Dr. Ellenbogen of Los Angeles has some remarkable before and after photos on his website of clients who underwent 'fat grafting' on their faces as an alternative to a face lift.

The fat grafting procedure is one where your own fat is taken from some other part of your body and then injected in the area on the face where the fat has been lost due to aging. This fat can also be used to create fuller lips and higher cheekbones.

He notes that good candidates for facial reshaping include those with:

* Gaunt face and/or neck laxity
* Long face
* Localized fat atrophy face
* Bottom-heavy face
* Midface retrusion
* Asymmetrical face
* Chubby face
* Optical illusion
* Sunken eyes
