Best Way to Get Rid of Nasolabial Fold Lump from Fat Transfer? (photo)

June 14, 2012
Asked By:UnluckyInIowa in Fairfax

I went to a board certified plastic surgeon for treatment of a traumatic facial wound. He said a "stem cell fat transfer" would prevent any scarring. Over a year later, I'm left with severe scarring and a lump in my nasolabial fold. The doctor now wants to melt the fat with a laser and liposuction out the lump. Is this really the best way? I read the best way is to make an incision inside my mouth and cut the lump out. Can you recommend a doctor in the Midwest to remove this lump? I will travel.
