Is it possible to do the fat transfer in the paranasal area to help with midface concavity?

Hi you didn’t mention how old you are and if you need fat anywhere else in the face.. paranasal area is a great place for fat transfer but usually requires at least two sessions for permanent volume restoration. If this area is your only concern, Radiesse filler can be initially placed to give you an idea and may be substantially more economical than fat injection, and can last up to a year..... my other favorite option to this area is your own cartilage implants harvested from the ears...  Good Luck 

Yes, with midface retrusion, rather than doing a Lefort osteotomy, fat transfer can be performed to improve midface projection.

Yes, it is quite possible to address midface deformities with fat grafting, depending on the nature and extent of the deformity. Fat grafting is routinely used in conjunction with face lift procedures to address volume loss in the central cheeks. More severe deformities might require surgical movement of the facial bones, or use of implants. Consult an experienced surgeon to discuss your options.

Structural fat grafting with PRP, sometimes referred to as microfat grafting with PRP can provide fullness to nasolabial folds, cheeks, hollowed upper or lower eyelids and can fill lines and wrinkles on the face. Unlike the liquid facelift, the results from structural fat grafting can be permanent.

Thank you for your question!  When we talk about fat transfer to the face, this is usually one of the many areas we augment with your own fat!  We try to provide a delicate balance of fat transfer to multiple areas to "re-volumize" the loss as we age.  It has been studied extensively where volume has changed with aging.  The goal is to bring harmony to replace the deep fat pockets that have "deflated" over time and often it's combined with a facelift to re-suspend the descending tissues.  If a facelift is not needed, we instead can use fat taken from either the stomach, flank, or outer thigh regions to provide the necessary volume to create a more youthful facial appearance.  I recommend you seek a board certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon experienced with fat transfer to assist you in your goals.  Three dimensional imaging may also allow you to experience first hand, some of the changes you may be undergoing.   I hope this helps!!

Fat grafting in the paranasal area is commonly done, especially in conjunction with midface rejuvenation.  Implants are the other more permanent and structurally stronger choice.  A board-certified plastic surgeon with experience with both should be able to help you decide.Dr. Z

Fat grafting around the nose and mid face is very common and effective. Seek out a surgeon who routinely use fat grafts in the face and they can tell you if it may serve you well. 

Paranasal augmentation can certainly be attempted first using your own fat. Whether it will survive sufficiently or not can not be precisely predicted before surgery. If not ou can then consider paranasal midface implant augmentation whose outcome is assured.

Thank you for your question. Fat grafting is an excellent way to add volume to the face and fill any defects or hollowness that may be present. The fat is taken from your own body and put through a delicate process to separate and retrieve only the best fat with the highest concentration of stem cells. I recommend you get a consult with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who has experience with fat grafting. They can assess your specific anatomy and help you decide the best procedure for you. In our office, we offer 3D imaging to give our patients an accurate idea of what their final result will look like. Good luck! 

This area is actually where we do fat grafting for the aging face.It is quite successful in this location. I would seek the opinion of a board certified plastic or facial plastic surgeon to see if this is an appropriate procedure.
