I had facial fat transfer 7 months ago. The fat was injected very superficially, just under the skin. it was injected in long lines which feel tubular under the skin and approx 3mm wide. The grafts are firm but not hard. i realise now that this is very clumsy technique as surgeons who grat succesfully inject small aliquots on different layers. The grafts are in my brow and midface. Thankfully not too much fat was injected but i do want to remove it. I would rather have scars than this result. i know the brows can be removed via blepharoplasty but i think i would prefer the incision/scar under my brow if possible, can this be done? is the midface graft accesible without a full face lift or transconjuctival approach, since its so superficial? its very difficult to get photos of the midface, but the grafts run aling my tear trough to my lateral orbital bone
I had a deep plane face and neck lift with some fat grafting in the cheek area. I lost quite a bit of weight, which caused me to have very loose sagging skin, with a somewhat gaunt look, and hollow under eyes. When i was younger i had a very balanced and nice shape of face. Im worried that adding even a small amount of fat just to my cheek will change the contours and shape of my face, what reasons would fat be added just to the upper face? Can this still look natural? Thanks
Hello, I have moderate facial volume loss due to weight loss and I do not want to keep using syntheyic fillers. Is micro fat grafting reliable? I was told its 50/50 as far as if the fat will survive. I was interested in AlloClae but was told its more expensive than fat grafting and that its not for the face. Is micro fat grafting a waste of money or does most of whats injected stay? Is AlloClae not an option then?
I am 36 years old and noticing some drooping in my lower face. I would like a lip lift but I also wonder if buccal fat and fat transfer would improve the aesthetics of my face? Overwhelmed by options and not sure what would be best as many doctors are giving different opinions
i am a 45 year old female who has been through a stressful time and i feel like it has aged me significantly. my skin tone looks very uneven with lots of broken blood vessels in my face. is a face lift with fat transfer the best way to address sagging lower face and also the volume loss. would adding a co2 laser help with the fine lines? please advise.
I have used fillers in the past under my eyes and Im very discouraged because I got the Tyndall effect in the past. I already know that having an experienced injector is key but this was a board certified plastic surgeon who performed it so I thought I was safe. Nevertheless, I will never have it done again. I want to know if there is a possibility of the tyndall effect under eyes with fat injections/transfer. Thank you.
So the verdict is out that fillers are not the way to go because your body doesn't really absorb them, they just migrate to other parts of the face. What about with fillers using your own body fat and platelet rich plasma . I've heard that using these two together strengths and increase the amount of fat that survives, but does fat migrate does PRP migrate . It is from your own body so why would it . What is the 5-10 year appearance underneath it all for these procedures?
I used to have filler in my chin (about 4 ml) but it caused constant inflammation so i had to remove it. Will i be able to do fat grafting to the chin and be able to recieve somewhat similar results? i am fine with it looking softer, but i was wondering if u can actually shape the chin with fat grafting to make it a slight bit v shaped and add a little more projection.
