Persistent scarring after nano fat transfer below eyes, is it permanent? (photo)

Question

I had a procedure called nano fat cell transfer below my eyes+regular fat transfer to my cheeks. I developed bruising below the eye area after the procedure. Doc reassured me that it will resolve within 2 weeks&did medlite laser.The fat transfer on my face also seem to be not equal( 9 cc of fat on each cheek) He told me that the take of fat transfer alone is only 30%.Concerns; 1) the darkening under my eyes, permanent? 3) the fat transfer to cheek,how long will it take to see the final outcome?

Yes, the bruise under the eyes will eventually resolve and it will take 3-6 months to see your final results with your fat transfer. I recommend adding prp and sculptra injections to help maintain results. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

It's far too early to tell anything now. The bruising will go away and eventually you will be able to see your final contour. The face is not symmetric before surgery and will not be symmetric after. It is a mistake to chase symmetry.
