I hate my fat transfer! Can it be reversed? (Photo)

October 15, 2017
Asked By:gdanyell in Newport Beach, CA

I wanted a stronger jawline and to correct my jowls - I was told that fat grafting would fix my problem areas. Some how the surgeon and I got off the subject of jowls and we ended up putting fat into my cheeks, chin and jawline & now my problem areas have been enhanced with fat. I still have sagging cheeks and now my jowls are more apparent! The pre surgery photo is being held undernieth my post surgery face. Notice how round and masculine I am now. My surgery was March 2017.
