i have volume loss in the temple area and lower face (i have restylane under my eyes which caused discoloration). i would like to do filler or fat grafting. However, i hearddifferent opinions: some say that fat is unpredictable if i gain weight the grafted areas will too and will become lumpy and make adhesions worse (i have some internal scarring/adhesion from hematoma 6 mos ago). some say fat will soften scar tissue, that it is permanent. others say fat is temporary . Some suggest fillers.
