What are the nanofat long-term risks and can fat transfer anywhere else? (Photos)

Asked By:meVsme in McRae-Helena, Georgia

Hello, just got upper eyelid surgery done was planning to get low blepharoplasty as well, but my doctor said I have sunken in under eyes and not bags. Therefore I'm not a candidate. Dr said nanofat will be a better option which makes sense. My question is what are the long term risks? I see a lot of people & Doctors speak against it because of the lumps and other physical side effects. Can the fat transfer to anywhere else besides where it's placed? Just need some true clarity, thanks in advance
