Fat transfers have increased in popularity and for good reason, but you need to understand that MOST surgeons who offer facial fat grafts mainly do female faces, as a male, there should be specific points to target, and specific points to avoid.
AVOID:
- Fat transfers to the submalar / cheek area should be avoided, it goes without saying that this will kill your dimorphism if you had any to begin with, make you look bloated and fat like the poor guy below
- Avoid fat transfers to the jaw, fat doesn't behave the same way filler does, and will not enhance your jawline, again, it will have the opposite effect and remove definition from arguably the most important place to have it
- Avoid the chin, most chin fat transfers (from what I've seen) have resulted in a round "ball" like chin, genio or death for the chin I'm afraid
DO:
Upper peri-orbital fat transfer
- Arguably the best use of fat grafts for correcting upper eye hollowing (superior sulcus fat loss), death tier falio btw, while also providing ideal hooding, great health indicator too, upper eye fat pads are present in young healthy people
*Cant make this thread without acknowledging the goat @SteveRogers
Under eye fat transfer
- Can reduce under eye hollows and dark circles, provide an overall healthier looking face, while improving perceived depth of the eyes by fixing orbital vector, see below
"Recessed infras" are hardly a thing, truly recessed infras come from recessed maxilla's which most of you don't have, as shown in the image, orbital vector is mainly the product of fuller, healthier fat pads under the eyes, here's an example of orbital vector being changed with fat transfers
*Note: Under eye transfer can supposedly raise the lower lid 1-2mm however this is hardly definitive and I would not count on this happening
Brow ridge
- Though seemingly rare (I haven't seen many results online), the results I have seen have been good, Eppley wrote about this, adding slight volume to the brow to make it more defined can be a subtle yet nice looksmax
Outer brow (hardly spoken about but important to consider)
- High volume of fat in the outer brow is a trait I've in many attractive people and seems to be (in addition to good bones) one of the reasons they have such striking eyes and positively tilted brows, the best way to explain is with a picture, and the best example I can think of is Kit Butler
See how despite overall leanness, his upper eye and outer brow fat pads remain full and healthy? See how the increased volume at the most lateral part of the brow causes that distinctive tilt? I believe this could be a big looksmax if your face suits it
Lips
- Pretty low survival rate for fat cells as far as I'm aware, but still worth considering, even if you can get 10-20% more volume it a w in my book
Temples
- Another good place to get grafts if you have temporal hollowing, again a small touch that can at the very least fix a slight falio
A quick note on buccal fat removal / reduction
While on the topic of facial fat I just wanted to add a quick note on buccal fat. It is understood that bones are the primary focus of facial attractiveness, but unless you have death tier craniofacial development, and are between 10-12% bodyfat, yet still have that typical "oval" face shape, where the horizontal width of your face peaks at your cheeks (not at the bi-zygoma), then buccal fat removal is a very good surgery, and anything but a meme surgery as these single digit iq mouth breathers will have you believe.
"B-b-buttttt what about when I'm older and my fat pads start to" bla bla bla. This in my experience is fucking nonsense, most humans are born with too much buccal fat, and that buccal fat REMAINS as you age. All my great uncles, my grandfather, have all experienced fat loss in the upper and under eyes, the arms, legs and stomach but their cheeks remain full as ever. Just don't go overboard with it like that one actress with the fucked ipd.
**If you made it this far then you're probably serious about considering fat grafting, in which case please read up on the safety measures and risks associated with injecting fat into the face, mainly around cannula sizes, injection points, etc. Good luck and I wish you the best results <333
