Facial fat grafting procedure

Filed under: Facial Fat Grafting — Dr. Edward D. Buckingham, M.D. @ 10:11 am

Question:
I’m 54, female, with very sunken cheeks and wrinkled lips. I’ve been interested in a facial fat grafting procedure for some time, but I don’t really know too much about it. Could I get both my lips and cheeks done on the same day, or do I have to get them done separately?

Answer:
You can have your lips and cheeks and the rest of your facial volume loss addressed in one day and I would encourage that approach. Fat transfer causes a fair bit of swelling and so you don’t want to spend any more time recovering than you have to. Please look at the fat transfer section of our website for more details.
