Big News on Fat Transfer Lumps: One Year, 3 Corrections Later - Atlanta, GA

"Dr Rohrich says that people online are not the same thing and cannot be compared to his procedure." People online are the same thing - real people who have gone to "reputable" doctors and had FT, which is the same procedure you're talking about. It's good that you're doing your research. Good luck to you and best wishes!

Why would anyone ever have FT after reading all the stories on here? I've never heard of anyone who was happy with the results. My FT has been an unmitigated nightmare with no solution in sight. At the very least, have them do fillers first to see the best chance scenario of how it might look. Don't worry about the extra money; you will spend 20 times that on corrections if you have FT.

Hi Lesha9137, The terms are confusing. My doctor was a dermatologist and a member of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery and the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. He was not a plastic surgeon and not a member of the American Academy of Plastic Surgery. Very few, if any, plastic surgeons are certified by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery. No non-plastic surgeons are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons. To be classified as "plastic" or "cosmetic" requires a significantly different amount of training, with the former being greater than the latter. And the terms "Society" and "Academy" are equally misunderstood. If you have a procedure done to your face that is of a permanent nature, you want to go to a plastic surgeon. Botox and temporary fillers done by a reputable cosmetic surgeon are fine, but most of your fat transfer is going to be permanent, especially if it involves scar tissue in your cheeks or under your eyes. It is a much riskier procedure than was described to me, with long term, permanent complications very possible. What concern is your fat transfer being suggested to address?

It seems like a vascular surgeon could do sclerotherapy on a vein like that, but that's just a guess. Do you know if an ultrasound would reveal what was causing the hardness in my FT? I was wondering if it could be anything else besides scar tissue.

Hi Michhy, I too devloped a big vein under my eye after f/t, right where the scar tissue is. Did you have yours treated to go away?
