Fat Transfer to Cheeks and Hands Under General Anesthesia - Rosemont, IL

Hi again Kate,

Do you think it would be all that useful without a "before" picture?

In any event, I don't have a camera and feel a little weird about approaching somebody and saying , "Hey, would you take a picture of my hands? (smile)

Hi Kate,

Thank you for your kind words (smile).

My hands were a little sensitive for a few weeks, but I it didn't interfere with my ability to do anything (it might have made it difficult to wear gloves... I don't know because I did this in the summer).

And it was a few weeks before the swelling came down - before that they looked a bit strange.

I am VERY glad I did this. Before I had a reasonably youthful face but my hands gave away my age. Not anymore (grin!).

Hi bambi07,

I had an outstanding result with regard to cheeks and nasolabial folds with Dr. Stefan Szczerba in Rosemont, IL (immediately adjacent to O'Hare airport). I posted a review about it on this site.

If Chicago is a realistic location for you I would urge you to contact Dr. S.

I had a positive experience with fat grafting to my cheeks so I asked my PS about fat grafting under the eyes. He said the results in that area were too unpredictable, and strongly advised against it (meaning, I presume, he would not perform this procedure).
