Versa vs. Fat Transfer for temples - which one lasts longer?

Hello, and thanks for your question.

Fat transfers tend to last longer than fillers. The only challenge is that sometimes the fat doesn't last equally on both sides, so can be less predictable than filler. I like to use Bellafill as it is a collagen building filler--you get the instant result of a filler, but it lasts for 8 to 10 years because it stimulates your own collagen production.

Thanks, hope this is helpful.

Revanesse Versa is a hyaluronic acid gel filler. The body breaks this down over time and the results are therefore not permanent.

Fat Transfer is a procedure where fat is taken from one part of the body and injected into another part of the body. The fat is a "graft," therefore this procedure is also referred to as "Fat Grafting." Although not all of the fat survives, the amount that does is permanent.

Both have their own risks, benefits, advantages, and disadvantages. Make sure you speak with your surgeon about all your options.

Fat transfer is one of the dumbest things plastic surgery has come up with. Getting fat injection will just be a waste of money as the fat will dissolve over time. Many surgeons are big on fat transfer and actually think it's worthwhile. I can't justify an operation that I don't believe in just to make money. Haven't heard of versa. If it was anything worthwhile I would know about it. If you need a facelift just get a standard face lift and forget the a la carte items
