@Schmie (re update on 09/01/2012). Thank you for your info. It has been very helpful. And you look wonderful both before and after.

In life you can never make everyone happy, so just make yourself happy ;o) Happy new year to you too, I look forward to your vids on youtube. Poca x

You look amazing after your surgery. Thank you for sharing your story.

Hello Schmie! I am looking into doing fat transfer under my eyes due to loss of volume from a lower eyelid blepharoplasty, removal of my bags under my eyes. My under eyes are flat, and a bit sunken in and I have more wrinkles too and I'm only 27 years and I look older now. I was looking towards Dr. Cruise and I'm sure you heard of him since your on Real self a lot. =) How long has it been post op? Has your fat remained in place or absorbed away? I keep reading horror stories and that fat transfers does not last long etc. And I got quoted 3500 and thats a hefty fee alone. I need some guidances. Help please! =)

Hi bunni

 

I had a fat transfer along with a face lift and temple list with Dr. Cruise in November 09.  I was so happy with the results that I no longer thought that I was too old to have a breast augmentation. So I went back to Dr. Cruise in April 2010 for a breast augmentation.  I really love these results.   I am thin so I went back to Dr. Cruise for a second stage fat transfer to just add a little fat around my temples (where bone was showing) and in my forehead and just a little more in my cheekc.  The results were subtle, but I am pleased.

 

When I run into people I haven't seen in a while they stop and look almost stare.  I can see their mind thinking.  They tell me I look really great. They then ask if I am doing my hair differently or if I have lost weight. They can tell something is different, but they can't figure it out because it looks natural.

 

I have had 3 surgeries with Dr. Cruise and I love the results from all 3.  He really is a skilled surgeon and a compassionate person. I can't recommend him highly enough. I my experience he is worth it.

 

No I don't work for Dr. Cruise....I am just a very please patient. 

 

Good luck!

You look so great.

I like your comment sharon, you are very genuine. People who are botched are not happy people, being bullied by at times, their own doctors, and some hateful people who are just too perfect themselves , i don't think it is fair to bash any doctor who honestly tried their best to make you happy, they are not God, and some people can never be satisfied, but in situations like mine, where the doctor's conduct and actions directly injured my face, i think i have every right to review him.
Thank you realself for letting me share my story. :)

I love your videos! They really do capture the ups and downs of recovery. I am 3 weeks post op with my rhino and hearing you complain about the congestion and throbbing made me feel better about my recovery. I had a deviated septum and my nose had to be broken and reset. The boggers were horrible! I had to/have to clean several times a day. I can't tell you how many Q-tips I went through! I also am just starting to feel "normal" again with the throbbing being gone. I also feel there is a lot of "junk" still in there although I am not sure if it just is the stitches. I originally found your post because I am thinking about fat grafting. I am much older than you and definitely have hallows under my eyes and could use a bunch of stuff injected into my nasal folds. Do you still feel that Juvederm may be a better choice?

Her swelling doesn't look half as bad as one other picture I've seen. Her face was literally like a balloon but on the after shots it went down 3/4.

The swelling is very bad the first few days, then it goes down gradually, :)

I was so taken aback by your post-op nose! I had more work done to my nose by Dr. Kuisle (Boulder, CO) and I NEVER experienced anything like you had to endure. I felt so badly for you. But I want you to know that you are beautiful and your nose is very pretty. Thank you for posting your experience for the rest of us. I want to get a fat transer for the same purpost as you, so it really helped me a lot to see the results. They are lovely. I hope you have fully healed and are doing well. Kind regards...
