Manhattan Beach Fat Transfer Doctors and Reviews

“Fat Transfer...don't Do It. -Beverly...”

My experience with fat transfer has been nothing less than a nightmare that I can't seem to wake up from. Two years ago I was talked into this procedure when I went to have a breast implant replacement. I actually never had any intention of doing anything to my face. In fact, I thought I looked pretty good for a 60 year old woman and was often told I looked far younger than my age. But he... more

“Facial Fat Transfer for Facial...”

I had lost some weight and with age I was really starting to look hollow in the face. My cheeks were deflated and my whole eye was sunken in. I had used fillers before and they were OK but they were temporary. Dr. Hughes suggested facial fat grafting. He said that would save money in the long term, especially due to the amount of filler I got at one time. I was sometimes spending $2000 for... more

“Fat Transfer For My Eyes - Encino, CA”

During my first consult I wanted upper and lower eye surgery. I chose this surgeon due to so many reviews. My mistake was he did not have any reviews for this surgery and he highly recommended using fat transfer on entire face, including under eyes. I got scared and tried to cancel the fat transfer but he made it sound as if I would love my results. I made sure he knew I had to be back to work... more

“Beware of This Celebrity Plastic...”

My ocular surgeon recrurited Dr. Joel Aronowitz to join him in a June, 2012 surgery. My eye surgery was a medical necessity and Dr. Aronowitz was invited to participate at the same surgery in order to add stem cell fat to areas of my face that had been damaged and had disfiguring indentations and loss of fat due to partial paralysis. Dr. Aronowotiz charged me $18,000. As ypu can see from... more

“Implant Removal with Fat Transfer -...”

I had my implants removed and replaced with a fat transfer on the 30th of April, 2012. I plan to update this throughout my journey. I'm not sure what to say about this, & I do not want to go into too much detail, or post pictures just yet, because I'm being told that I've not reached my final results. I will be updating my experience in great detail, and including pictures in the following... more

“Face Transfer - Beverly Hills, CA”

Over all I had a rough time with this because I had no idea the healing time and it was very hard looking at myself in the mornin. I looked like a totally different person for about 3 weeks it was scary. I started having lots of doubts and was mad at mysellf but once u get past the swelling and start lookin like yourself again it's not bad. My face seemed to still look really big but at... more

“I Did It. Don't Do It. - Pasadena, CA”

I am 5'5 124lbs. Before the surgery I was a 36B. After the surgery I became a 38B. I did not notice a difference that was worth it. I too thought 1 cup size or two would be great but it was probably the worse decision I made. Now my what were once healthy breasts are covered in cysts. 1 year later these cysts hurt. The Dr said that when fat dies it can calcify. These cysts interfere with... more

“Miracle Worker - Beverly Hills, CA”

Revisions to correct prior procedure. I initially went to see him for a non-cosmetic eye problem that was caused by a really bad bleph. I had no idea that the cosmetic aspects of it were fixable. When I walked into his office the first time he said “wow, someone really hollowed you out!”. He has not only restored me back to my former self, but even better than before. He did it... more

“Fat Graft to Breasts!!! Best Surgeon...”

For any women suffering from a deformity due to breast ex-plantation or bad implants or even cancer treatment; Dr Rogers is excellently skilled at fixing these problems. I've seen pictures of complete breast removals being repaired to an incredible real looking breast. I had silicone implants removed by another Dr who told me I would just be "flat". 'Flat' or... more

“The Worst Decision of My Life”

I got a Fat Transfer under my eyes from a respected Los Angeles surgeon. I never thought I looked bad, but there was some minor hollowing mainly around the outer oribital rim which would make me look a bit unrested sometimes. I was told this was a straightforward procedure, with few risks, and that I'd be looking great after about 3 weeks of swelling and bruising. Here's what I... more

“Bad fat overfill - ongoing review”

I didn't use to think that fat transfers were a big deal. I'm in my 20s and spent money regularly on expensive juve and resty treatments - thought fat would be more economical in the long run and a worthwhile investment. Sadly, my surgeon didn't listen, lacked ethics and neglected to exercise good judgement. After pointing out tiny areas to be done (just as I used to do... more

“Unhappy with Fat Grafting - Los...”

I had fat grafting done three years ago when I was 19 to my cheeks. I am still unhappy with the results, as it looks pudgy as opposed to pretty. The fat was taken from below my left hip. I am slim, but if I work on losing fat, is it possible to lose this fat on the face? When placed on the face does it act as face fat, or does it still hold the difficulty of losing more

“REAL BREASTS!!! Fat Transfer to...”

To enhance breast overall appearance. One sentence can explain everything. I have now PERFECT Breasts!!! and they are REAL!!! more

“False Surgery - Beverly Hills, CA”

After unprofessional facelift and abdominal liposuction by another doctor I was looking for a help from Dr A. He had a good reviews so even I didn't see amazing before & after pictures, I thought he probably would be excellent surgeon. I was looking for a facial fat transfer and mini facelift so everything was good at the consultation because Dr A agreed. He was willing to fix my... more

“Fat Injections in Face - Beverly...”

Im a 35 year-old male who had fat injections in face. After reading some reviews I'm starting to get worried although I have no early signs (2 weeks) of complications. I wish I had done my research on real self before the procedure. Im worried that my face will be disproportionate in time as the fat is absorbed. I was wondering how long I should wait before doing a midface lift. Should I wait... more

Wanted a some restoration of volume. Done on 1/20/10. Results vary with this procedure but I was pleasantly surprised at the improvement to my overall skin texture and fullnes even a year later. more

“Permanent Disfigurement - Los Angeles”

I had fat transfer under my eyes. The immediate result was very noticeable mismatched lumps under each eye. My Dr.told me it would last about 3 months. A year later there was still no improvement. During this year I tried restyline to fill in the lumpiness. It didnt work. I tried Radiesse to raise my cheeks in an attempt to hide the lumps. That didnt work either. I also had to get a series of... more

“Warning : Fat Transfer Nightmare...”

I used to be so happy with myself , except for some wrinkling on my lower eyelids that I thought would be fixed by the fat transfer procedure. I went to a doctor that had great before and afters, but unfortunately, he did not tell me that i had any other options besides the fat transfer. Had i known about the other less risky dermal fillers , I would have opted for them and not the fat... more

“Fat Transfer - Upper Face”

“Good Results with Fat Injections”

I have gotten fat injections three times over the last 14 years for naso-labial folds. The first time, it didn't last all that long. The second time, the doctor changed his technique and it was only about 8 years later that I decided I needed to do it again. 8 years ago, the doctor put some fat in my upper lip and it has lasted ever since and looks very natural (not a trout pout). The... more

“Fat Transfer Under Eyes Looks Great”

I had my doctor transfer some fat to my undereye hollows and it looks fantastic!Also - I had hardly any bruising, and I always bruise from the slighest bump. Now my dark circles are completely gone and I definitely look younger.  more

“Lumpy Fat Injection Under Eyes”

There are no pros to having fat injected under your eyes. Fat is way too thick. Afterwards, my Dr. explained it, unlike other fillers, tends to 'colonize' and make its own lumps. Im 4 months out and still everytime I glance in the mirror I see a haggard old woman because of the bags I paid to have injected under my eyes. more
