Dr. Sam Lam Plastic Surgery Forum

Hello,
my doctor proposed me a fat injection to cure my acne scars. Can you tell me if it works in your opinion?
thank you.

generally speaking it tends to fail. i think it can also be dangerous because fat is a metabolically active product that should be evenly placed across the face. if there is a lot tissue loss to the face, i would use it to help acne scars if it were done in combination with facial rejuvenation. however, as a standalone treatment it is not a good option in my opinion.
best,
sml
