Removing cheekbone fat transfer through excision? (Photo)

Question

I had microlipo suction and it didn’t make a dent on cheekbone fat transfer ( I lost fat directly under the cheekbones which made matters worse). I think the fat is under the muscle. I would need to excuse it through facelift cuts / temporal excision. Can it be done without a full facelift?

Mats Hagstrom, MD (license on probation) · Answer

I recommend patients avoid facial fat, grafting as they would fillers for exactly this reason. This is the risk patients take when they choose to have facial fat transfer. It is very difficult to remove grafted fat because it is not in the regular fat layer.
We specifically graft in multiple plans to allow the fat to survive. Even with open surgery it may be very difficult to remove previously Grafted fat, because it is supposed to be grafted into tiny particles throughout the tissues.
Your situation is complex and far beyond what we can properly address, assess, or give you recommendations for based on a realself post.
If you haven’t done, so, consider getting a few second opinion consultations.
Best,
