How long does fat transfer to the face generally last and about how expensive is it? Do they fill the nasolabial areas? Does this involve going under sedation or local anesthetic to extract the fat? Is this harvested and kept by the surgeon and for how long?

Answer: Fat Transfer to the face
With age we loose volume in our face. Therefore part of the rejuvenation process one should take in consideration the shape of the face desired. Fat transfer to the face has been done for many many years. It is very successfyl and lasts long time, at least 5 years, becaause we continue to age.
I base it on seeing photographs of patients when they were young and disscuss what shape they want then evaluate the face and decide with the patient where and how much fat is needed to each area.
Some times both face lift and fat transfer is needed for complete rejuvenation of the face. The rejuvenation process should be individualized to the needs of the patients and their ultimate goal.
Threfore the cost will vary as to what is done
Just fat transfer to the face may cost $ 5-7K.
