Zeltiq Can It Be Use on my Face to Melt my Fat Transfer?

I had fat injected into my face almost 1 1/2 years ago. The doctor not only overfilled my whole face he also filled more on my left side than right side. He totally changed my face from long face to round face. My eyes is getting smaller and I look older due to the fat he injected under my eyebrow. I'm praying everyday for it to go away completely I want my before face back.

I would recommend you see a cosmetic specialist who is very experienced in fat transfers to see if anything can be done. Good luck, I hope you find a... more
