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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
