Is fat transfer the right procedure for me or should I get a facelift? (Photo)

Question

Hello I'm a 23 years old man and I have deep hollow undereyes and some excessive fat on my nasolabial folds and on the corner of my mouth Can fat transfer on my undereyes or my cheek add enough volume to lift my skin and fix the problem or should I get a facelift ? I’ve included a picture of what I would like to look like, it’s when I slightly pull my skin upward I'm also not interested in fillers

Hi, thank you for your question. Treatment options can vary depending on the individual, but considering your age and primary concerns, non-surgical interventions would be best to start with. Facelifts are reserved for clients who have sagging skin and muscle and require the excision of excess tissue to achieve their desired look. If you want the 'lifted' look, you can explore a thread lift. Fat transfer and filler treatments also work to address under-eye hollowness. It’s difficult to give a definitive answer without an in-person evaluation. I recommend consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine the most suitable treatment for you.
