I'm 2 months post facelift and fat transfer to eye troughs. I still have some hollowing under my eyes and troughs. My doc says I'd have to go completely under anesthesia for another fat transfer. Is this standard or is there an alternative? I'd prefer fat vs resty but I WONT go under again for a procedure so small. Is it safe to inject resty with the fat already there? Also I have read that resty after a facelift is risky. Something about the filler migrating into the scar tissue? Is this true?

Answer: Fat Transfer to Lower Eyelids under local anesthesia. If you are an ideal candidate than it should not be a problem doing this as an office procedure under local anesthesia with or without oral sedation. Ideal candidates are in good health, and have excess fat in some parts of the body and too little in other regions. Fat grafting is most often used for the face, breasts and buttocks. Typically, the transferred fat results in a significant increase in volume of the body site being treated and is tolerated well. Dr. Nichter

Answer: Local anesthesia works well for facial fat transfer We routinely do facial fat transfer under local anesthesia. If that is the only procedure being done then there should be no problem.

Answer: Must I have general anesthesia for fat transfer or is there an alternative? Micro-fat grafts can be performed under local, intravenous or general anesthesia. Small amounts usually do not require a general anesthetic or deep sedation. Restylane can be injected after porior fat injections and after a facelift.I would suggest you discuss your concerns with your plastic

Answer: Micro Fat Transfer Under Local Micro fat transfer can absolutely be done without general anesthesia. Sometimes it makes sense to have it done at the same time as another procedure when you are already under general anesthesia. This is usually when it is being performed as an adjunct, but otherwise, I find it preferable to perform the procedure under mild oral sedation with local anesthesia. Obviously this is not for everyone, but for the average patient, this is very well tolerated.
