Lengthening the face using fat transfer?

Question

I believe i have a short face? So my question is 1)can we lenghten the lower third of the face using fat transfer? 2)how much VERTICAL length can be increased using fat transfer?

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. A facial fat transfer is unlikely to lengthen your face vertically, though dermal filler injections can be used to create a more symmetrical appearance and add volume to your facial features. Increasing volume in various parts of the face can enhance contours and change your face’s shape to achieve a desirable, yet natural-looking result. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified injector. They will be able to discuss your aesthetic goals with you and determine the best treatment option to help you achieve them.

Fat transfer does not sound like a good solution to your problem. Without pictures we can’t make an assessment.
Consider having in person consultations with oral surgeons or plastic surgeons in your community.
Best,
