I LOVE MY RESULTS FROM ATHENIX

WORTH IT$5,000
I am so happy with my results. I finally posted a before and after picture. It is such a dramatic change, it is more noticeable in person. The fat stayed!! It is permanent. Dr. Bullis at Athenix did such a good job. I recommend you go there because it is half the price, but they are very professional. Dr. Bullis is very honest and he doesn't want to ever sell me anything. He is just there to give you the results you want to have. I finally do not look like a Alien. My hollow cheeks and jawline made my face look very abnormally long and sharp. I look normal now and my face does not look long now. Please ask me if you have any questions. Thank you

Hi I'm Estrellita we have same problem, I read your comments, I'm Asian too but got more kids than you have 3 kids youngest just a year old, I had a question, I'm really planning to do facial fat graffiting but the problem is it expensive can I afford and how long they last?

You know, it is totally worth it. I see you are in florida so the price may differ but I got it for really cheap it was about I think 4.5k for my first treatment and then my second for 1.5k. It is really cheap because I looked around a lot and the other doctors were telling me I would have to make 8k+. They do have financing available which I would advise you to do. Usually doctors have this deal where if you pay it off in 18 or 12 months then there will be no interest. The treatment is suppose to be permanent. What ever stays after 3 months after the surgery is usually what is going to stay. but I advise you that you will have to get more than 1 if you severe case. I also think you might need more maybe 10years or 15 years from now because as you know we are aging :( so things will change. Good luck

Hi. Your photo looks amazing. Could you post a pic of your face straight on and not smiling so I can compare the results better? Where exactly did they place the fat apart from the cheeks, was it all along the jaw line? Your jaw looks wider and a much better shape but I can't see if that is just the photo angle, would you say your jaw looks wider at the back? How many cc to the jaw area each time? Congrats on your lovely result.

Hi I'm looking into fat transfer myself. I was wondering did your fat transfer results come out symmetrical and did you have fat put into your lower cheeks as well along the jaw line? If so what would you say your retention rate was? Was there a lot of reabsoration after the transfer? Thanks so much for your time.

Great transformation, how long do you the fat would last? and doesn't it affect the natural aging process of the face? how old where you when you had the fat graft done?

It has been 2 years and I still have the fat !!! Fat grafting actually makes you look younger.. because it is your own fat. I was 27 for my first fat transfer.. now I am 29!!

ATHENIX BELLEVUE, WASHINGTON - FAT TRANSFER TO CHEEKS & JAW

Sorry for the late update. I have to tell you that so much has changed. I had another fat transfer to my cheeks over 3 months ago, and I have to tell you I am pretty impressed. I think that Dr. Bullis and I had a misunderstanding, but everything worked out and I am very pleased with my results.

I had buccal fat removal years ago... and regret the day that I had that done. and

i got fat pad removed a year ago and i regret the day i did that can you please help me with the solution you did im am bearly 29 years old and want to be happy?

I know. I don't think any body under the age of 40 should get buccal fat removal done. I had it done when I was around 20 years old. Well.... after I had a baby, all my baby fat in my face went away and I started to look very very gaunt and long. Where do you live? Do you live in WA? if you do.. you should go to Athenix. They are affordable and good. My fat transfer looks so natural and it stuck and it's not like a filler... its permanent. It's a very simple procedure , which you are only under local anesthesia not general... so you see the who procedure but you don't feel anything. please contact me if you have any other quesitons. I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!!

Did you have to pay again? I had fat transfer 1 month ago and my tear troughs look just as sunken as before surgery. Were they able to do your touch up with local anesthesia? I'm sooo sad this didn't work.
December 13, 2014
You would probably have to pay again, but fraction of the price . I would call the doctor and tell him your situation. He MAY just have you just pay for the VAPoR Lipo fee... which is $500. I would strongly urge you to call him and try to work something out because my first one was unsucessful too... I think we just had a misunderstanding.. but this time it worked. I feel like my old self again. ALSO, when you get the fat transfer, make sure to not eat hard foods or use your jaw too much for five days after the procedure. Hope it works out... I totally feel you.
December 13, 2014
Thank you. I'm glad that you got the results you were hoping for. I contacted my doctors office yesterday and sent pictures as requested. The coordinator called me back and although she was very sympathetic, she said that they looked at my pre photos for comparison and feel that I look better? What?! They will re-evaluate at my next visit in 3 weeks. : (

You lucked out! I am warning people not to use ATHENIX! The doctors come and go and mine was gone 8 weeks after my revision and now they are offering me another revision! Who has 3 lipos on the same areas!? My goodness.....If you can't get it the second time what in the world is suppose to make me think it can be done a 3rd time? And the doctor talked me into getting my stomach done and loosened the lower part of my stomach causing me to need a tummy tuck and she went into my armpit instead of the back bra fat and loosened that skin as well needing it to be cut and sewn instead of lipo now, the rest of the body is just fat pushed around with a canula that the doctor did not know how to use and is now clumpy fat areas with not real results except a shameful outcome! $14,000.00 later! I think their doctors are practicing before they get their own practice. Think about it....their pictures are generic, no one doctor in their office can take credit for the pictures! And when they say they will do the revision for free, they come back to the room with a form for you to sign showing you your new total that you will owe them for the operating room and the twilight sleep meds! So its another $2000 plus with no outcome! My before pictures look so much better than after!

Fat Transfer / Fat Grafting Athenix Bellevue, WA

hannalee86
Hello, I am now 2 weeks in recovery from my fat transfer done on the 10th of June. I wanted to post this review and let you know that I got a email and a call from Athenix, which was a suprise. They wanted to let me know that they heard that I was having some concerns about my recent fat transfer. I told them my story, which was that there was no fat transfered into the area that I really needed the most. They assured me that they would help me find a solution to this problem. I have not gotten any promises yet, but I am in hope that they will help me get a satisfied result. I will keep you updated on this issue. Thank you for contacting me about your questions with fat transfer I hope that I can be of some help :)
