Asked By:guntherddr in Paris, Île-de-France, France

Hello, I’m 22 and have general volume loss in the face. Considering facial fat graft as it is permanent but I know it is high risk. But I’m wondering about the risks down the road. Say I get a fft and it goes great : 1 - Is it true fat can migrate down and cause sagging? 2- would I have to monitor weight really closely all the time? WHat about weight gain during menopause ? Would I still have the fat that far down the line? 3 - is it possible to get fat from calves? Or arms?
