Dear, I have sunken under eyes. I hear about Nano fat grafting. In Belgium Dr. Tonnard work with Nano fat. Is it safe to do this treatment? Thank you

Nima Shemirani, MD · Answer

Dear Holland786,Nano grafting is likely a marketing word given to fat grafting under the eyesWe place face in a micro0droplet technique, meaning we fill the area little by littleYou should look at before and after pictures to see if Dr Tonnard can satisfy your expectationsAnother option for you may be Restylane, if you want something temporary (1-2 years)Best regards,Nima Shemirani

Hello,
Thanks for your question. We've had good results with nanofat injections layered over microfat injections to correct tear trough deformities. We have never had any problems with lumps or bumps. We do occasionally have to graft a second time once the fat settles in, but that isn't typically a concern for patients who are seeking quality results. Check out a patient of mine and her results at the link below.
Thanks,
Dr. Shah

Yeah, sounds great doesn't it?  Very precise and scientific, right?  Plainly stated don't waste your time and money.  I have never seen a decent result, but I've seen plenty of bad ones.  Lumps and bumps under the skin that won't go away and are very difficult to remove.  If you want to fly half way around the world for this, please save the money, hype and aggravation. A real loser if ever I saw one!

fat grafting is a very common procedure that depends on experience and technique. Nano fat grafting seems a marketing tool. We all use micro cannulas to harvest and inject the fat in the right planeSamir Shureih MD.FACSsshureih@msn.com

across the globe fat grafting to the face is performed frequently and effectively and safely. Nano fat grafting is more of a term then a unique procedure.  I can't tell you whether or not it is safe and based on your photograph U appeared to be relatively young with only a small area that needs improvement.  I would get much more detailed information about how this fat grafting is being performed.Chase Lay, MD
