Dermal fillers alone create an overdone, artificial look. A plastic surgeon recommends autologous fat transfer instead, which lasts longer, looks more natural, and may contain stem cells that help tissue regenerate.

Your body might be the best filler that you can use. So we're moving away from filler. It's basically as a result of people only having a couple tools in their toolbox to combat facial aging. So people who looked very overdone with filler can be easily overdone, and that's what you're seeing is happening. So there's a lot of pushback with that. There is definitely a need for volume, and what I would suggest, if you're thinking about doing filler, a little bit is okay, but if you need a lot and you need some major restoration, consult with a plastic surgeon, someone who does a lot of facial rejuvenation, not just someone who's limited to Botox and fillers. Fat transfer is a really good option because it provides long-lasting results. It has sometimes adipose-derived stem cells that can help rejuvenate the area, and it's going to give you the most natural appearing look if you're thinking volume. But there's multiple components to this, to facial rejuvenation. Just kind of get out of the mindset of just filler fixes everything.
