Can I get a Renuva treatment post fat graft? (Photo)

sara_waaDec 31, 2023
I have previously done fat grafting to my lower legs due to their skinny nature ( skinnier than they look on the picture) the procedures were very inefficient, I was swollen for the first week post surgery, after which, all the grafted fats were gone, I even suffer from skin discoloration now in the injected areas. Now I wonder if I there is any other options left for me, can I inject renuva to get some volume, is it okay to do so post fat grafting surgery?

It is not recommended to be in a caloric deficit in the next months after Renuva as it can impact your final outcome. Best of luck !

It appears that major deficiency is due to small cheek bones and malar hypoplasia. Considering all of that, cheek implants may be the best solution. Hope this helps.

Renuva is ideal for replacing fat loss anywhere in the body that naturally has fat, including the face. In your mid-twenties, you stop producing new fat cells — like you did when you were younger. If you are stressing and losing weight, that fat loss often shows on your face first....
