I Had Fat Grafting 5 Weeks Ago. Now I Would Like Deep Plane Face Lift to Lift my Jowls & I am 52 years old & although I love the fat grafting I had about 5 weeks ago, the fat grafting did not lift my face. I have some slight jowling, nasolabial folds,and drooping of the mid-face. I am planning on getting a deep plane face lift by a differnt facial plastic surgeon who is local. I flew to a different town to get the fat grafting. The local facial plastic surgeon doesn't do fat grafting & indicated that facelift would not hurt the fat grafting. However, I wanted to confirm this.

Yes you can remove these. I would go to someone that is familiar with this or you could run into problems if they are not familiar with this revisional type of work.
Dear Dilee,
As we age, some of our dermal fats and deep facial fats are reduced or lost. This process results in hollowness of facial features that contribute to appearing older. Since you had a lower face lift, your best option is fat grafting. I recommend getting fat grafting with PRP...
This is a procedure that was the talk of the town for along while until it became obvious that it did not hold up very long.The idea was novel but it was expensive and didn't last.It involved putting some barbed sutures under your skin to lift it up.Great concept but not ling lasting.
