I had 2 facelifts and my surgeon is suggesting fat grafting to my face for facial rejuvenation by Dr. Philip Young Bellevue | Seattle: Fat is a great option after multiple facelifts (Dr Phil Young Seattle / Bellevue Washington) to volumize the face. Aging can be seen as a process of changing from a grape to a raisin for lack of a better descriptive scenario. Facelifts essentially make the raisin into a smaller raisin. When in fact to look younger a lot of times looking like a fuller younger naturally looking grape is the better option. This is where volumizing plays an important role. Fat injections volumize the face to return the raisin to the grape that it used to be. Given that you have had 2 facelifts, you likely have a reduced skin volume and hence you will be smaller than the grape you once were, unless you gained alot of weight during the years. Volumizing would be excellent for you likely. But it all depends on what you look like and this is a general comment. At the age of 74, you can still get benefits from facial fat grafting. I have done a lot of patients over this age. It all depends on your health. Of course you need enough fat to do the procedure and your surgeon can tell you about that or assess this situation. Here is a youtube video showing fat injections into the cheek (Dr Young fat injections to the cheek)
