    Thank you for your words. What I was trying to say is actually that they usually extract a lot from the donor area but they can not use it all because not all is fat they have to process it then they inject what they consider is more pure. Even that fat selected is not necessarily 100% pure, according to the doctors there is some substances are not possible to separate from the fat.

    In my case the lipo part (fat extraction)was great because I did get results I did not even expected it( flatter low belly)I like it.

    I don't think that you have to worry in regards your concern of some fat regrowing, they do not put back to you anything or leave it on you. In regards if the fat they will put in your face will survive is very difficult to say it according to my search including but not limited to speaking with few doctors it depends on your body and there is no way to know till you get it, as I said in a previous comment in my case I have some areas that so far the fat is surviving and others the fat is already gone. Therefore I decided to wait at least 6 months to see how much stays and decide if I would try to fill the areas the fat did not survive. To honest with you I did not like the procedure because of all the swelling , bruise, pain in my case for almost three weeks but if worth it I will do it again. In regards if the results look natural in my opinion at the begining most of the fillers don't look natural specially if there is swelling but after few days or weeks if well done it definetly look natural now I have almost a month and it look natural according to my family and I still have some minor swelling now.

    Again In regards results let me tell you that I read reviews from people that says they are very happy and with one procedure was perfect and other reviews of people saying that they did it more than couple of times with minimun, some or not results. I hope my comment about my experience can help you and others. Thank you

    Yes The Belly was The Donor Area. What happen is that when they extract the fat the fat does not come alone it usually comes with water and other componemts. For you to have an idea what they finally transplant to you is not even 5% of the total of what they extract from the donor area since they have to process it. In may case according to the doctor he was not finding to much real fat and he extracted a lot more than usual. This fact actually was not good and actually caused a litle bit of complications but at the same time even thoug was not the purpose of the procedure helped me to get rid of my lower belly area which I have been fighting for years. Just for you to know my upper belly is packed,muscled but the lower was always a problem not matter how much I worked out or watch from fat food, well now the problem is solved. That is what I why am happy about that.

    You are welcome, restalyn is what most of the doctors recomend for delicate areas as the ones around the eyes but lower areas usually either Perlaine or Radiesse wich last more. Good thing about Radiesse is that the doctor can use just what you need and just save it in a freezer place and you can come back when you need it more even after months. That am not sure is possible to be done with other fillers.

    thank you Megan for reading my comments, In fat transfer the most important factor is that the fat cells remain alive because they die very soon after they are out from our bodys (usually an hour or less)doctor has to act quick which make the procedure kind of tense. Would be great that it can be storage but I understand that is not possible or even recomended. In the event that I need more we will need to re do the entire procedure which is as I mentioned kind of traumatic at least was in my case due to the procedure itself plus the big swelling etc, of course this time will be more prepared.

    Something similar happen to me according to the doctor and actually make sense what happen is that since one of the cheen has more volume now the other one that didn't take the fat looks to be a bigger depression than before. In my case I decided not to put more fat yet till at least 6 months as many doctors recomend to see exactly how is going to be the final look and if actually is worth it, in the meantime I just going to apply regular fillers in the depression area to make it even
