I developed fat necrosis of the face after a fat transfer. How safe is Renuva or matrix to remodel the face? (Photo)

Fat necrosis in your face should be extremely rare. I am concerned about the technique that was used for your fat grafting. I would not like you to use a processed fat product that has no live cells in it. It would be better to use your own fat again done in a proper way to fix the problem.

I'm sorry to hear about the complications you've experienced with your surgical fat transfer. To answer your questions, Renuva is regulated by the FDA, has passed rigorous safety testing and is very safe – and it's an amazing treatment for replacing age-related volume loss in the face.
Your plastic surgeon is quite right to recommend delaying your Renuva treatment until your autoimmune disorder is no longer experiencing a flare-up. You might also want to discuss this with your rheumatologist.
I think you will be very happy with the results of your Renuva treatment, and another plus is that you can do the treatment in your doctor's office without the need for anesthesia or downtime.

Renuva undergoes rigorous safety testing, is regulated by the FDA, is very safe when injected into the face, and does not contribute to autoimmune flare ups. Your surgeon is right, though – you should definitely wait until your flare up subsides before getting a Renuva treatment.

One of the many benefits of Renuva is that it is an off-the-shelf treatment that can be injected in your doctor's office without the need for anesthesia.
