i hate my cheek fat graft its disgusting and big i would like to remove it, what are some non invasive ways to remove the fat grafting, it seems not to want to dissolve in body whatsoever, i am stressed out by it very much please help.
A critical point is how long has the graft been in place. If very recent [ under 1 month] , I suggest waiting. If the fat has been there longer, injections with a corticosteroid can decrease the size. It would be done on a monthly basis , with a cautious approach, to assess the progress & not cause unsightly indentations.
I had a fat transfer to my flat cheeks about 2 weeks ago. So far, it looks nice. However, my doctor said I might want to come back for a touch up in 6 months. I have a question about her procedure. She harvested the fat with a hand syringe. But, she did not spin the fat before injecting. What are your thoughts on this? I know I should have asked her, but I did not. Thanks!
Dear 678Sandy, It is perfectly okay not to spin the harvested fat. The whole purpose of spinning is to separate the true fat from serum/blood/anesthetic fluid. This can be equally accomplished by putting the syringes in a vertical position to allow the fluids to gravitate to the bottom & the fat remains on top. You get excellent quality fat for the transfer. I use the FAMI technique , but stopped the spinning several years ago, with no effect whatsoever on the results. I usually hold some of the harvested fat in the freezer for "touch-ups" over the following 1 year , if needed.
