What Are My Options For Fat Transfer Removal From Face? (photo) I had fat transfer under my eyes/top of cheeks 2 years ago with terrible results. The area is uneven& lumpy, with hard little beads underneath. There are zillions of plastic surgeons in Atlanta. I thought the one I went to was skilled, but he ruined my face. I met w/ a top ps here. He thought the area looked "freaky" but would only recommend filler on the outer side to even things up. How do I find a ps w/ fat trans experience? What are the best options that won't make it worse?

A: Remove unwanted fat from procedure with steroid injection

I would recommend one or more injections of very low concentration of cortisosteroid. These injections can have the side effect of fat atrophy or dissolving. I would start at low concentration and do injections as needed to achieve the desired effect.

Breast Fat Transfer 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.

A: Fat TRansfer to Breast

what you are experiencing to this point sounds normal -just keep your foillow-up appts to make sure you are on the right track

Fat Transfer for Under Eye Circles is fat transfer good for under eye hollows and small lines ? If anyone has done this procedure let me know how are the results. Thanks

A: better options for under eye hollows

Fat transfer can have more side effects and downtime than other fillers especially in the thin skin area under the eyes. I would recommend considering one of the hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane (which is one of my favorites under the eyes) or possibly a series of sculptra (poly-L lactic acid) injections. You will have natural looking results that are long lasting and associated with fewer side effects.
