I had chin implant in December, 2008. After healing, it left my right & left sides of my chin very wrinkled. The doctors said I needed a fat transfer to fill it in. I trusted their judgment.

On the 7th of July, 2009 I had a fat transfer to cover the wrinkled tissue (they did not know what caused it). Now my lower right lip meets my chin. It looks like someone slugged me and is distorted. The left side looks fairly normal. When palpitating both sides you can tell there is way too much fat on the right side pushing my lower lip up higher than normal. I feel like a freak.

I go to the doctor tomorrow, Monday. Can he dissolve some of this excess fat on the right side or what should I tell him I want him to do - I am extremely scared I am going to look like this forever and having anxiety attacks over it.

What does the community who has had this type of fat transfer feel about this?

Great review?

My Doctor: name not provided

If he can fix this terrible problem by taking out or dissolving some of the fat

The one thing good about fat is that many times it doesn't last at least not the full amount injected (believe me it never lasts long in my face in area's that move, same with fillers) I would rub it in a spread out type of motion and use movement because it can help it disolve faster

Holy Mother of God. You have me really afraid. I had a bad upper and lower eyelid surgery 7 years ago. It has taken me this long to deal with it, and look for any reversion. My surgery left me with a hollowed, hard appearance, totally altering what I once looked like.My husband thinks I'm crazy to want this trauma again, but I hate the way I look, now more than before the original surgery. Every plastic surgeon on here has suggested fat injections or grafts for filling in the hollowness and volume I now need from age. I read where fillers can move,shift and get into other area's,but did not think fat grafts and fat fillers could. It certainly appears as though that has happened, maybe not. Maybe it's only swollen from injections. Please,Please keep us informed on this situation. Let us know how things went. My prayers go out to you. I know exactly what your going through and it is an aweful, helpless feeling. We trust these doctors, put our faith in there judgement and professional experience. I wish you the very best.
