I have a round face, and it is noticeably asymmetrical. I've heard that fat transfer can be used to fix asymmetry, and I would rather have a fat transfer done because it is less invasive than an implant. But I'm also interested in having a more sculpted heart shaped face, can fat grafting be used to create high cheekbones?

Hello,
As long as there is no outbreak there should not be a problem. There is also no harm taking a suppressive medication such as Valtrex several days before and a week after just to be on the safe side.
I showed my reslts with this to a national plastic surgery meeting almost 12 years ago and still there are questions by my colleagues over whether it works or not...Well it does work well but as in all plastic surgeries you must choose one experienced with the technique
I am sorry that you had a bad experience. I never do fat grafting for folds near the mouth because it simply does not work at all. Fat is too soft and unpredictable to manage small areas like that. However, fat grafting is literally the most amazing thing to make a face look...
