I am a 26 year old female with premature aging/gauntness of the face due to severe stress the past couple years. I have decided to get fat transfer done to the malar and submalar areas as well as the chin and jawline to restore the oval face I once had. I'd also like fat tranferred to my gaunt forehead and my eyebrow area, on the browbone and just under it for more beautiful eyes, it seems I have lost fat there and my eyes are looking a little bit 'hooded' compared to before...is this possible?
