Can fat grafting be reversed?
Not like filler. Grafted fat that has taken is living tissue, so hyaluronidase has no effect on it. An excess can be reduced from the surface with energy-based treatment such as the Time Freeze Laser LCLR®, or removed with microliposuction when it is large and stable.

No. Hyaluronidase breaks down hyaluronic acid filler only. Many overfilled faces hold both filler and fat, so ultrasound is used to see which is present before anything is dissolved.

The fat that will not survive is absorbed over the first few months. The result is usually judged once swelling has gone and the surviving graft has settled, and after that it changes mainly with body weight.

More fat survived than was planned, the graft has grown with weight gain, filler is also present, or the face has descended under the extra weight. The cause is assessed first because each is treated differently.

Grafted fat that has taken behaves like the fat it came from, so it enlarges with weight gain. This is called fat graft hypertrophy.

Usually fat necrosis or oil cysts, where some grafted fat did not survive. Uneven graft can also feel lumpy. A new, painful or growing lump should be examined.

The lower eyelid skin is thin, so a little extra graft or a small lump shows easily as a ridge or bulge. It is told apart from filler and eye bags before anything is done.

Your treatment history is the starting point, and ultrasound usually confirms it. Filler and fat look different on ultrasound, and many faces turn out to have both.

Liposuction removes fat but does not tighten skin. Whether the skin shrinks back depends on age, skin quality, stretch marks and previous weight change.

Mild to moderate laxity often responds to energy-based tightening such as the VF Lift – Vertical Figure Lift. Marked excess skin needs a surgical opinion.

A true dent means fat is missing, so it usually needs filling, often by fat grafting. Energy-based treatment can soften the edges and tighten the skin around it but cannot replace lost volume.

Swelling makes most results look uneven for months. Lasting unevenness can come from uneven graft survival, lumps of fat necrosis, dents at the liposuction site or loose skin.

Small-volume liposuction through fine cannulas. In Singapore it is regulated as liposuction: it must be done by an MOH-accredited doctor in an approved setting, with a cooling-off period before surgery.

No. Laser liposuction places a fibre under the skin and removes fat by suction. Time Freeze Laser LCLR® is applied from the surface and remodels superficial fat gradually while tightening skin.

Removed fat does not come back, and the face loses more volume with age, so hollowing can appear years later. Lean areas are supported rather than reduced further.
