I have a 29" waist and love handles that are 38" at the fullest part. When the love handle curve ends, the line goes in and then goes out for 42.5" hips. It looks like a triple curve on my body. 1) Is there a way I can just get fat injected into the line that goes back in so that way the love handle curve extends into my hips, making it look like an hourglass shape? 2) Does the fat need to be injected just at the sides or around the whole body? What is the procedure called, if it does exist?
Fat transfer is possible for all types of body contouring. However, given your description it sounds as though liposuction (rather than fat transfer) maybe more appropriate to smooth the transition from you waist to your thighs. Prior to any procedure however, be sure that the surgeon you are seeing is Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. You can find a surgeon in your area by going to the ASPS website.
I had my first fat transfer to the breasts 2 weeks ago. Is it normal for the breasts to feel tight and lumpy at this point. Do the breasts eventually feel softer and move more natural? I am also wearing the brava bra postoperatively for increased circulation to the new fat.
Based on the fact you are using the Brava system, I'm assuming you underwent a large volume of fat transfer for breast augmentation. In small volume scenarios, lumpiness is rare because the fat is distributed in very small channels and eveness is the goal. In larger volumes, lumpiness is almost unavoidable. Although the Brava bra can stimulate (according to it's proponents) increased blood flow, this flow increase would be limited to areas of existing blood vessels. Lumpiness is usually due to an uneven distribution of the fat within an area of the breast. This can be concerning due to fat necrosis, oil cysts, or persitent firmness in the breast over time. Careful follow up is necessary to identify these issues and caution is advised when seeking out these types of surgeries. Multiple grafting procedures over a long period of time are typically necessary to limit complications by not trying to transfer as much fat as possible in 1 surgery. Although "settling down" of lumpy areas occurs, this is probably more likely due to the fat in that area lysing and being absorbed than it revascularizing and flattening out.
I got Juvederm in the upper cheeks, eye troughs, and nasolabial area. It is now 6 months, and I would like to consider a more permanent solution like fat grafting. Is it okay to do so?
The only thing to think about is that there may be some Juvederm left in the area. If this is the case, your physician might want to fill in a little more, to account for the loss of volume from this last bit of Juvederm. To be absolutely certain that you're starting with a "clean slate" you could wait 4-6 months more, at which point you'll be back to your baseline.
