I have had undereye filler and then I have had it dissolved. I now look like my own older sister and my self esteem has suffered significantly. What can I do to get my old face back? Should I get facial fat transfer ?

It has been our experience in over 25 years of use of fat grafts for periorbital rejuvenation that graft take is around 30% in average. This means also that fat grafts do not take equally in all areas. Secondary grafting is done in probably 20-30% of patients 8-12 months after first procedure....

Fat grafting using micro and nano fat grafts would be my choice in your situation. Considering that fat graft survival is unpredictable (around 30% in average in periorbital-cheek areas) it is possible that you may need a second round of grafting 8-12 months later. Hope this helps.
