Fat grafting to face migrates to other areas?

April 4, 2016
Asked By:beabea91 in New York, NY

20s, I want volume to forehead and cheeks since it's so flat but i hear about patients where the fat migrates from forehead and down to the eyes causing puffy eyes and fat on cheeks which moved to jawline causing sagging. Why is it happening? Why does it "take" irregularly and lead to asymmetry? This is worrisome and makes me want to try fillers instead
