Hello Drs, I'm seriously considering fat transfer to my cheeks to replace volume loss in mid face and buccal area space (fat pad) as well as temples. I'm at my ideal weight, non-smoker, extremely healthy, exercise 5x a week. I met a doctor and I have enough fat to do the transfer, however: 1) Will my fast metabolism and athletic slim frame mean my "fat take" will be less than average? and 2) Should I plan to have more transferred to compensate for this? Thank you.
