A facelift can reposition the midface fat by tightening the skin and underlying muscles.  Without seeing photos, it would be difficult to know if a facelift or midface lift would be the best option.  I would recommend seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon for consultation.

Hello, thank you for your question. Unlike filler lasts shorter duration of time, fat grafting once settled in is permanentIt. Difficult to know what you displeases you without any photos. Speak to your plastic surgeon about your concerns. For more information feel free to check out our website/youtube channel.

Fat  that has been grafted is going to be encased in scar tissue, and much more damage is going to be done to try to reposition it or remove it. The goal of a lower face and neck lift is to tighten loose facial and neck skin, tighten loose facial and neck muscles, lift the jowls, and remove fat deposits in the neck located both above and below the platysma muscle in the neck itself.
