    2.    Who is a good candidate for facial fat injection?
Individuals with facial volume loss, fine lines, wrinkles, or those desiring more defined facial contours are ideal candidates.
    3.    How is fat injection performed?
Fat is usually taken from areas like the abdomen, hips, or thighs via liposuction, processed, and then injected into the face.
