Facial Fat Transfer & Weight Gain

Once fat grafts are taken (survived fat transfer) they behave like your fat deposits elsewhere; when you gain weight they will grow proportionately for that area, not more or less. Considering how small amount of fat is needed to correct missing volume in buccal area and low rate of graft survival (mobility of the area) it is unlikely that you will see overgrowth of fat in grafted area even with significant weight gain? Hope this helps. Good luck.

Thank you for your query. You have two options for filling the hollow areas. You can either have conservative fat injections so that minor weight fluctuations will not matter too much or you can have fillers of hyaluronic acid. The latter will need to be repeated every two years or so but will not change with weight loss or gain. Please find an experienced Board Certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with aal your concerns. All thr best!
