Asked By:extrordinair in hartsdale, ny 10530

I am a 74 year old woman concerned about the lines around my mouth,the nasal fold,the lines at the side of my upper cheek area. My doctor wants to use my body fat to fill in all these areas and give my face a fuller look. Do you recommend this? I have had two face lifts, the last about 12 years ago. What are the negatives to the use of fat? Many thanks. Also - Is the use of fat more costly than other fillers? Can you tell me about what this might possibly cost?
