Is facial fat transfer to laugh lines a good choice & what's the additional cost if I'm already having lipo? (Photo)

Question

Cost of fat transfer to laugh lines? Assuming I'm already having lipo, how much additional cost would typically be added to transfer some of the fat to my laugh lines? Also, is this a good choice for fixing this area? Any reasons this shouldn't be done? Thank You!

Thank you for your question and photo. A facial fat transfer is a good option for restoring volume into nasolabial folds, also known as laugh lines. It is possible to combine this procedure with facial liposuction as well. Though costs will vary, having both procedures simultaneously can potentially cost less since you are only working with your surgeon one time instead of twice. 
I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to answer any questions you have about the best procedures for you and their associated costs.

Facial fat transfer can be used to address wrinkles such as laugh lines, Crow's feet, and smile lines by filling them in. In good hands, it can be really effective. Costs can vary from surgeon to surgeon.

However, sometimes, the only way to treat them fully can be through a facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, which is a comprehensive solution.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !
