Can I still go for forehead implant if I previously had fat graft to my forehead which became infected?

November 6, 2021
Asked By:Janicephoon

In 2014 I had fat graft to my forehead which later on was infected with mycobacteria Non tuberculosis. The treatment of draining combining with antibiotic went on for 1.5 years which resulted with scar tissues beneath the skin where the drainage was. I waited 1 year plus for the scar to settle before having Juvederm fillers. It’s been 4 years & it’s barely even. I’m depressed and feel like a freak. Hoping to find a permanent solution such as forehead implant. Is it possible?

Fat transfer to face can fill more than lift, as seen in your case. I might recommend a mini FL/NL c SMAS plication and additional fat transfer. Fees in $20,000 ranges.

Tim Neavin, MD says:

Thank you for your photos. By any chance that you have any radiofrequency done to your face? That generally melts fat and I often see patients who look older after radiofrequency due to the effects of lipoatrophy. Asymmetries can be improved with fat transfer. Please make sure he see someone...
