Can Dermal-Fat Grafts Be Used For Moderate Glabellar Lines?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I’m very curious about this kind of fat graft for moderate lines of the glabella but without the release component. Had a hypersensitivity reaction after many year of using it to filler and to botox. Not interested in fat injection due to embolism risk so your procedure looks promising. Can you provide a potential price range? And can this be done under local anesthesia?

A:Dermal-fat grafts are solid fat grafts that require a release and pocket creation to be placed. They would not be indicated for moderate glabellar lines but for larger soft tissue indentations.
