Can Brow Bone Augmentation Be Done By Fat Grafting?

Q:Dr. Eppley, I’ve been planning on supraorbital augmentation by fat grafts and I was wondering how much millimeters could be added to the protrusion of the supraorbital/brow ridge at most and at least, at least while still maintaining a natural appearance.

A:I suspect in the long run you will find brow bone augmentation by fat grafting to be a disappointing approach as fat has a very limited ability to do much push in tightly adherent tissue areas like the brows. But like all fat grafting it is about the volume placed and how much survives. Perhaps you will be lucky and end up with a few millimeters of added projection
