Surgical Team
The medical team at PHD Clinic includes specialists with diverse international training. Dr. Teerasak Pattayadeekul is a cosmetic surgeon and a Fellow in facial plastic surgery from Fort Lauderdale, USA. He also holds a PhD in Dermatology. Dr. Thaweeporn Treepraphakorn is a Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and completed a fellowship in Korea. Dr. Orwara Witsawakul further supports the aesthetic department with a certificate from the ISHRS.
Recovery and Results
The clinic reports a 70% fat survival rate using their specific harvesting technique. Any fat that does not survive is naturally absorbed by the body within one to three months. Once the fat settles, it becomes a permanent part of the body and reacts to weight changes. Patients should follow specific recovery steps to help the fat stay in place:
- Early Care: Use cold compresses for the first 72 hours and sleep with your head elevated.
- Activity Limits: Avoid heavy exercise for one to two weeks and stay away from saunas or heat for a month.
- Protection: Do not press on or massage the treated areas while the fat is settling.
- Compression: Wear compression garments on the donor sites where the fat was removed.
Swelling typically improves within 14 days, with final results visible after three months. To learn more about this procedure at PHD Clinic, you can leave a request on Bookimed.

Experience and Accreditations
The medical team has completed over 10,000 hair transplant cases during 16 years of practice. Specialists hold Diplomate status with the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS). This certification signals adherence to international standards in hair restoration.
Hair Restoration and Scalp Care
The clinic treats various forms of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia and stress-induced thinning. Hair restoration takes place in sterile operating rooms using surgical and non-surgical methods:
- FUE and DHI techniques for precise graft placement
- Long Hair Hair Transplant, which restores thinning areas without shaving the recipient site
- Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) to create the appearance of hair density
- Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) to stimulate follicles
For non-surgical cases, the clinic offers cell therapy and medical drug treatments to manage hormonal hair loss. Surgeons provide detailed aftercare guidance. Patients typically return to daily activities within 14 days of a FUE procedure.
Cosmetic Surgery and Facial Rejuvenation
The surgical department focuses on facial aesthetic procedures and body contouring. Specialists perform complex operations including SMAS-focused facelifts and combined face-and-neck lifts. For patients seeking less invasive options, the clinic offers a short-scar mini facelift. This procedure uses a 0.5 cm incision hidden along the hairline, so scarring stays minimal.
Other available cosmetic procedures include:
- Lower blepharoplasty to remove under-eye fat bags
- Chin augmentation using silicone implants or fat grafting
- Rhinoplasty, including open, closed, and tip-only techniques
- Liposuction and facial fat transfer for rejuvenation
Patients over 40 must undergo an ECG and health check before major surgeries. The clinical team monitors recovery during follow-up appointments one to two weeks after the procedure.
Advanced Slimming and Aesthetic Technology
The dedicated Obesity Clinic provides medical weight-loss programs for patients with a BMI over 25. The center uses a multidisciplinary approach involving endocrinologists and dietitians. Treatment plans often include HI-EMT Magshape technology. This system uses electromagnetic energy to build muscle and reduce fat at the same time.
The clinic uses specific technology for aesthetic and wellness treatments:
- Theranova Energy Booster for vacuum and heat wave therapy
- KN-8000B and LS-D620 laser devices for hair thinning
- Premium Ixygen Dome for LED and oxygen therapy
Diagnostic assessments for weight-loss patients include blood tests to check liver and kidney function. These evaluations confirm that patients are healthy enough for metabolism-accelerating therapies.
Services for International Patients
PHD Clinic provides free online assessments through WhatsApp and other messaging platforms. This lets patients receive a preliminary plan before traveling to Thailand. The medical team provides support in English to assist with treatment coordination. Local branches sit in major tourism hubs, so patients can combine medical care with a vacation.
