Donor adipose tissue injections marketed as the “zombie filler” are being discussed as a cosmetic option, but long-term data are scarce and there is no Australian approval yet. Experts warn of immune reactions, infection, and disease transmission, while noting the procedure is still novel and not backed by robust trials.

She urges readers to thoroughly vet surgeons, ask detailed questions about recovery, and consider delaying cosmetic eye procedures until life circumstances (like parenting) are more settled, while acknowledging the eventual positive outcome.
Denise Richards, 55, publicly shared six angles of her June 2025 facelift, signaling a broader trend: facelifts are increasingly discussed openly as younger patients seek natural-looking rejuvenation.
