Question:
I’m in my mid 30s, from Sunset Valley, and as I’ve gotten older my cheeks have thinned quite a bit. I’ve also lost twenty pounds recently and while I’m happy with how my body looks it’s made my face look pretty sunken. Could fat injections help?
Answer:
Fat injections can absolutely assist in volume loss in the face with or without associated weight change. Various injectable fillers such as Radiesse, Sculptra, Juvederm or Restylane can also be used. The most important limitation of fat is that if your weight fluctuates greatly fat injections can fluctuate as well. Injectable fillers will not have this characteristic. A consultation is useful to discuss all of the procedures in detail.
