Will a Laser Treatment Along With Fat Transfer Extend The Fat Transfer Results?

I am considering fat transfer treatment to smooth the appearance of acne scars along my cheeks. One surgeon I consulted with said using a laser treatment in same session as fat transfer, will improve results. Is this true?

A: yes to both

I agree that you will likely see better results if you undergo both procedures.  I also agree that this is not due to either of these making the other better, but that they help in different ways.  The fat will help fill in any volume deficiencies and the laser will help with skin irregularities.  Best of luck.

A: Iced duck?

Swelling from inflammation usually peaks in the first 24-72 hours.  Because of this, the ice is unlikely to be of particular benefit beyond this period.  Eating a low-salt diet and keeping your head elevated may help to hasten your recovery.  Good luck.

8 Days Ago I Had Fat Transferred into my Lips and I Don't Like It, How Can I Even it Out?

8 days ago I had fat transferred into my lips and I don't like it. I lost my signature smile and don't even look like myself. Is there something I can do to stop the fat from taking? I wish I never did the procedure. =( I just want to look like my old self again. I was told during my pre-op that 80% would stay. Is there something I can do to make that 30%? Oh and it's lumpy on one side... can I massage it to at the very least even it out?

A: Patience is a virtue

Fat transfer to any part of the body takes some time to even out and have the immediate swelling go down.  This is measured in weeks or months and most fat transfer surgeons would not consider revising the procedure prior to the 6 month mark.  Try to to be patient and follow up as instructed with your surgeon.  Hopefully your results improve over time.
