Will a facial fat transfer adress asymmetry and volume loss from a previous parotidectomy?

Plucky75508Nov 8, 2024
I had a left superficial parotidectomy 10 years ago without a reconstruction flap. I had loss of volume and asymmetry after and has gotten worse over the years. Will a facial fat transfer help and if I do both sides of my face will they do more on my left side for balance? Also, I’m worried about hypertrophy from the fat transfer. Is it common?

Fat transfer would be a nice procedure to fill the tear trough, anterior maxilla, and malar eminence to reduce the appearance of a deep tear trough and give you more cheek projection.

Fat grafting can be very natural and safe in the lower lid. 2-4 cc can be grafted safely to each eyelid. However, like with PRP it may require a redo at 1 year if volume does not last.

Based on your posted photo these are areas of tissue loss or overactive muscle. Therefore, a combination of micro Botox with nano rafting is recommended. Fee is $8000-$10,000. Best of virtual cons
