Question:
Are fat injections a good choice for filling nasolabial folds?
Answer:
Fat injections are not useful in our opinion for filling nasolabial folds. The area surrounding the mouth has such large amounts of mobility that it is difficult for the fat cells to survive. If we are doing a fat transfer to the remainder of the face we will include the perioral area with cautioned advised that the fat will probably not survive.
