Fat Transfer to Face is Diminishing with Weight Loss, Will it Return if I Gain Weight Back?

January 14, 2012
Asked By:SereneFireFly in Los Angeles, CA

I had fat transfer to correct an asymmetry in my jaw several years ago. It's been stable for the last couple of years. However, recently I've been losing weight as a result of an illness and have noticed that the transfer appears to be diminishing as well. I'm wondering if it will come back after I regain some of the weight, or if it's gone forever...
