Fat injections

You might try Dr. Patrick Lillis in Loveland, Co.  If he does not perform enough of these to make it worth your trip to see him, he might recommend someone for you.  Fat injections do take patience as not all fat lives and many times it has to be done a few times to build on the success of the last treatment.  Also, artistry, as you say, is important, as is a physician who will listen to your concerns and goals.
