Seen 3 doctors. 1: face & necklift, lipoinjections with malar pad elevation. 2: face and neck only. 3: lower face(SMAS) and neck with multilevel fat grafting. What are your feelings on fat grafting? Is it necessary? I'm confused and just wanted jowls and neck corrected.
Three dimensional volume loss from fat atrophy and bone resorption begins in 3rd decade of life. All you have to do is look at relatives from childhood to grandparenting to see we're left with just skin and bones. Therefore, volume replacement is in almost every discussion with any patient who seeks rejuvenation. All one has to do is see the success of fillers in todays cosmetic pratice to realize the value of facial augmentation.
I perform my fat transfers at the same time as facelifts. Yes there is some resorption and increased swelling, but the filler is natural, permanent, and usually abundant. Before asking your physician about their opinion on fat grafting, ask them how many patients they've grafted....it's more art than science, but the results are unparalleled and long lasting.
That being said, if jowls are your concern, volume augmentation in the midface can improve your result, but your real value is in the facelift, I hope this answers your question.
