Fat loss after laser damage, will it grow back in my age range (20s)?

Question

I had fat apoptosis in my facial after a damaged from a laser treatment which make my facial fat cell number decrease, and my face shape changed. I’m 20 years old right now .. Do you think I still gain a new fat cells in numbers ? I've read about us stop gaining new fat cells at our mid 20s

Unfortunately, yes we stop creating new fats cells in our 20s but the good news it that those fat cells do increase and decrease in size (when you gain and loose wait). The fat cells number stays the same but the appearance does change. You may want to consider other alternatives to help with your issue. I am not sure if this happened only in a particular area of your face but, dermal fillers are a great alternative to plump up the face. 
Fat can also be grafted from an area of your body and strategically injected on your face.
Good luck!KM
