Can facial fat transfer give a more v shaped jawline?

June 27, 2024
Asked By:BDduncan in Coffeyville, Kansas

I had buccal fat removal in hopes to get a more sculpted jawline but it seems to have done the opposite. My face seems to have fallen and it looks like I have more fat/skin sitting around my jawline and terrible nasolabial folds now. Could fat transfer from my lower face to mid face / cheeks give me more of the heartshape I was trying to obtain or at least a sharper jawline and help the appearance of my nasolabial folds?

After 25 years of facial fat grafting it is possible to say that fat grafting is safe to perform in the same time as blepharoplasty, face lift, brow lift and any other associated procedure in the face and body. Hope this helps.
