First photo day of filler treatment 2 years ago. Second photo is current. I was happy with the results, but they only lasted 4 months. I was told it would last a year to 18 months. It was so expensive for it to not last longer.

Answer: Fast Metabolizer Hi there! Being a fast metabolizer of filler is definitely a challenge. Have you considered fat transfer? This procedure involves harvesting fat, typically from around the belly button, and processing it into smaller particles which can be placed within the face for volume. This procedure can be done in clinic and the results often last 5-10 years. The appearance is very natural. The face has to be overinflated by 30-50% as we expect some of the fat not to live upon transfer. The final results occur after 1-3 months. A facial plastic surgeon may be a great next step to see if this is an option for you!

Answer: Hope for those who metabolize fillers too quickly If you are a non-smoker, the obvious answer is an autologous fat transfer. Taking fat from another area in your body and using it to add volume to your face will not only give you lasting results, you will be able to do a more complete correction. If you are doing more than 4 syringes of filler in a year, it makes complete sense both economically and results wise to use your own fat instead of fillers.
