Could I have a facelift with fat grafting to cover the capsule from the cheek and jaw implants? Or will the scar tissue cause the fat to look lumpy? Could the scar tissue completely soften or resorb?

Answer: Fillers May Be all You Need It appears from your photos that fillers like fat or Juvederm may be all you need. You may need to wait a bit to allow scar tissue to subside, but physical exam needed to evaluate properly. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

Answer: Facial evaluation Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. I have performed a mini facelift and fat grafting for similar patients in the past. This may be a good option for you. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
