Video 2: Adjunctive fat grafting during face lift

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The process of fat augmentation involves targeting four main compartments: the nasolabial fold, deep malar, high malar, and middle malar. Fat is injected in varying amounts based on facial structure and fat loss. The procedure starts at the alar base, injecting two cc's deeply without over-injection. The lateral deep compartment also receives injections, placed circularly, to improve the eyelid-cheek junction. Additional fat is placed in the high malar area, particularly on narrower sides, within the SMAS layer and middle malar compartments to enhance facial lifting and fullness. This process is mirrored on both facial sides.
