Thank you for your question and sharing your photos. A physical consultation is the only way to determine if you would be a good candidate for fat transfer to the face. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck!Dhaval M. Patel Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Hoffman Estates Barrington Oakbrook Chicago

Fat grafting is safe and long lasting. Technique is important to maintain fat transfer results. I use gentle water-assisted harvesting to get the most viable fat to transfer. I combine with prp and Sculptra to help maintain results. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to go over your desired results. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for posting your question. An in-person evaluation with an experienced physician is necessary to determine whether you are a good candidate for fat transfer procedure. On average, half of the transferred fat is eventually reabsorbed, so you need to have enough excess fat to achieve a significant change. Having implants may also be a good option. I recommend meeting with some physicians in-person to find out about your options. Best of luck.

Fat grafting to the face is safe as long as you have it done by a well qualified surgeon.  Good luck.
