Where can and can't you inject fat on the face? The doctor I recently consulted with told me that fat cannot be injected into the nose tip and chin because fat doesn't exist there.
Fat grafting or transfer is a great way to improve the harsh facial contours that develop as one ages. In my hands, I do not inject fat in the lips (it absorbs too fast because of all of the motion) and I do not inject specific fine wrinkles. I use other injectables for those problems. Other than that I feel that I can really improve the global changes in the face with fat. The results are soft and natural appearing. It can be a stand alone procedure in younger patients or combined with other procedures in older patients. Good luck!
Does the area were the fat is liposuctioned from leave a scar.
The incision for fat that is harvested is so small that it is not a major concern to the patients. If you have problems healing consider using silicone band aids or gel after the procedure and make sure to stay out of the sun. Fat grafting is a great procedures that my patients really love. Enjoy!
I'm contemplating between chin implant and fat transfer to the chin. But, I'm confused between the two options, as to which one is better aesthetically and more lasting, also, which one gives a more natural result? If chin Implant is a better option then what kind of chin Implant is a better one in the market? Thanks in advance.
Although I fat grafting is one of my procedures of choice, in a young patient with an isolated chin issue I would opt for the chin implant. While I agree that there are risks to every procedure, the chin implant is straightforward, long lasting and predictable. If it is for aging face concerns and fat grafting is being done to other areas of the face I might be tempted to just proceed with fat grafting to the chin as well. Good luck!
