6 months ago, I had: 1) Fat graft all over face to fill hollowness around eyes and cheeks and 2) Thread lift for slightly sagging jowls w/ 8 threads each side. I think 30-40% of the fat has been absorbed. Soon after fat graft, pockets of fat appeared on each side of mouth which reduced with time. Now, left chin is indented slightly--that's the side I sleep on sometimes--and there are lines & lumps near both sides of my mouth. Plus, skin near mouth looks slightly lumpy. What is the best fix?

Hi Kamilla,You can consider fat transfer or grafting to build up your chin. This involves taking the fat from harvesting
sites in your body (e.g., abdomen, thighs and hips), processing it and
eventually injecting it into the desired body part, in your case, the
chin. Fat processing is simply...
Lasers, fillers, and ultrasound/RF can be used in combination to improve this area. I suggest you see an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer.
Dear kproppThank you for your question! We have been doing micro fat grafting in Toronto/NY for 18 years- it is an integral part of the facial rejuvenation procedures such as face lifting surgery, eyelid surgery and primary facial contouring.With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD
