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 Lam? I had a consult with him and would love to talk with an actual patient.

Is there anything at all that you regret?

No, I have no regrets about the f/g. He's a great doctor and one of the best at this procedure, certainly.

SouthernCal, I'm thinking about going to see Dr. L. Do you mind telling me how long ago you had the procedure and if you are still showing results? Thanks, D.

July 07 full f/g. Definitely still seeing the result. Aging continues, of course, but the fat's still there and it has helped.

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?

I had a fat grafting procedure done with Dr. Lam and it did not go well. I felt all he wanted was to get me in and out as fast as possible (and you pay in advance). The face looked lumpy and not enough fat was injected to make it look natural. He has a strong marketing machine and that's how I found out about him. Next time I'll wait to meet someone in person that has gone through the procedure in order to consider going to their doctor.

I had a horrid facelift and eye lift that hollowed out my eyes. Would you recommend this doctor. Thanks

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 and you can email me bangeline@mac.com. Be well!
