If you get fat grafting to your face and you gain weight will your face blow up?

Question

I'm looking into getting it done but I'm only 32 and I haven't had children yet, so if I were to become pregnant what would happen? I really need this procedure done as I've lost too much volume for the up keep of fillers and I don't like the idea of long lasting fillers due to complications and can't be removed. Thank you

If you add fat to your face then it will respond like fat anywhere else in your body and your face will get proportionately larger with weight gain.

If you worry about removing long-term fillers then you should also be equally concerned about the difficulty in removing previously grafted facial fat.

Fillers are more predictable and easier to work with making them more consistent and overall giving better results than fat and for that reason long lasting fillers are still a better option in my opinion.

There’s a pretty steep learning curve for mastering facial fat transfer so if you opt for that route find the most experienced providers in your area. During in person consultations you can learn everything you need to know about the procedure.

Best,
