So I want to go in for fat grafting, but I am unsure how much I'm looking at? I need not much just maybe 2 full syringes maybe even 1.5 however much that is? Ohh plus a medium lip implant (upper lip) I need to fix the fat grafting in my lip I had last year. I would like to transfer fat from my stoumch or thighs to my face around the temple area to even it out with the other side. Not much like 10ml .
Answer: We move fat
Fat grafting is a wonderful procedure that allows for restoration of volume loss with your own tissue. It is also a permanent filler so there is no need for repeat injections as seen with the other fillers. The cost usually starts around $3,500. Check out my website for more details and photos.

Answer: Fat Grafting and Cost
In general, you should probably fill any and all areas that are appropriate at one time. This should reduce the cost long term. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs fat transfers hundreds of times per year. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Fat transfer cost
Dear pinksugar23,
The costs listed by the other surgeons is generally accurate
Fat transfer is a fantastic procedure that is permanent, and can be done without clumps or bumps
10ml of fat is really very little, and it may not be worth a fat transfer
Typically we transfer anywhere from 30-100cc of fat because we have to make up for resorption
There is variation between fat transfer surgeons, make sure you find one who is confident and know what they are doing
Best regards,
Nima Shemirani

Answer: Fat grafting to the face unfortunately causes more problems than it is worth in most cases.regardless of what you spend.
Most docs have given up on large volume fat grafting to the face since it doesn't last and often ends up lumpy and bumpy for the patients. A little here and there is ok for some patients for 6-12 months effect but don't expect it to be permanent and do expect continued touch ups every 3-6 months at additional costs to camouflage the irregularities and not to speak of the huge bruising and swelling for 2-3 weeks before you look human again. Fat injections to the lips run $1500-2500 while larger areas run $4-6,000. There are so many better fillers than fat now a days, that it its not worth the problems of fat injections for many patients. Sincerely,
David Hansen,MD
