Fat Transfer (long term, what to expect):Hello, I am currently considering facial fat transfer and have already meet with a handful of surgeons who are skilled and experienced. However, as I do more research on people's personal experience with fat grafts I'm noticing some develop lumps & bumps over time. What causes that? Also how does a fat graft age? I am very active (HITT workouts and weight training daily) and I am concerned about how a fat graft will age for my active body type. I appreciate any insight! Thank you!
I had a fat grafting to my cheeks a 1,5 y. ago, 50ml. After it my cheeks were huge. Later I lost some volume in the middle of my cheeks. But I still have excessive volume on the sides of my mouth and below. I also still have excessive volume along my nasolabial folds. My Dr says those are areas where a cannula hit the most, i.e. they were traumatized. I had ultrasound check by another Dr, he says there is no scars, fibrosis, etc, that it is a fat tissue - and it looked like it retains a liquid.
I did fat transfer, but even now that has passed 2 years I still feel the under eyes area swollen and hard with uneven bumps. What can I do now? What do you thing it happened? I feel like I aged with the marks tha it gave to my face now...
What can I do to get rid of the fat bumps on my forehead? Is there any type of procedure that will smooth out my forehead? It has been 1 1/2 yrs since the fat injections. I had Botox twice since the procedure which did not help the fat bumps. I am 60yrs old. I will not go back to my physician and I live in Scottsdale, AZ Thank you all for your recommendations and advice!
I have not so noticeable lumps in my cheeks & jawline from a fat transfer done 4 yrs ago. The lumps are more annoying to me in my mouth with slight contouring issues. The doctor has been injecting steroids to break up the lumps but the last injection left me with small indent in my cheek which is filling in now but I am nervous to proceed with steroid injections. Will Ultherapy work to smooth out lumps, break them up and help with minor contouring issues? What is the best laser?
2003, I received fat injections into my tear troughs, Resulting in hard lumps and bumps that settled above the tear trough!Doctors at first said WAIT. I then re-visted doctors in Ny and Pa in 2010 for help. No one wanted to touch me. I need help and a solution with someone who has successfully dealt with a situation like mine. I also have redness and broken capillaries in this areas/really cubby cheeks on a mouse face- LOL accentuating the area more. Overhead lighting is horrible on my lumps.
Yesterday I had fat transfer and threading. I am so swollen and my face looks distorted and there are bumps on each side of my face. I have been searching the internet havent seen anything that looks close. I have a wedding in 29 days (thats why I did this) . Im so scared my face wont look right.
Hello, i had my lips done 15 yrs ago with artecol. The bottom lip is fine. The top lip has 2 small bump on the left and fairly noticeable bump on the right that has fairly strong vertical crease along it (looks like a dent). Can fat grafting be used to correct this. I prefer longer term solutions opposed to 3-4 month ones. Travel is something would consider to get this fixed up.
How do I get the look in these photos? My eyelids used to be a lot fuller, but now they look more sunken in. I know this feature is critical for a youthful, well-rested appearance. I'm looking for something more permanent, though I've been warned that fat grafting around the eyes can leave ugly fat necrosis bumps that are difficult to remove. I also want to get rid of the dark pigmentation of the upper eyelid. Please help. Thanks!
I had a fat transfer to my nasolabial folds 2 weeks ago. I noticed it felt bumpy after the procedure and was told that this is normal. It still feels bumpy 2 weeks later and those areas are hard and noticable when I make certain facial expressions. Will these obvious bumps disappear over time?
