I had fat grafting surgery in 2014 with Dr. Michael Law and I was very happy with the result, so I decided to get a second fat grafting surgery in August 2016. My face is very thin and has a low volume of fat, which caused me to look tired and old. Many people asked me if I was sick. I researched facial fillers and found about the fat grafting technique from a Korean website. Fat grafting is permanent and lasts longer than filler and it has been popular for facial rejuvenation in Asia for many years. I did research to find the best doctor who is performing fat grafting in USA. I am lucky that I live in North Carolina since Dr. Law's office is in Raleigh, NC. I saw tons of the before and after pictures of fat grafting at Dr. Law's official website. Those pictures gave me the confidence to decided on fat grafting with Dr. Law. The staff of the surgery center were very nice and they made me feel comfortable. Dr. Law put fat into my forehead, eyebrow area, temple, upper eyelid area, cheeks and nasolabial folds. The surgery was a success and now I look more healthy and youthful. . . and nobody has noticed I had a cosmetic procedure because it looks VERY natural. The lines on my forehead have been reduced and my sunken upper eyelid area has restored volume. I look much younger than my age. (I'm over 40 years old now ). Thanks to Dr. Law who is very kind and conscientious. I think his fat grafting skill is the TOP among surgeons and I would love to come back to his office again. There are many doctors who do fat grafting or fat transfer but I think it is important to meet with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who has many years of experience. I highly recommend Dr. Michael Law for your natural, youthful face. Updated on 23 Jan 2017: I can't show my whole face, but uploaded the area of fat grafting Updated on 23 Jan 2017: I was asked to uploaded my before and after photos, so I decided to upload. I am sorry I can't show my whole face, but hope this might be helpful...... It passed 5 months after surgery, but it still remains volumes. My upper eyes still has volume also. My upper eyes used to be shrunk and saggy, but now my eyes look younger with proper volume with fat. I didn't want temporary filler like hyaluronic acid?because it will be absorbed quickly within 3-6 months, but fat remains longer or permanently. My forehead is still in good shape. And people keep telling me I am getting pretty....
I did research before I decided at age 55 to have a facelift. Having been in the medical field, not just anyone was putting a knife to my face. There are a number of plastic surgeons in our area, and some are less expensive, however "you get what you pay for". My plastic surgeon as far as I'm concerned is the very best. The actual recovery time was about 2-3 weeks before I felt comfortable going out in public, however since we work out of our home that was not a problem for me. My surgeon and his staff are the most caring and professional you will ever find. The facility is nationally known and we couldn't be prouder to have them in our area. 3 years later I am still getting comments such as, last night when a gentleman told me twice in less than 5 seconds that I looked great and no, he wasn't hitting on me!!! Remember, plastic surgery should look natural, and the only way people know that I have had anything done is when I choose to tell them. Anyone considering surgery should talk to past patients and see before and after pictures if they are willing to share, I know I am!
I had facial fat transfer with Blue Water Spa (BWS). I am relatively not bad looking but early sign of aging with facial dimples, folds and hollows starting showing up. BWS requested EKG, blood work, urine test, Covid vaccine/Antibodies/Antigens, cardiac clearance etc to fulfill their requirements. From staff to nurses were all great to work with. However with such a great effort for the surgery, the surgeon could not deliver the results of facial fat transfer. He did not perform exam on the only appointment for presurgical evaluation, busy spending time on his photos of my face, saying that we’ll mark surgical areas before surgery. Before surgery when he was marking on my face I told him what I want him to pay attention to and he didn’t make any response. Immediately coming back from operation, I saw my both cheek hollows were still hollowed. All of the areas of fat injection were not filled up after 6-7 weeks when swollen totally fade. I looked exactly the same as before. He said that was because my skin wanted to stay that way. He filled up 10 ml total fat. No wonder making me thinking of he didn’t evaluate me, not even my photos and didn’t care about. Everywhere was filled up a thin layer of fat which not make you look bad and NOT good either. If you look for facial fat transfer their website says “hundreds of before and after photos, the pictures speak themselves”. This is a joke to me.
I went to blue water to see if I can find a solution to my dark circles and hollowness. I already tried PRF with them and seen now results.Dr smit suggested I get a under eye fat graft and micro fat graft at the same time.I asked her we’re she sure I needed both because I was just going to get the micro and she said yes because of the volume lost.So I went ahead and got it and my cheeks and side of my face is swollen and one side is significantly bigger then the other.I really hope that she did not place fat on the side of my face and my cheeks because I did not request that.I’m really annoyed because after the surgery I was not expecting my face to look like this at all for a under eye fat graft and micro fat graft I’m really hoping this goes down and I get my face back because this is not what I requested. Somebody tell me is this normal for my cheeks and side of my face to be swollen like this and one side bigger than the other.It’s been 8 weeks now and when I went back for a check up a month later I told the nurse I was concerned and she said give it at least 3 months.I’m trying to be patient I’m just tired of hiding my face and I pray that this is not permanent.
