Hello and thank you for your question. Thebest advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. Based onyour photograph, you may be a candidate for filler or fat grafting under the eyes. Cost varies based on geographic region and surgeon expertise. Make sure you specifically lookat before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgeryperformed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The mostimportant aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with.

Dear amin2010,the cost of surgery depends on a lot of factors (type of surgery, number of treated areas, anesthesia fee, surgeon, facility fee, city, etc.).

So I honestly don't believe that Fat Transfer to the lips is the best procedure for you. Fat is such a wonderful material and can be used so many places to augment breasts and buttocks, rejuvenate hands and genitalia, and enhance a woman's natural curvy figure. But it is not my personal fi...
Unfortunately you have a difficult problem with no easy resolution. The hard lumps are fat necrosis and scar, and I have had some success with repeated needling of the area to break up the scar combined with dilute steroid placed into the area at the same time. For severe cases I have had to r...
Dear Xt0822,Thank you for your question and sharing your photographs. From the photograph, it appears that you have a hematoma (blood clot) over your upper eyelid. This is a potential complication which can happen. You will recover with time but you will need to ensure that you get urgent...
