Can you use the Nu Skin device after fat grafting?

S
SandyGRMar 16, 2015

I have had fat grafting in my check bones and under my eyes (it is about 4 years old). I had it done by a plastic surgeon (Dr Ellenbogen). I would like to use the Nu Skin device for my jowl area. Will it effect my fat grafting by melting the fat if I do it along my jowl area, nasal folds, and forehead?

I suggest going to a facial contouring specialist for fat transfer as the results are long term and if not done properly and well you can get poor results.  Find an expert who uses PRP to get the ultimate results.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I add PRP to all my fat before injecting and this helps survival a lot.  I suggest avoiding pressure to the are and any heating procedures.  Local injections of PRP may be helpful and can be offered.  I suggest going to a well trained physician for treatment.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for submitting your question and photo. Your very early in your recovery from fat transfer to the lip. Swelling is assymetrical during the recovery phase.  Massage will help. Discuss your concerns with your Plastic Surgeon. Best wishes

Can massaging the skin when applying moisturizer damage fat grafts?

Massaging the face when applying moisturizers should not damage fat grafts placed underneath. It may help with lymphatic drainage. By the time that your face is no longer tender to touch, it will be perfectly safe to apply moisturizer.
