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?
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.
How safe is it? I heard that even if you get breast implants under the muscle, you can still feel the shell if you feel under the breast. Could fat injections help conceal this?
Yes. Fat grafting is an effective technique in softening the visible edge of a breast implant or other unwanted irregularities or depressions about the chest. The fat is injected just under the skin in the areas of concern in a similar fashion as seen with facial filler injection but using a blunt canula instead of a needle.
Fat grafting can usually be done safely around the implant perimeter provided there is adequate tissue thickness over the device and the device is easily movable so that it can be displaced, and there is documentation of an intact implant prior to the procedure.
I personally would not use the technique to further enlarge a breast that already has an implant; changing to a larger implant would be more effective.
Using fat grafting in lieu of an implant for breast enlargement is a viable option for a modest augmentation.
Be sure you and your surgeon have a clearly documented understanding of the potential risk of damage to your implant and the anticipated recourse if this were to occur.
Best of luck to you.
Very Unhappy with New Look!
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.
