I got facial fat grafting a year ago in South Korea and it is my biggest regret. It has made my face look disproportionate and weird. I dont recognize myself in the mirror. When I smile, my eyes are pushed up and appear smaller. My cheeks look swollen. I hate the way I look. Please advise how I can fix my face.
I had a facial fat transfer almost 9 months ago. My doctor has done 3 Morpheus treatments since then. I have a lot of swelling under my eyes still and one side looks sunken in a bit. What would you suggest I do to correct this and the wrinkles I am getting?
Female, 32, 56. 10 years ago I did a facial fat transfer with the groin as the donor site. Although ten years have passed, whenever I eat anything salty my face swells up and it takes a couple of days for the swelling to go down. Is there anything i can be doing to prevent the swelling? Is this normal? Its been ten years
I would like to know how much of the grafted fat survives by the end of fourth week and sixth week? Particularly upper eyelid area on average? I mean is there too much volume difference between first and third month(which is typically considered as final result)? Or most of the swelling and fat absorption should have been subsided by the end of first month? Thank you.
I have read that dermal filler in the cheeks, and tear trough can block facial lymphatics and cause tear trough swelling. Would facial fat transfer/grafting affect lymphatic drainage in the same manner?
I have fat graft done 6 months ago. I have notice an uneven soft lump on one side of my face. I have contacted my surgeon and she said it is swelling that has not subside but I dont think it is so I continue to complain to her about it. She told me if I am not happy she can do lipolysis to help reduce it. I dont trust her by now and wonder what causes this.
I had two facial fat transfer procedures almost three years ago. The second procedure was due to the fact that some of the fat disappeared on my right cheek/midface area. After the second procedure an issue emerged. The fat would swell every time I drank or eat certain food..Eg: coffee, certain alcohol, spicy food. If I avoid these things, then my face looks normal. Could I have a bacterial infection in the fat? Could it be candida transferred from the abdominal area?
Hi Doctors, I had a total 40cc of fat grafted to my face 1 month ago. It was 10-15cc on each cheek blended with surroundings (in his words), 2-3cc on nasolabial fold, 1cc on the mouth corner, the rest on temples and forehead. My cheeks are fuller than what I want, and my jaw is squarish right now although the doctor didn't put any fat there. My question is, will this continue improving? How much more fat will be absorbed by the body and how can I know if all the swells are gone? Thank you!
I had standalone nanofat injections under my eyes for texture and pigmentation. It has been five weeks and my undereyes are still puffy. I'm afraid that the nanofat has filled that area, which I didn't need since I don't have hollow undereyes. My bags look worse, will the swelling go away? Is it possible that it's not swelling and grafted fat? Am I overreacting since it has only been five weeks? And in that case, how much longer should I wait for final results?
I am 8 days post surgery, under my eyes are still quite puffy and every color of the rainbow, purple, red, yellow etc, my lips look like duck lips. I look in the mirror and still do not see me, I wanted to still look like me just not a tired me, I love my Doctor and I hopeful that this is still just part of the healing process- my lips and weird and my smile has changed..He knows I just wanted a real natural appearance.
