Quick answer
Dermal fillers are injectable gels, usually hyaluronic acid, that are quick, non-surgical, adjustable and reversible but temporary. Facial fat grafting uses your own fat, requires liposuction at a donor site and a surgical setting, and surviving fat can last for years. Fillers suit small, precise corrections; fat grafting suits broader volume restoration.
