I want to permanently fix my nasolabial folds without using fillers. Would fat grafting be the best solution? Im being told that it would be best to get the fat transfer to my cheeks. Or would it be best to get a face lift along with the fat transfer?
Answer: Yes and no Yes, fat grafting is a great and long-lasting way to reduce nasolabial folds, and based on your photograph you look like you would be a good candidate for this. Whether you would be benefit from a facelift in addition to fat grafting depends on what your other facial concerns are in addition to the nasolabial folds.

Answer: Nasolabial Folds Thank you for your inquiry! Fat grafting is a good alternative to fillers. But if you lose weight or gain weight, that same effect can be seen anywhere you put fat. A lower face lift can get the result you are looking for, but nothing is permanent. As you age gravity and skin laxity will take it toll. Schedule a consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to help you reach your goals.

Answer: Fat Grafting Hello and thank you for your question! By doing fat grafting to the cheeks you could get a subtle lift in the mid and lower face, thus smoothing out the nasolabial folds to an extent. This is absolutely a good option to take, alternatively you could have the fat graft placed directly in the area of the nasolabial folds to smooth them out without effecting the rest of the facial structure. Based on the picture you provided, a face lift would be premature if the only issue you are having is with the nasolabial folds. As always, it would be best to seek out an in-office consult with a plastic surgeon to best evaluate what procedures and techniques would best work for you and your desired aesthetic goals. Hope this helps!

Answer: Facial fat grafting would offer a natural, long term solution Facial fat grafting, also known as facial fat transfer, is a cosmetic procedure where fat is harvested from one part of the body and then injected into specific areas of the face to enhance volume and contour. It is an excellent option to address the nasolabial folds as well as provide full facial rejuvenation.

Answer: Correction of nasolabial folds At the time being it does not look like we have solved a problem of NLF. Dynamic nature of this condition, constant movement of perioral muscles and lips, resorption of bones underneath, loss of fat volume, are some of the reasons for NLF occurance. In our experience, fat grafting is not any better or longer lasting than fillers which are our gold standard. Hope this helps.
