Does this mean that i will never be able to have fillers in the future? Does this mean that i cannot have another fat transfer too?

Fillers and fat grafting
Fillers after fat grafting really shoudl b eno problem per se especially after 14 years. I prefer hyaluronic acids because I think Sculptra may lead to granuloma formation more than the others, and the hyaluronic acids can be dissolved.

Injectable Fillers may often be used after fat grafting for additional volume.
In my practice, Injectable Fillers may be used to add additional volume to your cheeks after fat-transfer.

You may want to consult another dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon experienced in the delicate art of using fillers in your cheeks.
I hope this helps you.
