Sorry to hear about your results. It will be interesting to see what another surgeon says.
I had a fat transfer and facelift in November 2009. I loved the results. I just had a second fat transfer on November 11 so I am still healing from that.
I hope things work out for you.

By looking at your pictures I honestly think you look fine... you defiantly look better in your after then your before.
but your results I defiantly nice and natural looking to me.

I agree. Your after pic looks really natural. I know when I had my fat grafting/transfer done, that my face was slightly swollen for a time. The other thing, is that my face did look different. I had a bit of difficulty adjusting to the "new me". However, after a year or so...it seemed so natural and I really liked the result. Know, too that even after th second year some fat will reabsorb and will continue to do so. Still, you look fabulous!

Maybe you didn't choose the right pictures, because honestly you look by far better in the post-op picture. Still i guess you can judge by yourself and really hope you can get it removed if you think it was better before. Good luck !

Thanks for sharing with us. Has anyone had good LONGTERM result from fat transfers? Thanks.

I had fat transfer/grafting done six years ago. The length of time (how long it lasts) varies from person to person as the fat slowly continues to reabsorb as you age. My face has still retained some of the transferred fat. I would like to do it again, for under my eyes and a little more in the nasolabial folds. At some point though, for those of us who are older,(like me at age 60), a midface lift along with the fat transfer would give the best result.
Sorry to hear about your results. :( Here's some advice from doctors on how to remove fat transfers. I hope that helps and please keep us updated with what you decide to do.
