Disappointed and Dissatisfied
I went to Atlanta Face & Body in April 2021 seeking blepharoplasty for under-eye hollows and bags, but was steered toward a fat transfer I didn’t request. I asked for something permanent and natural — they insisted fat grafting was “better for me.” I trusted them, but ended up with worse results: uneven, dark, hollow eyes within weeks.
When I asked how they’d fix it, I was told I’d need to pay over $3k again for the same procedure. My follow-up calls went unanswered. It’s been years, and I’m still emotionally and physically affected. I’m now in therapy because of how deeply this impacted my confidence. Please be cautious.

Response from Dr. Whitaker:
For many patients, fat transfer is a better option as it replaces volume in key areas to rejuvenate the look of the eyes. There is typically less recovery time as well. Though it can require some maintenance over time, typically patients are thrilled with their result. We would love the opportunity to speak with any patient who has concerns about their results and provide any support they need. Please reach out to our office when possible.

Update: Same as always. Crickets.
Damn im sorry you went through this. Im sure it is fixable , I know that its expensive but, you can def fix to a better result that you actually wanted. Hope you are doing better
I say this because it doesnt looked bothced or bad, but I understand that you are unhappy with your results because they didnt do what you asked
Dr Whitaker should give you your money back. Some of these surgeons have NO empathy. If she was going through the same thing, she'd want her money back too but oh, wait a minute..she's got loads of money anyway so she wouldn't have that problem. Shame on you Dr Whitaker. If you botch a patient, at least give them a refund so they can sort out the problem you have caused.
At this point, the only thing I’m asking for is a free revision or partial refund to help restore a more natural look. It’s too traumatic for me to reach out to you again. If you’re serious about my concern and willing to offer my requests, please inbox me so I can give you the details to reach out to me.
