Before the procedure was better. Big mistake.

I just had slight hollowing and was hesitant about fat grafting under the eyes and mentioned to Dr.Pearson I had a small amount of filler under the eyes before and it was lumpy a year but he guaranteed no problems. Now I have lumps, lines and squishy fat under the eyes.

I looked better before the procedure. It caused me more problems than I had before the procedure.

3 and a half month after fat grafting my dents from liposuction from Dr.Pearson are still there and irreversible. The last thing I said to him before surgery was please don’t do it if you can’t find enough fat in my back. There are also lines across my eyes and face I never had plus the fat under the eyes is like silly putty and if I smile it bunches up. I had no lines under my eyes prior to the procedure just hollowness. The one eye where he injected cortisone steroid from swelling has light white skin now and is dented in areas and puffy in others. Still hiding under dark glasses and will have to do revision after Summer. Sloppy job with horrible results.

Below Standard of Care

Below standard of care. Check out his credentials, he smooth talks you to get your business and then after your surgery doesn’t go well he doesn’t take responsibility and claims it’s your risk. He did procedures without my consent that put my health at risk. I thought he was trustworthy at first, extremely disappointing he tries to act like you’re overreacting or gives you meds to calm your nerves. I had a green face for a month and now have bags under my eyes I never had plus lines across my face and one eye has a dent from fat grafting that I asked him not to do but he convinced me that he knew how to do it plus dents on my hips from lipo, one 5” long. Also I asked him to not put fat in my cheeks and he did. As a prior model it’s quite upsetting. You need some fat on the hips for the production of estrogen and he promised to not touch my hips. I was 5’5” and 107 pounds and he should have never done lipo but I thought he had the expertise. I at first wrote him from another state about something else and he required a deposit saying it was refundable but when I got there at 5 pm he said he couldn’t do the procedure I wanted and convinced me to do a different minimal procedure just simple like filler the next morning at 8:30 am. He left me disfigured and 9 qualified specialists that are surgeons said I need a revision. Any prior surgery he does may look good at first but may not hold up. He keeps saying after months to give it more time. I went in for what I thought was a simple touch up that cost me months of my life in recovery and hiding behind dark glasses. I completely regret going to him and my intuition told me on the way to the surgery center to turn back. He should show some ethics. Don’t trust him.

This is awful. I am so sorry to hear this. I do think some surgeons take particular advantage of travelling patients. I suspect not only for more money but also experimentally to see what effect it has. Particularly with fat grafting which is so unpredictable. They don't know how it will settle or how it will alter nearby features. As you disclose in your post, the dangers of harvesting the fat are skimmed over. Like you, I am too thin to have fat removed from thighs. The harvesting that was done there has left them looking malformed and after a year the area near the navel is still painful.

I’m so sorry you also had a bad experience with someone you trusted. Interesting comment you bring to light about the procedure perhaps being experimental. I’ll never do fat grafting again and had I been aware of the uncertainty I would have not proceeded. I basically have lumps of silly putty under my eyes. Praying it mostly gets absorbed. My dents from the liposuction will not ever go away as where they are, right over the hip bone and down to the tissue. Thank you for sharing and stay well.
