Fat can be injected in the nose. Because the nose is at the center of your face the margin of error is very small. You should definitely consider going to someone who has a lot of experience doing this type of procedure.

Fat Transfer have an immense variability in terms of the results that you can get from it. There are many steps that go into fat injections that can insure that you have reliable fat survival. This reliability is essential to knowing whether the fat will survive in the areas that you implant it. If some survive and some fat cells don’t, the possibility of having variable results is possible. But there are always remedies. It is better to be on the conservative side so that you don’t inject too much. It is always easier to put more fat in than to take too much fat out.

One thing that is important to realize is that injections around the nose can be more dangerous than other areas. There are larger veins in this area, and also, the veins here don’t have valves and can serve to allow fat to travel backwards into deeper structures. This can lead to significant complications. You have to be aware of the literature to know how to prevent these things from happening but there is always the chance of things happening with anything that you do.

These could be iron deposits after bruising where the iron is left behind. Sometimes, mild heat and massage can help this as well as exercise or increasing the lymphatic drainage in this area.

Sometimes, it can be due to prominent vessels that are residual after the procedure and the stimulation caused by the procedure post operatively. Or it could be that your Fat Transfer just elevated this area so that you can see it better.

What could be causing this is that your eye muscle is showing through your skin more given the thin skin in this area. The treatment is increasing the distance and adding layers between your eye muscles and the skin through fillers and more fat injections superficially between the skin and muscle. Also, CO2 resufacing can create an extra layer of collagen that can disguise the transparency of the skin that allows the deep color of the muscle to show through.

Fat Transfer are a great way to volumize the face. The survival of the fat is largely dependent on the technique that is employed. Once the fat finds its own blood supply it will survive as it did where it originally resided. Research has shown that we are born with the same number of fat cells in our body and the fat cells that we have get larger and smaller based on what our weight is. When the fat is placed into the face, typically it is believed that the cells are donor dominant. This means that the fat is likely to follow the behavior that it had where it came from originally.

When you lose weight, you will lose it everywhere. There are some areas that you will lose more than others depending on the activity. But, in general, you are likey to lose it everywhere in a symmetric manner. The same principle applies to the grafted fat in the face. But, because you have transplanted more fat cells to your face you will always have more fat in the area that you have transplanted more fat cells.

Based on research that has been done, the greater number of fat cells in your face will still give you more volume in those grafted areas. But, you will have less volume with weight less proportionate to the amount of weight that you lose.

This was a question that I answered for a patient who had a Fat Transfer procedure by another doctor.

You might need a touch up to place more fat in the area that is depressed. Or you can remove the fat that is above and below which may be more difficult. You should discuss this with your surgeon. He will hold your hand so to speak through this and help you get the best results.

Touch ups are usually less involved and will take less time.  Sometimes the more elevated areas above and below could be due to swelling that will come down.  Patience is required in this case and it may get better with time. Your surgeon will be the best to counsel you on this. Don’t worry, it can be improved.
