Who is the most talented facial fat transfer and facial liposuction surgeon in the United States?

I am. Just kidding. No one knows. But there are many fine plastic surgeons who do this procedure and get great results.  Fat grafting is becoming one of the most helpful tools for facial rejuvenation and it is becoming more and more widely practiced.  There have been teaching courses for the last fifteen years, and advances in techniques for harvesting, purifying and re-injecting the fat. Two well-known names are Sydney Coleman of New York and William Little in Washington, D.C.  But as with any procedure in plastic surgery, you just have to do your homework, meet the surgeons, get references and see if you are comfortable.

Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another. See the below link on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for a facial fat transfer. 

I suggest you see an expert and do sculptra/PRP to get long term improvement and maintenance of the fat. PRP and purgraft give the best outcome and viability. Best, Dr. Emer

There's a medical school joke that if you ask any surgeon to list the three greatest surgeons of all time he'll/she'll have trouble thinking of two other names. The thing for you to do is chose the surgeon that is best for you. Review their before and after results on their websites. Discuss their goals for your procedure. Sometimes computer imaging is helpful in this. Finally he/she should listen and connect with you as should you to the surgeon.

RS does not like us to mention the names of other doctors.  You may have better luck on the pt blog side.I'm happy to forward a few names if you contact me directly.  Be ready to pay $$$$ for the big names.  There are also very talented less self promoting surgeons. Best,Mats Hagstrom, MD
