fat grafting in buccal hollows?

fat grafting in buccal hollows?

Postby miaou5 » Tue Aug 18, 2009 10:12 pm

Dear dr. Lam,

Hope things are going well! I'm thinking about getting some fat grafting in my buccal hollows, but a friend who has gotten fat before tells me not to use fat in this area. She says fat transfer to this area often turns out wavy and lumpy. Is this true? Is this facial region more "prone" than other regions (i.e., upper cheeks and lids) to end up looking irregular? Thanks!

the buccal area is actually the easiest area to fill. i have never seen something like that and i have filled hundreds of cases. like everything in life, it is all technique dependent.
