46 Years Old Wanted to Add Fullness Back to my Face and Lips That I Have Lost over Time and Weight Loss - Dallas, TX

Almost 2 months post fat transfer
$4,600
Well I am almost 2 months post fat transfer procedure and wanted to give an update. I did the fat transfer to fill out my face and help with the tired and sunken look I was experiencing. Most of my post procedure comments revolved around my lips because they were so BIG. The rest of my face didn't really look much different compared to my lips, so I didn't talk much about those areas. I can say now that my lips are almost back to their original size. I have very minimal change to my lips. I would like them a slight bit fuller ( go figure) but they look better now then when they were HUGE and crooked. The rest of my face looks slightly better. I would say the change is minimal and wish I had bit more fullness overall. I go back next month to see the dr and maybe I will be able to tell more of a difference with their before and after pics. I am still not sure the change is enough to outweigh the cost and go through the entire experience, but I am waiting for the 3 month appt to really make my final decision. I have to say I would not want to be overfilled, so I think there is a fine line as to how much fat to add. It is not an exact science or outcome. It was too expensive to take extra fat out and store it ( not in my budget). I would have to go thru the entire procedure again to have more fat added.

I'm glad to see you're okay w the results so far. I'm 46 and having the fat transfer and lower lift on 2/18. It didn't look like you had a lot of bruising. We have similar faces so it's interesting to see your afterwards.

I had very little bruising. I hope you share your pics so I can see how it turns out.

Your lips look GREAT stop massaging them or you'll kill all the fat cause after all not every fat cell survive

The doc said not to message too much. I am not really messaging anymore just rubbing spots to even out. Thanks for the advice

Very nice result, you look good & your lips are pretty. They aren't too big, you just aren't used to them. I think they look natural. So many women are plumping their lips these days, so no need to feel self conscious.

Thank you for the encouraging words! I think they are growing on me. I will post another picture soon to show latest progress. My concern is looking fake or having that duck look to my mouth.. I think the rest of my face looks better. My family has not really said "it looks really good" or any positive comments so I think I'm feeling like maybe it doesn't look better. Family doesn't like change so maybe that's why they are not that positive about it?

Thank you! I am trying to get used to them. I was expecting them be a little more conservative. I have heard the lips go down a lot though, so maybe I will be glad they are so full when it is all said and done.
