I am trying to determine whether micro fat grafting is a better option for cheek augmentation than implants. I was researching it today and saw that some final results look great, better than any of the cheek augmentation photos I've seen. But I'm still apprehensive about taking this route. How long do micro fat grafting results usually last?

Answer: Fat transfer results for Cheek Augmentation / Facial Contouring -- fat grafting, water-assisted harvesting, PRP, Sculptra Fat transfer results are permanent, but not all fat will survive. Harvesting is important to fat transfer. I use water-assisted fat harvesting which gives pure fat to transfer and combine with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to get the most viable and sustainable fat cells. This can be combined with Sculptra, depending on the treatment area, to improve the outcome. Volume and contouring of the cheeks can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra. Implants or fat are both alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Fat Transfer Result Fat grafting results can be permanent and long term results can usually be seen after 4 to 6 months of healing. Fat does provide a soft and natural looking volumizing effect in face contouring treatments. A careful evaluation of your face with help decide between cheek implants vs. fat, or both in some cases. Fat survival can be unpredictable and in some cases, may require more than 1 treatment to obtain the desired result.
