    TLDR Fat injections in the face can cause hair loss.
    This document reported the first known case of localized nonscarring and scarring alopecia caused by autologous fat grafting. Alopecia as a result of facial filler injections was extremely rare, with only 2 previous cases linked to hyaluronic acid. The underlying cause was believed to be vascular compromise, either from accidental intravascular injection or external compression by overfilled materials. The report also included a review of the literature on filler-induced alopecia.
