Fat transfer to back of head? (Photo)

Gorgeous7226Aug 29, 2023
Dear all, I posted a similar question many months ago and saw others asking for fat transfer to the head aswell. I would like to get a professional opinion on what can be expected from adding volume to the scalp using fat reagrding permanent/longterm results? Since it depends on each individual case and the amount of fat, I attached a picture for better understanding of my case. Would it be possible with one or two fat grafting sessions so achieve the shown result permanently? Many thanks!

Nano fat is highly filtered or stained facial fat. I use the Tulip system to filter fat. Nano fat is excellent for under eye filling. Fat is natural and has abundant stem cells.
