What can be done to fix poor fat transfers to cheeks? (Photo)

Question

In 2018, I had fat transfers done to my cheeks after being heavily persuaded by two surgeons, who were standing over me at the time, that I absolutely needed them. The results like the necklift he performed are horrific. what can be done to make them less like an odd hamster.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

It is impossible to make good conclusion about your current result when face is animated, like in your photos. In person conaulatation with a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in facial fat grafting would help.

Based on the single picture you’ve included, I can’t tell if you’ve had previous surgery. In order to make an assessment on the outcome of a plastic surgery procedure we always need to see proper before and after pictures. If you don’t have before and after pictures, then ask your surgeon to forward the pictures they took. They are part of your medical record, and you should be able to obtain them by requesting them.
You may as well ask for copies of your operating report while you’re at it because that may come in handy when getting a second opinion consultations.
We generally make facial assessments with individuals without facial expression. Obtain a set of proper before and after pictures and consider re-posting if you want a quality assessment. The information you provided is insufficient to make any type of assessment regarding the procedure you had.
Once fat is grafted in the face, it may or may not be possible to remove it. Revision surgery is more complex and difficult been primary procedures so the importance of provider selection it goes without saying.
Best,
