Does grafted fat migrate down the face along with fat pads?

Question

From what I understand, a big part of aging is descending fat pads. If one were to get fat on their cheekbones, would that fat eventually descend down the face?

Well with gravity everything drops eventually. However, you always be ahead of the curve if you transfer fat into the cheeks. You cannot stop gravity. But you can stop looking old.  Somewhat.
