I'm confused as to whether or not HA fillers are able to actually re-position the fat pads in your face (if injected with them) or if they're only able to re-inflate them, since I know that, as you age, the fat pads but deflate AND move positions on the face. Please clarify.

Answer: Repositioning facial fat pads with filler injections Depending on your anatomy and the way the fillers are placed, they can both augment your natural volume as well as "lift" the fat pads which often sag a bit as we age. Re inflation of the fat compartments can accomplish both, if performed correctly and if that is what you need. Sculptra, a collagen stimulator, is especially good at this as it is usually injected (off label) into the various fat compartments to elevate and volumes them creating a natural appearing lift and rejuvenating the contours of the face. That's why it's important to seek out a board certified injection specialist who understands the anatomy of the face and how to make the results look entirely natural, with the least amount of product.I hope that helps and best of luck!

Answer: Fillers and fat pads The filler product enhances what you already have and can help elevate the fat pads a bit as they are injected into the given area.
