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.
Had a consult with a Board Certified Facial surgeon who recommended a deep plane facelift and autologous fat transfer for eye hollows. I was told that they freeze extra fat and can do touch ups several times for up to 1 year. Does frozen fat remain viable and effective?
With a fat transfer to the face, some doctors go with the one and done approach and do one somewhat aggressive fat transfer with the idea that they will not have to do another touch up fat transfer in the future. Other doctors seem to like to do a less aggressive fat transfer the first time and then do a second touch up fat transfer anywhere from 3 mths to a year afterward (depending on the dr). Which approach is better?
5 september 2016 i had fat trasferred to my calves....last week i went for a touch up on 9 january 2017........its now been 10 days...one of my legs are so red i cannot sit because they hurt the only way i get some relief is when im laying down on bed. i am on antibiotics and cold compresser but it still swollen. Is this normal? feel stiff i know that is normal but the first time i didnt experience any pain only stiffness. i feel so uncomfortable when sitting and it hurts....cannot stand for long either.
Im in my 20s and want to do fat to under eyes, cheeks and smile lines. is it usual to do touchup after 6months? it seems like most of the time, touch up is needed. if so, does it matter if the fat injected for touch up is fresh or stored from the 1st session? which is likely to be most long lasting?
Hello, Had a full face fat graft about 5 weeks ago. Doctor built a nice foundation, but I see that i did not quite get the fullness that I wanted in certain areas. Looking to do a touch up at a little after 3 months from date of first procedure. Possibly 4 months. Is this too soon? Is there any harm in doing it at 3-4 months? thank you!
