I am so disappointed in the outcome of my facial fat transfer . My surgeon placed fat in areas that I never gave concent to and has now taken my slender v shaped face and created an oval chubby face. It’s brought me so much anxiety! I know fat is permanent and could even potentially puff up more after 18 months. What can I do? I’ve heard another facelift and manual removal may be the only option? Does the fat reduce over time, year after year as we age? That’s all I can hope for.
