Know-hows of Wonjin’s Implant Insertion

  • 1

    1:1 custom-made implant
    Wonjin analyzes the overall facial ratio and the bone structure before customizing the implant.
    Custom-made implants can prevent implant dislocation and can result to a more natural impression.

  • 2

    Attached deeply inside the skin
    For natural volume, the implant must be inserted deep inside the skin layer.
    Wonjin accurately measures the skin thickness to fixate the implant deep inside and therefore, natural volume and shape can be achieved.

  • 3

    Fixation on 3 sites
    Previous pyriform surgery fixated only 2 sites of the implant, which increased the possibility of implant dislocation.
    Wonjin fixates the 3 sites of the implant to reduce such detachments.

This is a method wherein fats are extracted from other parts of the body such as thighs, buttocks abdomen areas, and engrafted on sunken facial areas.
As fats are autologous, the possibility of complication is remarkably low.
Once the fat is engrafted, the result is semi-permanent and you can have another procedures done if you think you need more volume.
The recovery is quick and there is no scar left as it will be injected through fine syringe.

Autologous Fat Grafting Surgery Method

  • 1

    Fat extraction
    WoThe fat will be collected from abdomen or thigh with small cannula. The amount of the fat extracted is not a lot so it won’t change the size of extracted area.

  • 2

    Centrifugation
    The extracted fat will be centrifuged through centrifugal separator. This procedure just collects pure fats by removing dirty fats, wastes and other impurities.

  • 3

    Fat injection
    The collected pure fat will be injected to the area where the volume needs. It will be injected little by little under the skin layer and muscle to make natural looking.

Filler injection is recommended in case of minor cases.
It does not require a long recovery time as it does not have severe swelling, bruising and scar, and immediate return to daily activities is allowed.
