Can I Get Forehead Augmentation By Fat Grafting?

Q: Dr. Eppley, . I’m 33yo female. Prior rhino. My nostrils were fairly normal but now peaked…n nose is small and cut out looking overall.. likely due to Morpheus 8. It wiped out my facial fat and gave my nose a weird shape n my forehead has bone ridges. When my forehead was swollen after upper bleph- I really enjoyed what it looked like.

A: Fat grafting to the forehead and nose is very unpredictable in terms of survival and prone to irregularities so its use is restricted to very specific criteria.

For example a prior rhinoplasty would rule out fat grafting due to the scar tissue and the difficulty injecting into such tissues.

By description your forehead is more eligible since it has never had surgery and the problem appears to be skeletonization (lack of soft tissue volume)
