I made the mistake of not fully researching effects/aftermath of BFR. Looking to "fill in" that "gaunt" looking look from buccal fat removal.
Looking for someone's personal experience (good or bad) with buccal fat restoration? I've looked everywhere and it's mainly doctors suggesting a fat transfer or filler, but haven't seen anyone report on their experience.
I had fat transfer done to my tear troughs, temples and mid face three weeks ago. I'm 24. My undereyes are still puffy, more so than they were before. In fact, it looks like I have "bags" now. When will the swelling/puffiness go away? My provider keeps reassuring me that it's temporary but I'm concerned now.
I had under eye fat transfer about 7 weeks ago and still have bad swelling. Has anyone else had such bad swelling? I am stressed that something has gone wrong as all the reviews of fat transfer suggest swelling goes in a few weeks. My surgeon thinks it is just swelling but I am desperate for it to go! Any ideas?
Hi! I'm 62 and ready to finally to take the plunge. Any recs on doctors...or anyone to stay away from? I was originally thinking a deep plane lift...but am concerned about the increased risk that accompanies that. Experiences?Also, a surgeon that I met with wanted to do a fat transfer procedure at the same time. I could definitely use the extra volume...but am worried about complicatons. Are...
Hi. I just got facial fat grafting and silhouette instalift. My face looks like two different people from left to right. I have a drastic bump out on the one side and the other side is almost like ripples. I am not sure if this bump is a lump. It feels hard and round. It is so drastically different than my right side. Has anyone had this and will it go away. Totally freaking out. Thank you.
I now have rosacea/or some similar issue with my cheeks. Swelling/blisters redness and itchy skin. Could this be the fat transfer after all these years?
What should I do?
I had a life ruining experience in April. A med spa did a "minimally invasive skin tightening" HIFU treatment and it absolutely melted my once attractive face. I look so skeletal now. I am scared to do a fat transfer bc the results are so unpredictable. Please, who is the best Dr? Who should I steer clear from? I tried restylane and not much difference. Plus it's a little bumpy. Thanks for...
Is it worth it? I'm considering fat transfer to my lips and under eyes . Afraid the upper lip will look like when someone get fillers. The duck look.
Hello. I’m 28 years old. Six years ago I received a fat transfer to my cheeks and chin. One side was noticeably larger than the other, and is still larger 6 years later. Kybella injections have not helped shrink the fat. This is the second botched procedure that I’ve received from the performing Dr so I’m looking for someone else to help me. I was hoping to get micro lipo suction to the cheek...
I'm personally looking to do my second fat graft to the face after 2-1/2 years. I was a bit disappointed because the fat left my face in an unflattering way. (under eye and upper cheek area)
I've always felt like I have had a little 'forehead dent', as I called it. But over time it's gotten worse, and the 2 protrusions make a V like shape right about my eyebrows, which creates the forehead concavity. I have gotten Botox in my forehead many times, I was trying to look back at pictures to see if it was helping or making it worse but I couldn't tell. I was wondering if this was a...
I can't stop crying. I went to what was a supposed good plastic surgeon who conservatively places fat in the face. I had a lot of other facial procedures done. I still do not like how my face looks and I am three months out. And the surgeon isn't very friendly when I ask about it, and I'm actually slipping into a major depression over this. I would rather have my old looking face. Has anybody...
I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a face slimming cream or similar treatment? I gained 12 pounds over the holidays and I've noticed that the skin of my cheeks (and especially toward my nose) looks mottled/bumpy in the places where there are fat deposits and smooth elsewhere. Most of the cellulite creams are designed for thighs and similar, am wondering if there's one that would be safe to...
AccuTite and Morpheus8 ruined my lower face. I lost too much volume and look significantly aged. Has anyone experienced the same and did or considering doing fat transfer to fix it? Thanks!
Can I hear some experiences people have had with this? I had horrible buccal fat removal and facial lipo and devastating volume loss issues. I really want to move forward with a fat transfer but I'm also afraid of causing more problems. Anyone who has had this done could share their experiences?
Hi, I had a fat grafting under eyes 6 years ago, and it improved the way my eyes look by filling in the hollows, but I wanted to repeat the procedure to cover the dark color. After the procedure not only i do not see an improvement, because all the transferred fat disappeared, but also it seem to me that also part of the previously transmitted fat is gone. Is it possible?
I am interested in getting an expert opinion on whether I'm a candidate for facial fat grafting. Board certified Plastic surgeon. Member of Aesthetics Plastic Surgery. I would like to hear from people who've had this done and highly recommend the Dr. they used.
