Fillers or fat grafting after deep plane facelift?

August 27, 2022
Asked By:JoanX in Los Angeles, California, Yhdysvallat

I had deep plane facelift 6months ago and noted my face started sagging soon after the procedure. My surgeon says I have ”lazy smas” and refuses to revise. I do not wish another invasive procedure either so was thinking about just fillers or fat grafting. The sagging is significant on mid face area and under the eyes. But my tissues are scarred and fibrotic after the procedure. Would the fat even stay in scarred tissue? Are fillers more risky in such tissue?
