Revision of fat transfer around outer eye and upper cheek, changing cheek projection? (Photo)

Hello,

Thank you for your question and for providing your photos. Based on your description and the images, it seems like you are experiencing some dissatisfaction with the bulging around your upper cheek and outer eye following your fat transfer procedure.

To address your concerns and help you return to a facial appearance closer to your previous identity, here are a few potential options you might consider:

Consultation with a Board-Certified Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon: Since the issue involves the mid-face area, including the cheeks and eyes, a specialist in dermatology or plastic surgery would be well-equipped to assess the situation comprehensively. They can provide a tailored treatment plan based on a thorough examination.

Non-Surgical Options:

Injectable Treatments: Fillers can sometimes be used to contour and balance the facial areas affected by the fat transfer. An experienced injector can strategically place fillers to help achieve a more harmonious appearance.
Radiofrequency or Ultrasound Therapy: Non-invasive treatments like Ultherapy or Thermage can help tighten and smooth the skin, potentially reducing the appearance of bulging.

Surgical Options:

Liposuction: If the bulging is due to excess fat, a minor liposuction procedure might be considered to sculpt the area more precisely.
Fat Dissolving Injections: In some cases, injections like Kybella (deoxycholic acid) can be used to dissolve small pockets of fat, though this is more commonly used in areas like the chin.

Ocular Specialist Consultation: If the bulging significantly affects your eye area, an ocular or oculoplastic specialist might be necessary. They can address any issues related to the delicate tissues around the eyes and provide specialized care if needed.

It’s essential to have a thorough consultation with a qualified specialist who can assess your specific situation and recommend the best course of action. They will consider your medical history, the specifics of your previous procedure, and your aesthetic goals.

Please remember to seek a board-certified professional with experience in facial fat transfer revisions to ensure the best possible outcome.

Wishing you the best in your journey to achieve your desired facial appearance.
