Who can benefit from fat injection or fat transfers to the face?
As you age, the dermis under your skin thins out. This can leave the face looking too thin and has the effect of making the skin look like it sags. This happens to women of all body types: small frame, medium frame, large frame. A fat injection adds fat to the area beneath the skin, and has the effect of ‘filling out the face’ to a more youthful state. Patients may be familiar with the use of fat injections for lip augmentation, but there are many other uses in the face. For example, fat injections can also be used to lessen the lines around the mouth, fill out the cheeks and chin (areas which might have otherwise used facial implants), or as an all purpose filler in the face.
