Would skintyte be an option for skin tightening after cheek fat transfer?

Question

Had fat transfer to the cheek area over a year ago. Would the heat from skintyte negatively affect that result or potentially cause atrophy?

John J. Martin, Jr., MD · Answer

The deep heat of the laser is supposed to cause collagen contraction and stimulate new collagen growth.  But there is always a chance that it may also cause some fat atrophy.  The newly transferred fat may be more susceptible to this.  I would recommend doing any of these laser treatments before the fat transfer.

Terrence Murphy, MD · Answer

Skin tightening devices produce heat deep to the skin which can affect fat regardless of how it got there.  Fat shrinkage is a possibility.  Read the fine print of the consent for the procedure.  Give some consideration to a traditional lift as well.
