I had fat transfer to cheeks and nasolabial folds . Dr. took fat from belly in office and then put it directly in face . He didn't harvest fat! I didn't know back then so I tought everithing was fine . Fat from nasolabialfolds moved , I went back and he says that is not the fat . I have sytmptoms of trimelgia neralgia that started 7 months ago . Can it be due to Dr. not harvesting the fat? Can I get rid of fat that moved and how. It looks horrible
