1 YEAR POST of 62cc Full Face Fat!! And my face has stood the Ultimate test...WEIGHT LOSS of 10lbs at 54years old!
So, I really don't think much has changed since my last update in the way of:
(a) Skin texture
(b) Skin Volume
However, what I did have done (since my full face fat transfer) was THERMAGE to my eyes this past April 28th. I used my last AFTER photo that I posted here (zoomed up the eyes) and then compared it with my photo taken just today! I do see a difference and I can really tell when I put on eye make-up. So. I'm really glad I did that small procedure to enhance my Face Fat Transfer!
What I do want to tell you my lovely ladies...that this past June/July/August I dropped 10lbs...I went from 115lb-105 to make a weight category (as I'm a Master Weight Lifter). I was concerned I'd lose all my fat from my face...but OMG...I'm so happy to say my face stood up!! I've since regained 4lbs...and have decided to stay at this weight (109lbs) because I need to weigh in again at 105lbs for another upcoming Lifting Competition.
I still don't do any Botox to my face at all but I have used a bit for some neck bands! So other than that...that's about it! I'm SO SO happy that I did this procedure...I just couldn't image my face as it was before!
Last procedure on my to do list...is a rhinoplasty revision I have planned with Dr. Dennenburg. The procedure was booked for this past September, but I had to delay it...but it's re-booked for next August!
My next up-date will be in another 6 months time.
Take Care ladies & gentleman, I hope this up-date gives you some clarification as to whether a face fat transfer might be for you.

(c) The features on my face look way more balanced!
(d) My jaw-line looks elegant
(e) My Neck-line looks smooth & youthful

My Healing progress over the 7.5 months:
(a) The skin under my eyes HEALED and is No longer pink & irritated.

OVERALL:
I’m very pleased with my full face fat transfer…everything is STILL perfectly smooth & balanced. No lumps or bumps anywhere! The biggest thing issss...I no longer do Botox injections. I feel my face looks more natural, softer and not so harsh looking as before. I use only 2 products...a skin lightener & eye cream every morning followed up by sunscreen and again skin lightener & eye cream every evening. I DO NOT wear foundation at all unless we are going out on a special evening.
I'm very happy that I did this face fat transfer with Dr.Shapiro!
Provider Review
Dr. Shapiro’s Fat Transfer to my Face made me look 15 YEAR YOUNGER! A FACE-LIFT without a Knife! I’ve discovered that different Plastic Surgeons see things differently, and some have an eye for detail and others simply not. Since many patients describe their surgeons as artists…then lets start there. Here’s a fine example of two great artists: Robert Bateman and Andrew Wyeth. As an artist myself, I LOVED the work of Robert Batman...DETAILED in everyway. Andrew Wyeth work is beautiful but not tight! When I showed up at my weekly art classes, I always had Robert Batemans work in tow. My art teacher said…so you love the tight painting & fine detail. “Yes, I do” THE CONSULT: When I made a consult with Dr. Shapiro he was thoughtful & attentive to all of my concerns. I had no idea, what he may suggest regarding my face & what I should do to freshen things up. Dr. Shapiro took a moment…carefully listened to what I didn’t like about my face…and with-in a few minutes made recommendations that I proceed with a full face fat transfer & 35% TCA Peel under my eyes to clean up wrinkles & dark circles that made me look tired. MY RESULTS TODAY: Dr. Shapiro is the artist I was always looking for…he saw what I saw and he was realistic with me about what could or couldn’t be done! He doesn’t hold anything back when he speaks. He’s intelligent, has a wonderful sense of humor. I trust what he tells me because he knows & loves his job. The staff support and help to guide his patients before & after all procedures. Dr. Shapiro runs a tight ship and fantastic crew that all are synchronized together. Dr. Shapiro in my eyes, is like the great artist Robert Bateman that I come to love and admire. Their work IS outstanding and breathtaking in every sense! I highly recommend Dr. Daniel Shapiro for any procedure that you maybe considering! He has aced my: and Face Fat Transfer Minimal Incision Arm-Lift & Arm Lipo,. Thank You once again Dr. Shapiro for changing my body image and confidence!
