I can see that most doctors recommend fat transfer over fillers for mid face. I know if I don’t like the result of the fillers it can be removed but I’m not sure what if I don’t like the result of the fat transfer, can it be corrected?
Answer: Fat grafting versus filler My suggestion is that you have filler placed by someone who also does fat grafting and even mid face lifting. Now you have a situation where everything does not "look like a nail" and you will get the best option available and not the only option available. If you have never had any mid face filler you should try this first. If you like the appearance of the filler, perhaps over the course of a year or two, then you will likely appreciate the appearance of fat even more. Your surgeon can be conservative but some transient over filling can be expected. Fat grafting techniques are more precise with better predictable outcomes than it used to be. I stay conservative in fat grafting as you can always add more.

Answer: Removing fat grafting Removing grafted fat from the face would be more difficult. There's no non-invasive way to remove the fat. However, your surgeon may put more fat than needed at first, knowing that not all the grafted fat will survive. So be patient and allow for some time to past. You may like the long-term result, but not the immediate result.

Answer: Fat transfer versus fillers I think patients are wise to stay with fillers for any facial work. fillers are precise predictable and forgiving. Grafting fat is the opposite. It’s unpredictable and unforgiving.

Answer: Fat Grafting vs Filler for the Mid-face Both fillers and fat grafting work wonderfully for the mid-face. I used to do fat grafting regularly but now do more filler with the advent of Juvederm Voluma, which I have had last over 5 years in this area. If you choose the right injector, you should not have to worry about reversing whatever is done. An expert injector will discuss at length what you desire and generally achieve that or, if anything, fall short requiring further filling. An expert can also obtain the same results with either. Therefore, concentrate on locating an expert instead of deciding what to do beforehand.

Answer: Fillers vs fat It is not true that "most" doctors prefer fat over fillers for the very reasons you mention plus the fact that fat might not take, might take irregularly, and if too much takes, it cannot be removed.
