I Have Had Fat Grafts to My Cheeks 5 Months Ago. I'm Overstuffed and Uneven. What Can I Do?

December 16, 2010
Asked By:annishka in Natal

Will microliposuction remove part of graft or is the grafted fat too fibrous to do liposuction evenly and not damage and intrude on rest of my face?. what about lipo dissolve? . My surgeon has suggested I choose between these 2 options. I am over 50 and my skin elasticity is very bad . I am worried that more swelling repeatedly will stretch skin and i will end up worse than before all this . my surgeon does not want to use steroid injections which is what i would like to try.
