Fat injections
You may not be a good candidate for fat injections as there may not be enough fat to harvest on your body to use for your face. Furthermore, as you age, you may put more weight on your body than you now have and at that time, your facial fat may take on more fat making it look disporportionate from your body. Correction of fat injections are not easy so you don't want to undertake this project unless you know the potential worst case scenarios such as lumps and bumps that you...

Best Treatment for Thin Faced 20 Year Old Male...Sculptra, Fillers, or Fat?
Hi Jonass,
Fat transfer is an excellent procedure, but I would advise against it in the face of a thin 20 year old. Fat can be unpredictable, and as young women get older and gain some weight, the living abdominal fat cells in the face can hypertrophy and distort the face. You should consult with an experienced and skilled facial filler injecting physician who can guide you towards what is best for you. I would use Sculptra. Good luck and be well.

Fat transfer in a 20 year old male patient
There is a saying when you get older that you need to choose between your figure and your face. What this means is that many women and men who are thin and going through the aging process will loose volume to the face. In fat transfer we replace that volume to add the
fullness and youthful appearance that has been lost due to these changes. In your situation you are very young and some weight gain will probably be beneficial to you and fill in some of those areas. The other problem with...

Fat Transfer in 20 Year Old Man
Your face will likely fill out with some weight gain. How added weight would affect the rest of your body, you would know best.
Most of us here on this board are jealous of your 3% body fat ... But the combination of young age and low body fat would also disqualify you from being a good fat transfer candidate - at least in my practice.
