Is it possible for any fat grafting specialist to nearly guarantee that there will be no complications?

June 2, 2014

I'm interested in getting fat injections (on my face), but am very scared after reading countless horror stories from people that had it done. I know that there are complications that can arise with any type of plastic surgery, but is it at all possible for a PS to be almost certain that he/she will avoid causing lumps and bumps, skin necrosis, blindness and all the other cosmetic and functional complications that can come with fat injections? Or is it just an inherently unpredictable procedure?
