Am I a good candidate for fat grafting? (Photo)

xeuniexOct 30, 2023
I'm 18 but I have hollow sunken eyes that give me dark circles and weird hollow smile lines that look like a mustache. I know fat grafting is popular for older people but could I get it at 18?

Thank you for your photos. Commonly, I perform fat transfer to the buccal space after buccal lipectomy. It can be performed under local anesthesia and the results are permanent.

No drift with fat grafting. It is permanent movement of fat cells, so if you gain or lose weight in the future the area will get bigger or smaller. I do not like fat graft to calves, implants are a more reliable and powerful solution.

Based on your pictures, a revision liposculpture of the face is possible and may be needed in order to achieve your desired outcome. Best of luck !
