What is your opinion on fat grafting during a facelift?

F

Can this lead to bumps and lumps, or is less likely during an actual facelift, as opposed to at the derm's office, because you can actually see what you are doing?

Your four head size can be made larger but it would take tissue expansion which is a balloon placed under the forehead skin and slowly increased in size in order to create more bald forehead skin. This is something that we do for reconstruction and is probably something that you would not be...
