Facial Fat Grafting Reconstruction
I came to Mario Imola with my face and life shattered after a local surgeon performed facial liposuction, leaving me with little facial fat, irregularities, depressions, scar tissue, and loss of sensation. Additionally, my submental area was fat-stripped with cannula gouges, creating a "cobra" defect. I felt ruined, both physically and emotionally, ashamed of my attempt to enhance my appearance, which led to becoming a victim of botched surgery.
The waking nightmare, the shame, the fear and loss was almost too much to bear. I became isolated and life was a dark burden.
I had one unsuccessful fat grafting surgery, before Dr. Imola, which only made things worse.
Mario Imola took on the challenge of repairing my face with a staged fat grafting approach. I have completed two stages with him and have more to go due to the extent of my defatting. He meticulously reconstructed my facial fat, restoring curves, reducing scar tissue discomfort, and reintroducing tissue beneath the skin. His work in rebuilding and repairing the damage has been beautiful and masterful. He also restored my neck and submentum with fat.
He has treated me with dignity and compassion, and his expertise has given me the opportunity to once again enjoy life. Success in fat grafting is highly surgeon dependent. It is not straightforward and requires extensive experience to achieve good results. Reconstruction, especially in cases like mine, is even more challenging. Taking in someone who another plastic surgeon botched is not something that many plastic surgeons are up for or have the skill to repair.
My face will never be quite the same and I will bear the scars both externally and internally the rest of my life, but I have been given a chance by Dr. Imola to have hope and a future again.
Lisa, his office manager, has been exceptional. She has been an incredible support both professionally; timely and helpful with her knowledge, and always with a kind word of support in the right moment.
Thank you, Dr. Imola, for restoring my face, and giving me a chance at living again. No review, no words I can say will ever truly express how thankful I am.
