Answer: Fat transfer results--water-assisted harvesting, prp, sculptra Yes, fat transfer can be used to improve this area and is a safe procedure. Fat transfer technique is important for successful fat transfer. 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 to improve final results. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Fat transfer in cheeks Fat transfer is a great option to consider to rejuvenate cheeks, including those with thin skin. Fat transfer can be performed in isolation, or combined with other procedures such as a facelift Plastic surgeons may transfer fat in different levels or planes. Generally, the deeper the injection, then the less likely for lumps. Fat is not injected into the dermis. Every procedure has inherent risks, including but not limited to an undesired appearance. If you haven't already, then speak with a plastic surgeon to help determine if fat transfer is an appropriate option. Best, Dr .Chaboki
