Facial Fat transfer into SMAS - where should the fat be placed?

Asked By:RealSelfMember088172 in Denver, Colorado

Liposuction to lower 1/3 of face left me with little to no subcutaneous fat. I have now seen 6 PS, most local. Last 2 consults say that my buccal fat is gone (taken by lipo); dark bruising for 3 months there. Some say superficial fat transfer shows irregularities, deep fat placement into SMAS muscle recommended. I’d like a staged procedure that replaces the fat where it came from (subcutaneous), but have been told the fat will die or look odd. Where should the fat be placed? Fat in muscle?!
