Can lumpy skin from fat transfer be smoothed?

May 16, 2015
Asked By:Mel2008 in New York, NY

Thirteen years ago a doctor transferred fat into my face in effort to address acne scars. However it didn't really fix the scars (i think the fat is too deep) -- it just gave me a fatter face, and now it's rather lumpy. Is there anyway to fix this?
