I recently had a fat transfer procedure under and around my eyes. I have always had a sunken in look under my eyes. Right after surgery I was pleased with how smooth my eyes looked. However now 11 days after, my cheeks are fat (chipmunk”ish”) which is making my under eye area look even more sunken in than before. Do fat transfers tend to blend well? How long does swelling take and when does the fat transfer more or less set in?

Answer: Fat grafting results take 6 months to show
Fat transfer to those areas cost $4500 with all charges included. Experience is paramount which we offer over 35 years of combined experience being first center in US to do Liposuction
If your podiatrist determines that lack of padding is the cause of the pain then fat injections may help. A trial of a short-acting filler such as Juvederm or Restylane may help in figuring out whether fat injections may help
This is becoming a very popular surgery. Without meeting you, I cannot say how much fat we can transfer. Based on your photos, it appears that we could take some fat from the abdominal area, inner, outer thighs, and knees. I would hope to transfer 600 cc to 800...
