Fat transfer is not worth it

ORIGINAL POST

Fat transfer is not worth it

Lamb and Lion
The doctor only transferred approximately 15cc to my face ( report says 11cc but doctor confirmed it could have been more). The fat all stayed. My skin is hideous now. My face looks stuffed and distorted. The fat was placed so high up my cheeks ( already had prominent cheekbones) that my eyes disappear.

11cc is not very much & your pics are not very good to show what your talking about. Can you post full face pics?

Fat transfer is so hard to remove

Lamb and Lion
Please please do not do fat transfer. Doctors do not know how to remove it

Thanks-I am getting mixed opinions from Drs about doing fat transfer and a face lift at the same time-I am thinking not to do it at the same time

Try injections for melting the fat, it is very easy , it is a korean brand called Light Fit. The fat dissolves straight away.

I had a fat transfer to my lips eight weeks ago. There is nothing left of it. Completely back to where I started.

Was not supposed to be placed there

Please read the reviews for this doctor and read the comments of patients who have gone to this doctor. You will find that several are unhappy in the long run with their results. Also, if you look closely at his fabulous instagram pictures you will see a lot of contouring with makeup and very few frontal pictures but instead really specifically placed angles. Also, pleas notice that none of he patients are smiling. I can speak for the other patients but I can assure you that my face no longer animates like it used to because of the fat. I look stuffed with fat when I smile . Even though we never discussed placing fat on my cheekbones, which he did.. I now have to pay to try to get it removed .

I'm so sorry to hear this. Do you have before and after pictures?
March 16, 2020
That's the problem with fat transfer. It might look good/passable when the face rests but honestly when smiling it's sooo unnatural. It makes me not want to smile anymore. I'd rather have lines undereyes at rest than lumpy cheeks while smiling. Don't do it people.

These doctors definitely play games with the photos.
