My sister and I are considering fat transfer for tear troughs over fillers. What is a ballpart cost? What are pro's and con's of using fat over filler?

Scott C. Sattler, MD, FACS · Answer

The cvost for fat transfer to the peri-orbital zones of  the face is based on the individual surgeon's clinic, experience, use of anesthesia and facility and other factors.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Cost is dependent on who does the treatment, what type of harvest and area treated, if they use a filtration like puregraft (which I suggest) and PRP for viability. Please see an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Yuly Gorodisky, DO, FACOS · Answer

I usually encourage my patients to get filler rather than fat in the tear troughs. The possibility of having the fat grow (with weight gain) can make for a very odd look. Surgical correction is another option, with the fat from the lower lid transposed into the tear trough and the lid is tightened.  This is a more permanent solution.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Be very careful who you go to to have the procedure performed. Fat grafting in this area can be very visible and palpable if not done precisely.
