I had fat transfer done to the face by Dr. Aniketh. It has been three weeks since the procedure was done and I am happy with the results. Dr Aniketh is an excellent doctor from all aspects.
I was very nervous to get this procedure done since it is permanent and cannot be undone (unlike fillers). But after meeting with Dr Aniketh I was so comfortable and confident in his abilities, I felt I was in good hands. He clearly explained the procedure and patiently answered all my doubts and concerns. I inquired about another procedure (brow lift) and he honestly suggested that I don’t really need it at this time, which showed he cares about his patient’s final results and looks more than anything.
The procedure was carried out under local anesthesia. During the procedure, he talked through each step he was doing. At one point, I very weirdly flinched and shook my head even though my eyes were closed (I guess it was the anticipation of the needle approaching :-D). So he gently held my head and asked me kindly if I was ok, and that really calmed me down! I barely felt anything during the procedure, no pain really, just the initial few pricks for the local anesthesia.
Right after the procedure, there was some swelling which was normal and expected. Dr. Aniketh had mentioned some bruising could be expected too, but I had none at all.
My results are very natural, which is what I wanted. I did not want to look like I had work done. I am very happy with the results and I am thankful to Dr Aniketh for this. Like I said, he is an excellent surgeon from all aspects: as a person - intelligent, kind, gentle, understanding and of course very importantly as a doctor- having skilled hands! I would definitely recommend him!
