Difference Between Fat Grafting and Fat Injection?

Researcher7
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).
