Fat Grafting

This section of the forum is dedicated to discussions on various surgical techniques for facial rejuvenation, including fat transfer/fat grafting, browlift, blepharoplasty (cosmetic eyelid surgery), facelift, etc. Also, this category includes questions on hand rejuvenation via fat grafting. (Of note, Dr. Lam does not perform body rejuvenation except for hand fat grafting)

Is it possible for artefill to migrate as I get older? I've heard the beads are held in place by your own collagen, but what happens when you get older and lose more and more collagen?

that collagen is there permanently. you won't lose it. even if collagen thins a bit over time, it won't allow anything to migrate. i promise you that.
