Is 'fat graphing' the same procedure as a 'fat injection'? I am contemplating a face and neck lift and the surgeon recommended a 'fat injection,' where he would take a few tsp. of fat from stomach and inject it into face. (he also indicated that the transferred fat may not last).
Answer: Fat grafting is the same thing as fat injection Fat grafting is the same thing as fat injection. Grafting is a term used in plastic surgery when tissue is taken from one place and transferred to another and then it is allowed to heal in place. The healing depends on the ability of this transferred tissue to survive long enough until new blood vessels are formed to provide blood supply, oxygen, and nutrients to this transferred or grafted tissue.

Answer: The procedure are the same Only the terminology is different; the procedure is the same. Not all fat lives in the new environment, some may and some will be dissolved by your body. There is no guarantee as to how much fat will remain and often it is done as a series of several sessions even after a facelift.

Answer: Fat Transfer Fat grafting and fat transfer and fat injections are all the same thing. Some fat is removed from desired areas and then treated and injected into the areas that need the volume.
