Is it safe to use facial fat graft in an area prone to cystic acne?

November 22, 2022
Asked By:swdc in Washington, District of Columbia

I periodically get cystic acne near my marionette lines, near the corners of my mouth. My surgeon is suggesting filling the marionette lines with microfat. Would it be safe to get a fat graft in that location? What would happen if acne occurs? In general, is microfat recommended for marionette and nasolabial lines?
