Fat boasts multiple properties that make it more advantageous over fillers for volumetric rejuvenation. Most fillers are foreign bodies tolerated by the face, but they never fully become part of it. On the contrary, fat integrates with the tissues of the face because it is an autologous graft, meaning it involves transporting living tissue from one part of the body to another. Another advantage of fat is that it offers more natural results. The face easily assimilates adipose tissue grafts.
Fat particles can be injected in all tissue planes to provide a more uniform volume distribution and avoid the tell-tale signs of most dermal fillers. Lastly, the stem cell effect of fat improves tissue quality and provides a more predictable and durable aesthetic result. It comes as no surprise that fat is considered by many as the perfect filler.
