Fat transfer under eyes while on testosterone

E
eddythemeddyMay 26, 2018

Fat grafting basically transferring fat from ur belly to under your eyes as you may have lost collagen there. Some fat after the transfer gets disollved into the body. I am interested in doing this. I am also on testosterone replacement therapy. Do you think fat transfer would be pointless when on Testosterone as it is also a fat burner?
