Weight loss after blepharoplasty?

This is
a very good question. Most patients considering some type of fat transfer
procedure wonder what will happen if they lose or gain weight after the
procedure. The fat used in a fat grafting procedure typically comes from either
the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks. The fat cells maintain the same genetic
coding and will enlarge or shrink just as they did when you gained or lost
weight previously. Fat grafted to the cheeks will lose volume as you continue
to lose weight, but you will still benefit from some added volume. It's up to
you whether you'd prefer to wait to get the procedure after you meet your
weight loss goals. Good luck with your decision.

Congratulations on your weight loss so far. If you lose more weight, yes, the fat in your cheeks will likely reduce as well. If you are concerned about it, it may be better for you to wait until you have lost the weight before having your surgery. I hope this helps.

 In our practice, we do not recommend fat transferred to the cheeks or face. It is also important to lose the additional 25 more pounds to meet your proper BMI. The primary goal lower eyelid blepharoplasty is to remove the fatty compartment creating the puffiness look. For many examples, please see the link and the video below

Fat transfer or grafting, involves transfer of fat cells from one part of body to another. These fat cells will only enlarge or shrink with weight gain or weight loss respectively. So, if you lose weight, tranferred fat cells, like other fat cells in the body, lose fat content and proportionally, you will look the same but thinner. Hope this was helpful. Best

You won't lose the fat cells that are grafted into your cheeks since they live on, whether they are plump or lean. They will decrease in size if you lose weight, however. The good news is that they will regrow when you gain weight.

Thank you for your question. This is a relatively complex issue. Congratulations on your weight loss so far! That's amazing. Certainly keep it up. The good news is that the fat removed or repositioned with your lower blepharoplasties will not change with weight gain or loss. The other good news is that the fat that is transferred into your cheeks will provide better volume than you currently have. So even though the transferred fat into your cheeks will diminish with weight loss, it will not completely disappear. I hope that helps.

The fat transferred to your face will respond as does the fat from where it was harvested -- if your belly and thighs slim down, so will your face. That is what that fat is programmed to do, despite the fact that it's now in your face. Conversely if you gain weight, the transferred fat will "gain weight" as well. Either situation may leave you with less than satisfactory results. I counsel patients to achieve a healthy, stable weight prior to facial fat transfer.Best wishes!  Harry V.

The fat cells that survive after facial fat transfer will respond to changes that affect fat any where in the body.  It will increase with weight gain and decrease with weight loss.  Good luck.  Donald R. Nunn MD  Atlanta Plastic Surgeon

The fat cells moved to your cheeks will always continue to behave like the area they were taken from, ie tummy, hips, etc. So if you lose weight in those areas you will also lose volume in you fat grafted area also.
