I was born with a relatively "peanut face", but it is getting worse with age and my temples feel more and more sunken in. I want to stay away from fillers and Sculptra because they are too pricey for results that are not long term. If I wanted to get a fat graft, can someone give me a rough approximation of how much it will cost, and if I'm a good candidate? Other suggestions are appreciated
Answer: Fat Grafting to Temples Thanks for the questions.

Answer: Fat grafting to temples Fillers and fat can accomplish the same thing, adding volume. However fat not only provides volume, it also adds stem cells which have huge benefits for your skin and surrounding tissue. Discuss these with your plastic surgeon. With regards to cost, it may vary between practices. See a few doctors and compare. Questions to ask include what donor site is used, how the fat is prepared, and how it is injected under the skin. I wish you the best!
