I would like to know how much of the grafted fat survives by the end of fourth week and sixth week? Particularly upper eyelid area on average? I mean is there too much volume difference between first and third month(which is typically considered as final result)? Or most of the swelling and fat absorption should have been subsided by the end of first month? Thank you.
In February I had a bichectomy and I didn't like it. I want to do facial lipofilling to be like before, but I wanted to know how likely it is that when the fat is reabsorbed it will remain asymmetrical on the face and need a touch-up (to put more fat in my face again). Thank for reading me.
Hi Doctors, I had a total 40cc of fat grafted to my face 1 month ago. It was 10-15cc on each cheek blended with surroundings (in his words), 2-3cc on nasolabial fold, 1cc on the mouth corner, the rest on temples and forehead. My cheeks are fuller than what I want, and my jaw is squarish right now although the doctor didn't put any fat there. My question is, will this continue improving? How much more fat will be absorbed by the body and how can I know if all the swells are gone? Thank you!
During the discussion doctor said over all i need 20ml fat bt he transfered 30ml left side n 20 ml right side. fat ws nt spinned bt used gravity proccedure to seperated the fluid. he said fat ws grafted in 2 layers. inside the muscle and on the tissue bed to retain more fat. its been 7 days stil i look the same as on first day. no absorption. Is this normal? i m worried. chin liposuction ws akso done.my doctor is also a plastic surgery professor in a government institute.
6 months ago, I had: 1) Fat graft all over face to fill hollowness around eyes and cheeks and 2) Thread lift for slightly sagging jowls w/ 8 threads each side. I think 30-40% of the fat has been absorbed. Soon after fat graft, pockets of fat appeared on each side of mouth which reduced with time. Now, left chin is indented slightly--that's the side I sleep on sometimes--and there are lines & lumps near both sides of my mouth. Plus, skin near mouth looks slightly lumpy. What is the best fix?
i want to have fat transfer to my lips to make them much fuller but i am not sure if it is worth it. how much of the fat will survive the transplant? how much fat will remain after the body absorbs the fat?
I had fat transferred to my lips a couple of days ago, and they're great! They have obviously been overfilled to prepare for fat absorption, and I am expecting them to go way down, but is there anything I can do or avoid doing that may encourage the fat to remain? Does eating/talking/kissing affect the results, or is it just completely up to my body? Thanks!
I had fat graft to my lower eyelid area and to my lips 10 days ago. I have a small bump under one eye and one on my upper lip as well as a hard ridge along my upper lip. The PS told me that I could massage the lump under my eye. I have been massaging all the lumps continually and I think they are reducing. I am wondering if I am killing the fat. I thought that I should get on it before the lump settles/hardens if that makes any sense Might I have done damage to the fat or should I keep massaging?
Once the injected fat dissipates, will the skin then sag? It stands to reason that delicate facial skin can remain stretched out after the injections are reabsorbed. Typically, what percentage of the transferred fat will remain permanently?
