Doctor Recommendation for Facial Fat Graft in Colorado

Hello, Thanks in advance for the help. 46 year old man in Colorado, havng a hard time finding a truly experienced, forthright doc (in Colorado) who has lots of pictoral evidence of their work on male facial fat grafts. I have significant fat loss in my upper cheek and tear troughs, and moderate bags under the eyes. But I'm lean, and blepharoplasty has been discouraged. I can see why. How can I find a good doc, who's experience and artistry I can verify?

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.
