  • Posted to Has Anyone Successfully Corrected Under Eye Fat Transfer? - New York, NY on 1 Nov 2012

    Somebody say my name :) Yeah, that would be correct. I too had the misfortune of finding berman. We could've written each others experience because he's that consistent. Consistently bad that is. If you want to go to someone who does his own thing contrary to your specific requests and consequently get f***ed up he's definitely your guy.

    Hey Jesse I know exactly how you feel. I could've written your situation verbatim. Your pics are the same as mine. I had mine in 12/08. Were pretty close in age too. About the time you notice stuff like this too. My puffiness was the same as yours and the following hollowing was about the same too. Kind of puffy in the morning but usually gone by afternoon. Allot of what you saw was just fluid retention from things like high sodium, etc.

    Anyways, looking at your pics it’s apparent that the doctor took out too much fat. You’re not an extreme case but you have hollowing all the same. Based on your before pics you should’ve never had fat removal in the first place or at the very least a VERY conservative amount removed.

    I too thought of the filler solution before. Even had it scheduled. Just couldn’t get over the hurdle of adding something to reduce something philosophy. Well, now I know it comes from the natural volume loss we experience in the mid facial area. Not allot but just enough to make the eye fat more visible at times. Adding filler would actually be restoring your face.

    When too much fat is removed it’s always noticed in the outer corners. Like someone pressing down with an eraser pencil. Pretty universal stuff.

    “I was NOT prepared for the psychological impact of permanent changes to my appearance “Yeah, it’s pretty amazing isn’t it. You just don’t realize how bad it is till it happens. Not something you can even explain to someone. Although, your experience feels unique to you it’s very standard I hate to say.
