Fat transfer gone wrong: I am desperate to have an overfillled face (fat transfer to face) fixed. (Photos)

November 26, 2017
Asked By:KristiReeAZ in Wichita, KS

I have now seen two different doctors say that if the fat grafting to the face was done over two years ago, it is too late for any sort of removal. Is that true? If so, I'm screwed because mine was done over three years ago. I just haven't had the money yet to fix it. The fat I need removed is in my cheeks, nasal folds and above my upper lip. Is it really too late for me because this much time as passed?
