Fillers or Fat Grafting? Choosing the Right Injectable for Facial Volume Loss
If you are exploring facial rejuvenation treatments, you have likely come across two popular options: fillers and fat grafting. Both methods can restore volume, enhance facial contours, and help you look more refreshed.
But how do they compare, and which one is best for your goals?
At Revive Palmetto Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery, Dr. Little offers both options and takes the time to explain what makes each approach unique. Watch his quick video below to hear directly from him, or keep reading for a full breakdown. In the video, Dr. Little explains how Revive Palmetto offers a comprehensive range of injectable treatments, including hyaluronic acid fillers and fat grafting procedures that utilize your own body fat to restore youthful volume.
Option 1: Dermal Fillers
Dr. Little and the Revive Palmetto team offer the full product lines of Juvederm and Restylane, both of which are hyaluronic acid fillers. These are great for:
Smoothing fine lines and wrinkles
Enhancing lips and cheeks
Restoring lost volume in areas like the under-eyes or jawline
Providing quick, noticeable results with little downtime
In addition to hyaluronic acid options, Sculptra is also available. Sculptra is a biostimulatory filler that works by stimulating your body’s own collagen production. It offers longer-lasting results and can improve the quality of the surrounding skin over time.
Option 2: Fat Grafting
Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer, is a more advanced approach to facial rejuvenation. Dr. Little explains that this technique involves removing fat from one area of your body and injecting it into another area that needs volume.
Some key benefits of fat grafting include:
Long-lasting results – Unlike fillers that dissolve over time, fat transfer results can be permanent
Unlimited volume – Since your own fat is used, you are not limited to one syringe at a time
Regenerative benefits – Fat contains a high concentration of stem cells that can improve skin texture and quality
Natural look and feel – Since it is your own tissue, fat integrates seamlessly
Fat grafting is a great option for patients who want long-term facial volume restoration and skin improvement without frequent touch-ups.
How to Choose Between Fillers and Fat Grafting
The right treatment for you depends on your goals, lifestyle, and how long you want results to last.
