I'm debating whether I should get a fat transfer/Injections or if I should use a good filler like Juvaderm to restore fullness to my face (cheeks, lips, under eyes etc.) Which typically lasts longer?
Answer: Fillers vs. Fat transfers- which lasts longer? Fat transfers have the potential of lasting much longer than fillers if they survive the transfer process. The fat survival unpredictability can be a disadvantage, especially if it is not done properly and in inexperienced hands. Surgeons who have had a lot of experience with it and utilize good technique can usually achieve long- lasting and predictable results, as well as avoid lumpiness that can occur sometimes. All the current FDA approved fillers eventually go away, and can last 6 months to 2 years, depending on which you choose. They are quicker, easier, less risky and involve faster recovery than fat transfers. For my own patients, for first timers, I usually recommend they try fillers first to see if they like the volume enhancement. If they do and they don't want to come back in to have it repeated as often, I recommend that they consider fat transfers. I would recommend that you only seek consultation from a board certified plastic surgeon who has a lot of experience doing fat transfers. Best wishes.

Answer: Filler or Fat Transfer For Long Lasting Results ch910 A thorough consultation and examination is necessary to come up with an appropriate course of treatment. First off, Juvederm , Restylane, Perlane, Radiesse which are all terrific fillers will not last more than 18 months. My favorite filler long term safe, economical filler is Bellafill. This filler has longevity and can create beautiful contours. Why rent your filler when you can own it? Fat is a terrific filler but is extremely technique dependent. I utilize the body jet system to harvest fat and mix it with PRP ( platelet rich plasma). With this technique I get beautiful long lasting results.

Answer: Fillers vs fat grafting There are permanent fillers available. I avoid them at all costs. filling soft area with something hard doesn't make sense and will often lead to disaster. In my office we use quite a lot of JUvederm and Voluma, and fat grafting is one of the procedures I perform most frequently. So, the answer depend on your goals. Fat grafting is designed to be permeant. Other soft tissue fillers are temporary. An in -person, or photo consulttion might be helpful in determining what would be ideal for you.

Answer: Fillers vs Fat Transfer Fillers such as Juvederm only last approximately 6 months.Fat transfers can last permanently if they are done correctly and the fat develops a blood supply. Sometimes it takes two sessions with fat transfers to get the right amount of fat in the area, but whether it takes one or two sessions, you can get permanent results which for many is superior to the transient nature of fillers.I suggest a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can help you make the right decision.Good luck in your search and let us know if you have any further questions.
