Will I need fat injections with my facelift?


Many of our Houston facelift patients will ask if they will need volume correction with fat injections in addition to a facelift or neck lift.  This will depend on each patient's anatomy and the way their face has aged over time.  Some patients will still have the appropriate volume but have only experienced descent of the tissues and need resuspension with a facelift.  Others may have lost significant fat and collagen leading to the need for volume correction.  This can be done with fat injection or with fillers.  A deep plane facelift will resuspend descended midface fat to a higher and more lateral position in addition to correcting jowling and a loose neck.  An experienced facelift surgeon will assist each patient with the appropriate treatment plan to create the most pleasing aesthetic result.
