Question:
I'm a 50 year old woman, and I've been looking into different facial fillers. I recently read about fat transfer procedures, which sound intriguing. I have a little extra baggage I'd like to lose in the love handles anyway. Since the fat would be from my own body, would the results of a fat transfer last longer than from an artificial filler? Answer:
Fat transfer procedures can offer a long lasting and natural enhancement to the face. In my experience, fat injection lasts longer than an artificial filler, especially in the mid and upper thirds of the face. Also, I tell my patients that harvesting the fat does not contour or significantly reduce the donor site area because of the small volume that is required to remove. Posted by William E.
