Microfat droplet. How do you go about this procedure for a third revision to thicken the skin?

Question

I was told by a few doctors that this is an option that helps thick in the skin and cover a regularities as well as promote stem cell regeneration and circulation improvement. How do you go about this procedure for a revision technically third revision to thicken the skin at the tip ever so subtly? Can this technically be used to lower nostrils? Is it a quick procedure? Does it have to be taken through the belly button? s there chance of necrosis? What's the price point for this type?

Good Afternoon! The way the procedure is done is typically by adding fascia - such as temporalis - or perichondrium - from rib - and infusing microfat within it. We refer to this as MISTA - microfat infused soft tissue augmentation. Microfat isn't strong enough to produce changes needed to lower the nostril in my experience. The procedure is relatively quick when combined with a revision and the fat most often comes from around the belly button. The chance of necrosis is incredibly low with proper technique. The price point to add onto a rhinoplasty varies by surgeon and region but somewhere around $1500-2000 would be a rough estimate. Hope this helps.
