Fat graft to jawline and face? (Photo)

Question

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.

To start with we need to know how long ago your procedure was done.
We do not make assessments based on dynamic pictures.
We need a complete set of proper taken before and after pictures.
If you don’t have a proper set of before, and after pictures, the ask your surgeon to forward the pictures they took.
 we don’t make assessments when patients are contracting muscle of facial expression. Pictures need to be taken with the same lighting from the same angles.
Follow up with your provider if you’re unhappy with the outcome.
If you’re thinking about trying some type of revision work, then start the process of having in person consultations with other plastic surgeons in your community regarding what day they can do to improve your outcome.
I generally recommend people avoid facial fat grafting because the procedure is inherently unpredictable, imprecise And unforgiving if people don’t like the outcome.
This type of work is also inherently difficult. Simply the ability to know exactly where to add volume in someone’s face isn’t kids Play.
How many before and after pictures of previous patients from this provider, did you review Before scheduling for surgery during your in person consultation?Before plastic surgeons give as surgical recommendation we generally need to make a quality assessment and equality assessment should be based on quality information.
Your post does not allow us to begin making an assessment.
Best,
