Fat Grafting, Fat Injection, Fat Transfer all the same

Kevin Ende, MD answers: Difference between fat grafting and fat injection?

Is "fat graphing" the same procedure as a "fat injection"? I am contemplating a face and neck lift and the surgeon recommended a "fat injection," where he would take a few tsp. of fat from stomach and inject it into face. (he also indicated that the transferred fat may not last).

Fat Grafting, Fat Injection, and Fat Transfer are all the same. Different surgeons use different techniques to perform these procedures. Discuss with your surgeon exactly how he plans to perform this. The results are unpredictable, but excellent outcomes are possible.
