Hi There 15 months ago, I had some fat transferred, from my thigh and put into my cheeks and forehead.It was O.K, although every so often, my cheeks would become quite rosy,and i would experience tingling sensation.I would cover the "rosy glow",with a concealer,and after 3/4 days it would go away.This lasted on and off for a few months,and then stopped.Three months ago it returned with a vengance. My forehead,and down the sides of my face are the worst,I have moisturized,but to no effect, Panic !

Windell C. Davis-Boutte, MD (license suspended) says:
Yes, fat transfer can successfully be used to replenish certain areas of fat deficit. I would suggest for best result, allow the scar tissue from the previous liposuction to soften and resolve for at least 6 months after SmartLipo for better outcome.
Is there a difference between preop and postop? I think that maybe there is. Fat grafting is technique dependent, and you may need more transferred or more transfers. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs fat transfers hundreds of times...
