Fat Grafting by Dr. Mustoe Before & After Case 943

This 43-year-old woman's objective was to smooth the early aging lines appearing around her mouth. Experiencing the initial onset of age-related changes in her facial structure, she sought medical assistance, aiming to restore the youthful contours around her perioral area. After careful consideration, she decided on a fat grafting procedure by the esteemed Dr. Thomas Mustoe in Chicago, a crucial step towards achieving her desired aesthetic outcome.

Using the technique of perioral fat grafting, Dr. Mustoe harvested a small quantity of fat from the lateral thighs of the patient, approximately 5 mL, repurposing this into the prominent nasolabial fold and marionette lines on either side of her mouth. The result was not only a natural, youthful visage but also an increased self-confidence for the woman. She was especially delighted with the result, affirming it as "marvelous".
