Do They Put Fat Filler Under the Muscle in Face? do or can they put fat filler under the muscle in face

A: Fat transfer placement

Fat grafting is often done such that the fat is placed below the muscles of the face. This is especially the case with the lower eyelids where the thin skin makes hard to hide the fat if placed too close to the surface.

What Can I Expect From Fat Transfer To Stretch Marks? How Does It Compare to Fraxel? (photo) Hi! I am interested in injections of fat containing stem cells into my stretch marks. What can i expect from this treatment with respect to my upper (thin ones) and lower level (thick ones) stretch marks? (And as a further question maybe, how would the results compare to fraxel?) (Due to scar formation, i am not interested in tummy tuck) Thanks a lot!

A: Expect nothing from either treatment

Both of these are completely bogus. There is no successful treatment for stretch marks other than excision as in a tummy tuck. Save your money, don't fall for the "stem cell" or "laser" promised magic - there is none.

Will a Laser Treatment Along With Fat Transfer Extend The Fat Transfer Results? I am considering fat transfer treatment to smooth the appearance of acne scars along my cheeks. One surgeon I consulted with said using a laser treatment in same session as fat transfer, will improve results. Is this true?

A: Laser treatment will improve results in an additive way

Laser treatment will improve the results, but not by amplifying the effect of the fat grafting. Meaning it doesn't make the fat last longer. Let me explain:

Laser resurfacing works in a different way than fat transfer works. It changes the quality of the skin by enhancing collagen production. It will improve the appearance of wrinkles and decrease the depth of the acne scars.

Fat transfer increases the volume beneath the skin, and just like blowing up a balloon makes the surface of the balloon smoother, fat transfer changes the skin surface the same way.

There are some claims that due to the cytokins/growth factors/stem cells within the fat, that it also has a beneficial effect on the skin quality as well. The jury is still out on that claim.

So whether you do the laser at the same time, or you do it at a different time, the effect will still be additive. So if you give laser a positive value of 2 and the fat transfer a positive value of 2, if you do them together, you will get a positive value of 4...laser doesn't enhance the value of the fat transfer to a 3 to make the total 5.

I hope that makes sense

Best of luck
