6 years since my facial fat transfer

I saw some guy post that he was happy with his results - but no pictures?
Here's mine as of almost now 6 years since my facial fat transfer by Dr. Sadi Erfani in San Diego. Know that I am 30 pounds heavier since my girl does not care how I look (and neither do I). But I can still feel the fat pads under my eyes although I can see volume loss.
Maybe I should go for a facelift next?

Is it really coming on 5 years since my Facial Fat Transfer?

I just received a Real Self notification regarding a man whose 50, had a facial fat transfer and complained about looking too young (great problem to have).

It will be 5 years this November since I've had my procedure with Dr. Sadi Erfani.

Although, I don't get mistaken for someone in my 20's, it still boggles my mind when people ask my age, I reply and get surprised looks to be told that I look much younger (especially when I get a haircut).

I just wanted to post a recent pic so that for those considering this... Go and find an excellent doctor like mine. The procedure has been totally worth it. I still feel the 'fat pockets' under my eyes.

I'd also like to thank Real Self for being an outstanding forum to help direction.

Fat Transfer... Two and A Half Years Later....

I saw a comment here on Real Self and wanted to post an update since my fat transfer procedure with Dr. Erfani (awesome plastic surgeon) over 2 and a half years ago (going on 3)!!!

Anyone considering this may hear similarly in consultation that 'there is no guarantee as to how long the effects of a fat transfer can last as everyone is different'. For me, it was totally worth it. I know that some of the effects have subsided, but I can still touch the areas just above my cheeks and feel 'strong' pockets of fat that I think 'generated' that don't give me that bottom sunken hollowed look under my eyes. I still feel and look at least ten years younger than I am supposed to.

Dr. Erfani was extremely knowledgeable and incredibly laid back, which I thought was a great combination. When the procedure was performed, I was incredibly impressed with him and his staff as they wanted to make sure that I was alright every step of the way.
