subcision, excision and auto fat grafting for acne scars/craters

Dr Sadove filled in my hip where he initially took out fat for the first procedure since i was concerned about it's indent appearance. He did a great job at evening it out FOR FREE! Then he went and did the second subcision on my right side in two spots. One of the spots was made from the excision so we decided to not do excision again and just try subcision with auto fat grafting. The two crators you can see to the right of my smile crease and right side of my chin. I will post more updated photos as it heals. I have learned from the first procedure that it takes 3 months for the fat and inflammation to settle.

I am well pleased with how my skin continues to get better and better. It is true what they say, you have to wait 3-4 months post-op to really see the results you are looking for. However, I am still concerned about the right lower side (around my mouth) of my face and i expressed my concerns with Dr Sadove during my 2 month post-op check up and he wants me to be especially satisfied in the end result so he is doing subcision with auto fat transfer to that the areas that still have craters from the excision again for no charge at all! I am very pleased with the results except for that area which was the worst area and the most of my focus when getting this procedure. I believe the excision wasn't as good as the subcision for me in particular so what he will do in a couple months is go back in with only subcision and more auto fat transfer to the areas of concern. The swelling is almost completely gone and my skin looks smooth and without blemishes as i have been using just baking soda to wash my face and drinking lots of MSM with freshly squeezed orange juice as well as spirulina daily which i feel personally helps my skin tremendously. I truly feel that subcision with auto fat transfer is the way to go with getting rid of craters. Dr Sadove is highly skilled in this. If i did not have excision, i believe one procedure would have been enough. Since a couple of the excisions didn't heal flat, and the area to the right is still scarred, he will do subcision and auto fat transfer to those excision areas for free. FOR FREE because he wants it to look great and for me to be 100% happy with the results. He is amazing!! I highly recommend him. Very happy with the left side of my face! I will post after my second procedure to keep you all updated!

Scarring from incisions are still red and left a bit of an indent but i am still hopeful that overtime they will look better. I am not wearing silicone patches anymore and just my Aveda concealer makeup and keeping my face out of the sun. I see my cheeks continue to go down in volume and some craters are still left but i see some improvement. As the swelling subsides i see a bit of what was left behind around my smile crease area especially on the right side which i wanted to be gone. I am hoping that in time it will get better. I will keep you updated. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHETHER I SHOULD GET A CHEMICAL PEEL OR NOT? I am not 100% satisfied just yet on my skin's texture and color. Even though Dr Sadove did a great job, i feel like there should have been more change after such an intense procedure. Maybe in time it will get better. I am still pretty sure that it would have came out fine with just subcision.
