What reasons would fat be added just to the upper face? Can this still look natural?

May 21, 2023
Asked By:MumAY1 in Sanger, California

I had a deep plane face and neck lift with some fat grafting in the cheek area. I lost quite a bit of weight, which caused me to have very loose sagging skin, with a somewhat gaunt look, and hollow under eyes. When i was younger i had a very balanced and nice shape of face. Im worried that adding even a small amount of fat just to my cheek will change the contours and shape of my face, what reasons would fat be added just to the upper face? Can this still look natural? Thanks
