Asked By:lavielavie in Madrid, Comunidad de Madrid, Spain
Hello! I got fat transfer to my cheeks and under eyes exactly a month ago today and my cheeks of healed well but after the swelling have one down I'm starting to see a very baggy and overfilled under eye. I attached a picture of how it looked when I was all swollen up. I am now aware that is not recommended to do fat under the eyes so I'm hoping for solutions, is it possible to fill the rest of my cheek up to conceal the bags? I would like a more fuller look anyways.
