Robert Whitfield MD compares fat transfer and fillers for cosmetic procedures. He tried lip filler once, hated the swelling, and worries young people start with fillers too early. Fat transfer feels safer to patients because removing fat seems easier than reversing injections.
And I'm kind of curious about some of the other procedures and, like, you know, the future of implants, the future of other procedures like fat transfer. I'm even curious what your perspective is on things like. Like. Like silica, like injections in the face, like the hyaluronic acid, and, you know, filler and all that stuff. I mean, these are all the things that we put in our body. And, you know, I mean, in full disclosure, I tried filler one time. My lips, very small amount, and I hated it. Like, it, like, made. I woke up in the morning and I felt like I had. They were swollen. And I'm like, pretty sure my body's telling me that this is not supposed to be there. So, you know, I just think about how young people are starting with this. So, you know what? Maybe we start with fat transfer. Just on the heels of sort of talking about so much of the breast implants and explants, I think one of the fears with the fat transfer is that no one's scared to get rid of fat somewhere else, that's for sure.
