Fat not the best choice for lines
Fat can be injected into folds but it won’t last very long. If you are interested in a long-term filer option you may want to consider ArteFill

Fat transfer
Physicians may peform fat injections by harvesting fat each session and performing this a few times in a year. Others harvest and store the fat and use thawed fat on repeat visits. The costs per treatment vary because of this. Each physician charges differently.

Fat transfer for marionette lines
Please watch Dr. Lam's nice video discussion from a scientific meeting. Realize that fat grafting is not for fine line correction but for deeper volume enhancemnt. As such, some of the injectable fillers may really work better in this area.

Marionette Lines, a Difficult Area to Correct
Hi Anonx,
I fully agree with Dr. Lam, a true pioneer and excellent fat transfer facial plastic surgeon. I have been recently very impressed with the results of Sculptra (when properly used) in the lower lateral chin area. Again, the filler is used as a volume contouring agent, not as a line filler.
Good luck and be well.
