Fat Transferin the neck can work if done right. The key would be to have a result where the fat survives after being transferred into the neck. Once the fat survives past a year, it should stay in the area that it was implanted for many years. Some surgeons have been able to maintain augmentation from fat from 10-15 years. Lumpiness can be a problem but if the surgeon respects how to place the fat this becomes less of an issue. When I graft fat into the face and neck, whenever I’m superficial I always use finer cannulas to transfer the fat. I also lay the fat down as evenly as possible so that each fat transfer aliquot is placed as close as possible to the ones placed next to it. When the fat is injected into the deeper layers, you have more flexibility and less margin for error when you use larger cannulas that deliver larger fat parcels. Fat injections in the neck may not be perfect but one can strive to perfect this. There may not be a better way to volumize the neck. Ultimately, I think surgeons and scientists are going to figure out how to make fat survive better and this will be the main way that surgeons will volumize the face.
I refined an amazing volumizing procedure called “the YoungLift”. This is an innovative technique that volumizes your face to bring out the younger and natural you without looking like you had something done. This is not a facelift and requires no incisions. Only pinpoint puncture sites are used and these heal imperceptibly. The YoungLift can be done without general anesthesia and without drains, and large bandages. You also have a lot less downtime and discomfort compared with traditional facelift procedures. I employ the very best techniques from around the world into one volumizing procedure and he uses his internationally acclaimed understanding of facial beauty to create the youthful volume you once had. The YoungLift techniques can help with filling up the lips as well. You can great results with fat injections in the lips.
