Dr Yager from ny said he put 800cc on each cheek and the reason I don't see the difference it because my fat cell shrink and it's in shock because of the fat transfer in the buttock.

Can any professional help me with this theory? I never heard of this. Will be buttock gets bigger later? Thanks you

Often, patients need to see their pre and postoperative photo evaluation to capture the difference. I've noticed the fat cells disappear more in patients as they age.
