Could submental fat be used as fat injections to the face? (Photos)

August 23, 2021
Asked By:noleeta in Los Angeles, California

Hope things are going well! I've previously had fat injections to the face, but I noticed that the fat was firmer than the softer facial fat that was originally there. I've recently decided that I might need to do something about my submental pooch, but since the consistency of the fact there is very similar to that on my face, I would like for it to be injected if at all possible. I mainly just want to inject around the nose and nasal labial folds. Attaching worst possible pic I could find.
