Could cheek lipo reverse an over-filled (botched) fat transfer?

April 13, 2018
Asked By:jayholliss in Sweeny Tx

I had a fat transfer to my cheeks back in 2014. It's 2018 and my face still looks bloated. I want this corrected so I can move on with my life. I've turned into a recluse since the procedure. I've had quite a journey trying to make the transferred fat less noticeable over the years. I had cheek implants put in and taken out under local anesthesia (which I swear gave me PTSD). I've had jaw implants put in. (Which I am satisfied with). But my cheeks still bulge out.

I have been injecting heels for a long time now, silicone works best but is off-label and permanent so any issues can be life long.  Bellafill or radiesse can work as well but will need to be repeated.  Please see an expert, this is done by some podiatrists as well but rarely.  I do this fr...
