What is the success rate of fat transfer to the face? What are my other options?

June 16, 2017
Asked By:faeluna in San Clemente, CA

I am 27 and up until last year, I was always mistaken for a teenager. I had a very plump, youthful face. I recently went from 145 lbs to 110 lbs. I love my new body but my face is so skinny and old looking now. I went from looking 17 to looking 30 in just a few months. I want to have fat transferred to my face but I heard many horror stories and am worried about getting the procedure done and the fat not surviving. I don't want to waste money unless I'm 100% sure the results will be permanent.
