Can you use the Nu Skin device after fat grafting?

March 16, 2015
Asked By:SandyGR in Los Angeles, CA

I have had fat grafting in my check bones and under my eyes (it is about 4 years old). I had it done by a plastic surgeon (Dr Ellenbogen). I would like to use the Nu Skin device for my jowl area. Will it effect my fat grafting by melting the fat if I do it along my jowl area, nasal folds, and forehead?

I would suggest first trying fillers for the marionette lines.  Fat is usually not a good option there.  Also, unclear what you're referring to in the droopy neck but that may be related to skin issues and fat not an option. Discuss with your plastic surgeon.
