5 years and the nightmare doesn’t end.

Since I’ve posted my results only got worse.
I hope to warn other women. The North Carolina Medical Board issued him a public letter of concern Feb 25, 2026
Two girls also died end of 2025. They did not make it through their surgeries.
In my real self review I’ve stressed to be careful and do your research.

Now Awful

Now- 3 years after my skin and face droops. I was told by facial surgeons he overfilled my face and put the fat in the wrong areas a causing too much weight in the middle of the face. I’ve consulted with many and told them what happened. They all are shocked Bednar even put fat in my beautiful face. 51ccs is way too much. Ruined my natural beauty.

Sorry this happened to you. It does indeed weigh down the face. Have you spoken to surgeons about possible solutions and can the fat be excised from the mid face?
I’ve been to so many surgeons to ask them what to do. There is a Dr in Shanghai. Dr Oceanz. He’s on Instagram. Look at his before and afters. But I’m not doing anything until I know for sure what to do.
Hey Robin I found this while googling ways to fix MY liposuction/FT horror story, but this one made me think of you so I hopped on here to share. I guess this guy specializes in facial plastic surgery and helped this lady out a lot after her fat transfer to face. Wishing you the best - you are not alone! https://www.newyorkfacialplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery-results/facelift/facial-fat-transfer-correction-facelift
Hi Robin,
Sorry to hear about your experience. Do you think that maybe the sagging is due to age as you are updating 3 years later? Have you tried skin tightening, like Morpheus?

Photos for reference

People have asked me for photos. This is me before I went to Bednar for my breasts and woke up to my face and entire body changed without ever meeting the guy. I was charged $ AFTER I was given a pill that drugged me up. Im determined to share my truths. He called and said things like this happen. “ think about it like this, I saved you from having to have a facelift in the future” exact words

Eventually I’ll post pictures of the dents from the lipo in my hips and my breasts where the fat didn’t stay anyway.
Geez I'm confused! You were getting an explant only? And had not given permission or wanted a fat transfer? Yikes! It's hard to tell from your photos, but I don't think you look much different and I certainly don't think you look all as bad as you think you do.
I explanted 6 months prior by Dr Feng.
I went to Bednar to get fat transfer to fill in the issues from explanting and hopefully have a fuller breast again.
That was it.
I never met Bednar before the surgery for my pre op like I was told would happen.
By the time Bednar came in according to HIS medical records it was over an hour after I was given meds. I was passed out still in the regular exam room. Turned out to be an opioid.

My face is very different. Hard to see but I have other photos of now that trigger my trauma. I just can’t look at them. I walk past mirrors now and purposely do not look.
Flips me out still.
It’s not that I look horrible. I look different than what GOD gave me. What I loved. And he had NO right to touch me at all. He should have given me the opportunity and courtesy of going over the entire plan of what was going to happen. So everyone was on the same page.

Instead he chose to hang out with my fiancé who was famous.


And NO. I never wanted fat transfer to my face. I loved my face.
