  Hi Misty, I had my fat transfer 1 year ago...I was swollen for a few days but once that went down there were no visible signs that I had any additional volume...except for a small area near the bridge of my nose where there are now some white bumps under the skin...just on one side. I was not happy and paid $2,750.00 for this procedure. I understand that not all fat will live so also wondered if that is true how can they make sure that you are symmetrical? I should probably go back to the Dr. who performed this as I am not happy with the results.

  Does anyone know if fat transfer into muscle eliminates the white lumps that seem to be visible under the skin? It would seem to me if the fat is injected into the dermas it would show through the skin and the end result is very unattractive.

  I too got lumps after fat grafting...thankfully the vast majority of the graft did not 'take' and the fat was absorbed but what did last is small lumps (white) and they are as you say more visible under overhead lighting. The also give one the appearance of an aged face. I wonder if anyone knows if the technique of putting the fat into the muscle is the remedy and that is why others did not get same.

  Jewel123, I had fat transfer most of which did not 'take'. I am thankful that it was absorbed into my body because the areas that it survived I have noticeable white lumps...they are on the bridge of my nose and one side is more pronounced than the other. I wonder if it is the Doctors technique...perhaps he didn't inject it into the muscle as those who have had a good result. I agree with you the result for me is an older look because of the lumps and I also agree that it is much more noticeable based upon lighting. I am happy for those who had good results...think it is Doctors procedures which probably make the difference.
