I am considering fat grafting on the rest of my face, however with filler in temples. Is this a smart move? My concern with fat grafted in temples is if there is too much fat placed, therefore look like Frankenstein (and then it's permanent). At least with filler you can build onto it and have more control. But I will have fat graft in my lower face due to the stem cells. How much does one cc of fat weigh? For fat transfers?
Answer: Fat transfer Thank you for your question. Thought it is actually a terrific option in the temples. It is very difficult if not impossible to overcorrect this area because the retention rate of fat in the temples is not as good as other areas of the face. If you are going to use fillers for the temples, I recommend Sculptura. Another option for the temples is an implant. Implants of course are very predictable in size because there is no reabsorption.

Answer: Facial Sculpting Candidate -- Fillers, Threads, Fat Transfer, Implants, See an expert It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option.

Answer: Fat or filler for temples Either fat or filler is an excellent option for transfer to the temples. Both can look very natural and not overdone. The fat has the potential to be permanent. Plus you can take advantage of the added benefit of being sculpted in the process of harvesting the fat.
