I had a deep plane face and neck lift with some fat grafting in the cheek area. I lost quite a bit of weight, which caused me to have very loose sagging skin, with a somewhat gaunt look, and hollow under eyes. When i was younger i had a very balanced and nice shape of face. Im worried that adding even a small amount of fat just to my cheek will change the contours and shape of my face, what reasons would fat be added just to the upper face? Can this still look natural? Thanks
I'm almost 30, and within the last couple years, I've really noticed changes in my face, such as volume loss and a heaviness in my jawline towards my chin. Weight seems to be settling around my mouth. I'm very opposed to fillers in the face, and would much rather a more permanent solution. Would facial fat transfer be a good option if I'm looking to restore balance to my face?
Hello, Im 22 and have general volume loss in the face. Considering facial fat graft as it is permanent but I know it is high risk. But Im wondering about the risks down the road. Say I get a fft and it goes great : 1 - Is it true fat can migrate down and cause sagging? 2- would I have to monitor weight really closely all the time? WHat about weight gain during menopause ? Would I still have the fat that far down the line? 3 - is it possible to get fat from calves? Or arms?
I am soon to be 30 years old, I have significant facial sagging since my mental breakdown in mid 2021. During that phase I was under a lot of personal stress and it caused me to be very distressed and depressed inwas unable to eat. This period of stress really took its toll on my face and caused facial hollowing. I have since returned to my normal weight and I am not in the stress anymore. However the fat which has returned is not in its original place and my face is now sagging and my eyes
Hi, I am 26 years old male and I have rather narrow jaw. I already used fillers to contour the jaw but I want something more permanent and less invasive than implants. Is fat grafting to the jawline a good idea or it will sag over time and will require surgery to remove the fat?
I had fat grafting done 7 months ago, then I got the ultherapy melted all the fat 2 months ago . My skins are sagging and laxity, hope the fats will regenerate the skin. How soon I can do the fat grafting again?
I've consulted a few plastic surgeons and got different opinions about improving my midface. One says I lack volume, and fillers or fat transfer would be best. Another thinks that I have enough volume, but the problem is tissue sagging. He reccomends a midface lift. I'd be grateful for some advice as I don't feel like adding even more volume to my cheeks. On the other hand, a midface lift (endoscopic) seems to have few positive reviews. I'm in my mid-30s.
this is more of a technicality based question, I was watching videos of facial fat transfers and noticed the needle is inserted quite deep and sometimes agressivly. I wonder if this affects the ligaments in the subcutaneous fat that reach through the other layers and attach to bone? Im interested in receiving a fat transfer but i dont want to unearth the ligaments in my face and potentially cause more problems with looseness and sagging. Is this an associated risk with fat grafts?
I got unilateral buccal fat removal in August of 2021. My face feels saggier and my marionette line looks more marked. There are surgeons that offer to inject fat back to buccal space but will this improve the sagginess in lower face? If not, are there other procedures that can alleviate the problem? Thank you.
