“Long-lasting Fat Graft”
I had no idea that "fat" could do so much. I only knew I no longer had any on my face and I looked unhealthy, unattractive. I really thought my only recourse was a facelift. I had f/g along with plasma resurfacing, Botox and conservative lip augmentation. I am one year out, as they say. I look fantastic, if I do say so! Sorry, but I'll throw modesty out the window and speak frankly. I look 10 times better than I did before adding precious fat to my face. I recommend anyone experiencing volume loss just forget about temporary fillers and go for fat. Choose your doctor wisely--go with someone who makes this a specialty, someone with copious experience.

To Southern Cal Fan: Do you mind if I speak with you personally about your experience with Dr L? I had a consult with him and would love to talk with an actual patient.
I am definitely interested in this procedure and have been researching this Dr. myself. I didn't realize it was so expensive but if it actually lasts then it's well worth it? Was it only 1 procedure and how long were you off work/not able to be presentable to the public?
Hi! I can't contact you any other way, there's no contact option attached to your user name :( but thank you for the update! Because of it I joined Miss J's and realize Le has gotten quite popular! I used the name "Penelopee" there (spelled just like that) but haven't posted a topic yet. It's not very search friendly I find. You used Guyuron right? Hmmm. I'd love to see pics. Be well!
Hi, SouthernCal, I am very interested in the fat grafting procedure done around my eye area with Dr L. Do you mind to email me your before and after pictures? Thanks.
Sorry have been traveling and no time for email! They say you keep less than 1/2 the first time, yes I kept about 35-40%? But as a smoker that is Great odds... no lumps, now at 6+ months I'm still very happy - wish under my eyes it kept more, but also they do say IF you have a second fat fill, more stays as you have already built up the blood supply from 1st time -- No money for that, so I'm glad I did it all in 1 shot. Have a ton of photo's posted in MrsBoots on another plastic surgery board -- will try to get a before and after up here too! WELL worth it, but PAY alot to get the best doc you can :-)
