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.
In order to reduce the appearence of a fat lump after fat graft, could injecting the surrounding area with fat a possible fix? 16 days ago i had fat graf to the under eyes, now I have a visible lump under my right eye and it looks puffy under it as well. I am very frustrated since everybody says there is NO easy fix for my issue. What bothers me the most is the care free attitude my doctor is demostrating and the lack of honesty on the the possible outcomes.
I have fat grafting under my eyes on July 20th. I'm 4months post op. After one month one of my eyes went down and looked regular however the other eye left a bag. After a few months I had 3 series of steroid injections to deflate it however still left with a bag. They took a diff approach and injected it with a hydraulic acid filler and OMG my eye looks worse. 1 day post op from the filler and It's even more puffy and I'm so sad because I'm only 21. This is horrible what should I do?
I received fat grafting to my face last year. I'm disappointed with my results for several reasons. 1) The fat placed under my eyes has created a puffy spot under my left eye, accentuating dark circles. 2) The fat placed on my cheeks has drooped & accentuated my nasolabial folds. It also looks like I have pillows on my face. 3) The fat placed on my chin (to correct asymmetry) is accentuating is too much. Best way to correct these issues? I do not want to add more to my face with fillers.
20s, I want volume to forehead and cheeks since it's so flat but i hear about patients where the fat migrates from forehead and down to the eyes causing puffy eyes and fat on cheeks which moved to jawline causing sagging. Why is it happening? Why does it take irregularly and lead to asymmetry? This is worrisome and makes me want to try fillers instead
During lipo on my stomach, the Dr. made a small dimple or dip and dedcided to fix it by injecting some fat back into that area. He stated he needed to over stuff a little since it does not all stay. It has been 1 week and that spot is puffy and pretty hard or firm underneath. I do not think it is swelling, I think it is too much fat. Will it still go down and soften up or does it sound like he will have to re lipo that area? how long before he can do it, I can not go go months with this bulge...
I had hollowness in my lower eyes from a Blepharoplasty that was done 1 1/2 yr ago. I went to a few doctors in NYC who said putting fat back in the lower eyes is easy, but fat grafting the eyes may look lumpy. So I started looking for doctors online, and found one who does this and he says he's a specialist in this. I had Pearl Fat Grafting done through him 2 months ago, and my eyes went from hollow to puffy. I don't like the way I look, and I don't see the puffiness going down, yet he said it takes time. He told me i also had tear trough deformity, which i noticed before he did anything. I also have hyperpigemention under my eyes, which got darker after the procedure. He said it will fade in time. The photo below shows a day pre-procedure, and 6 weeks post-procedure. This doctor always tells me "give it time", but I'm concerned because I have to go back to work soon, and I need something that can help me as soon as possible. What are my options for getting these fixed?
