Age 31, how will donor site fat respond to hormonal changes over the years?

Linda4343
Facial fat transfer in a young person (31): I'm a 31 year old female. I got unilateral buccal fat removal and too much fat was taken out. What are my donor site options for fat transfer and is there a donor site for fat that typically responds better in terms of fat distribution when a woman goes through hormonal changes? Is it best to wait for fat transfer when I'm older? My concern is that the fat from the donor site will grow significantly on my face as my body ages. I was interested in getting fat back to buccal area.
