Sorry guys for not updating more regularly. I really wish this site had an app!
In any event, the fat transfer to me was a bust. He says it gave me a base for the fillers *rolling my eyes. I've been back twice to have filler injections. Once in August and when I left I knew he hadn't put enough under my left eye. That's the deepest inset. It was fine for the most part but I still wasn't happy. I went back in Nov and he practically put a whole syringe in under just that one. It's much better now but sheesh, my body must soak that stuff up cause it's only been about a month and it's starting to look hollow again. Anyways, looks like I'll be doing the filter maybe once a year. My SD card got corrupted so I don't have the pics from right after but here's what I look like now.
Take care!

Love the result. Cheeks are a smidge numb still but much improvement. Still numb and can't move my top lip but that's from the rhino. A bit of the fat has dissolved but that's ok. Doesn't look a tight as it did and that's better. Still bruised under my eyes but getting better and easily covered with make-up.

Are you still satisfied with fat transfer to under area? Do you know how many cc's he placed under each eye.? You look very natural and beautiful...I'm glad you did not go for more treatments...I am currently recovering from same procedure...I have a lot more swelling than you did? I'm not going to do this again.

I just had a procedure to remove the fat. Wish me luck. I am still swollen and bruised but I think it worked. Just a few small scars...

Also it helps to think positive and envision the results you want to achieve...and pray...

Hi there
No I'm not satisfied. The fat all went away. It could have been worst though. Are you happy with it?

It's been a week and I'm doing well. I don't think I realized that I would be so swollen and numb for so long but when I think about it, he did shove a cannula in my cheeks to inject the fat so duh. Still black and blue but I love it. Hope must of it stays.

Love your result. My surgeon "experimented" on me. I had not wanted fat injections, but he did them under my eyes! Lumps everywhere. They told me the would re-absorb in about 6 months. They did not. I look horrible! I used to be an eye model in my youth. I have gone for 3 consults. Nobody knows how to correct it. They says surgery might make it worse. I hardly socialize now and work from home as much as I can. I suppose it is vain, but it was a big change. I think I am still in denial...If anyone knows a specialist in removing it anywhere in the US, I will travel to fix this....

Have a consult with my Dr and see what he says. He does a lot of revisions. He'll do a Skype consult if you're not in the area.

I had the same bad experience as nic_s. After many consults, most advise to leave "as is" because surgery will make it worse...it may create scarring or cause the skin to adhere to the cheekbone...I am so depressed. It used to be I could not get through a week without someone telling how beautiful my eyes were....now they just ask me what happened to my eyes. The horrible part is that I declined this service and the surgeon did it anyway after a lipo....

I just went through the same experience and feel the same. It's been a month. I have new problems now and I look older. I'm searching for a doctor who might be able to correct this. I have one on mind who filled the area under my eyes 6 years ago and everything went well. After seeing some doctor on TV show some selective pics, I opted to go with him and am alive to regret. I feel hopeful that this can be repaired. Please tell me about you...
