Answer: Fat transfer results with cannulas--water-assisted harvesting, prp, sculptra The cannulas used are extremely small and there is little risk for permanent marks. Keep in mind, harvesting is important for successful fat transfer for the face. I recommend water-assisted fat harvesting which gives pure fat to transfer and combine with platelet rich plasma (PRP) to get the most viable and sustainable fat cells. I combine with Sculptra (depending on area) to improve final results. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
