Fat transfer to restore facial volume has become very popular.  Surgeons frequently use fat transfer to restore the volume you have lost in conjunction with a skin tightening procedure like a face lift or eyelid lift or blepharoplasty.  The problem with fat is that you must have surgery, to harvest the fat, with liposuction and then when the fat is placed it is very unpredictable.  The reported rate of “take”, or amount of fat that remains long after the procedure, is between 35% and 85%.  This is problematic when precision is required to get the best result for you.  In contrast, Bellafill is very predictable and does not require surgery.  When Bellafill is injected, the result you see immediately after is the result you should get without any absorption of the Bellafill.
