A 24-year-old lady from Shenzhen traveled to HANFEI Plastic Surgery Hospital for autologous fat facial filling,
hoping to fix her flat cheeks that made her look “serious” in dance videos.
As a rising dance blogger, she posted short covers of popular dances online—but her thin cheeks made her look stern, even when she danced to upbeat songs, and viewers often commented that she “looked too serious to be having fun.” She’d tried temporary fillers before, but the results only lasted 3 months, and she wanted something longer-lasting that would move naturally with her face during dance routines.
We planned the procedure to fit her blogging schedule: first, we extracted a small amount of fat from her lower abdomen (where she had a slight, stubborn layer) using gentle liposuction. This area was chosen because the fat cells are more resilient and have a higher survival rate, which meant the results would last 1-2 years. The fat was purified using a low-speed centrifuge to remove impurities, then injected into her cheeks using a “micro-droplet” technique—this ensures the fat is distributed evenly, avoiding lumps that would be noticeable when she moved her face. The entire procedure took 1 hour and 30 minutes, and she had mild swelling on her cheeks for 5 days—she covered it with light makeup and resumed filming short dance clips after a week.
By the end of the second month, the fat cells had fully integrated, and her cheeks had a natural, healthy fullness. When she smiled, her cheeks lifted gently, making her expressions warmer and more approachable. She sent me a clip of her latest K-pop dance cover, saying, “Viewers are commenting that I look ‘happier’ now! Some even said they started following me because my energy feels more positive—no one has guessed about the filling.” She added that the fullness in her cheeks moves perfectly with her dance expressions, too—no stiff or unnatural looks, even when she does dramatic facial movements for choreography.
