Fat Grafting for Patients in Their 20's, Too Young?

reasonnotrules
I'm 28 and have lost a lot of fat in my cheeks over the past few years. My face used to be round and full, and now it's angular and gaunt, with some nasolabial folds. I look tired all the time. I'm interested in fat grafting, but it seems like all the before/after pictures I see of fat grafting patients who are older (40's and up). I've heard some surgeons say that they do not like to perform this procedure on patients under 30. Would you recommend fat grafting for people in their 20's?
