Question:
I am looking into getting a facelift. I need some regions of my face to get injectable fillers as my face has thinned tremendously in the last ten years. Can I get a fat transfer to use as the filler?
Answer:
I would strongly suggest the addition of fat to your face if you are planning on getting a facelift and are concerned that your face has thinned too much. I perform a great deal of fat injections for facial augmentation and feel that the results that I obtain on my facelift patients with the concurrent use of fat injections is far superior to the results that I get with facelift alone in my more thin or older patients.
