Botched facial fat grafting - what should I do? (Photo)

Sorry but the posted photos really do not demonstrate much. Best virtual or in person consults. KyBella diluted dissolving of areas of grafted fat can be discussed.

Treating fat loss after radio frequency treatment is not an interviewable position.

It is a very challenging procedure that is never going to restore someone exactly the way they were prior to the incident that caused the fat loss.

Grafting fat is by its very nature unpredictable fickle imprecise and can be unforgiving.

Fat grafted survives based on the abundance or lack there of of host tissue and the thickness of soft tissue to graft into varies hugely in the face over olny short distances.

For example below the lower eyelids the soft tissue thickness may only be 2 mm and adjacent in the cheek it can be 12 mm.

It’s best done with conservative grafting gradually building up the tissue overtime waiting at least six months between treatments.

These are very difficult procedures.

Best,
