Will microdermabrasion diminish the effects of a facial fat transfer?

May 28, 2014
Asked By:B.rianna

In May of 2013 I had a fat transfer procedure to enhance my cheeks. I have loved the results until recently. It is exactly a year later and it seems as though my cheeks are not as full. I have had 3 microdermabrasion treatments over the last two months and wondering if this is causing the injected fat to dissolve/diminish. I was also considering a chemical peel but now wondering if that would have an adverse effect. Any input would be welcome!
