I do not have pockets of fat anywhere on my body. I am lean. Is it possible I do not have enough fat for fat injections for my face?
Answer: Is it possible to not have enough fat for fat injections for my face? Yes, it is very possible to not have enough fat for fat injections for the face.Many patients who require volume augmentation in the face are very thin or perhaps an athlete with little body fat. In these instances, fillers such as Sculptra, Voluma, and other syringe based filler are excellent alternatives to fat transfer (augmentation). However, if you are lean but have enough fat to transfer the fat typically survives very well in the recipient areas if good techniques are utilized.The attached link provides more information.I hope this helps.

Answer: Fat Grafting For Face If you do not have any squeezeable fat it is unlikely you have any to harvest for facial injections and fillers like bellafill, sculptra, or radiesse would be useful for you if you want longer term filler options. see an expert for an evaluation. best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Fat volume requirements for facial fat grafting For full face fat transfer procedures, I usually graft between 30-50 cc of fat - I have never encountered a patient that did not have adequate fat donor sites for facial fat grafting procedures.

Answer: Fat grafts to face In general not a lot of fat is needed for grafting to the face. Most patients have some along with outer thighs. However there is a small chance that you don't have enough depending of how skinny you are. Without an exam or at least pictures its really hard to comment on your specific case.
