I've always wanted my eyes to look naturally...

WORTH IT$4,500

I've always wanted my eyes to look naturally refreshed but my genetics gave me a tired, sick, and much older look. So I decided to do some research for a permanent way to get rid of my hollowed dark under eyes where I learned about fat grafting. After speculating for a while and trying to make sure it was safe and effective I decided to go through this procedure. My face was swollen for a few days and slowly I started to see the results and I couldn't be any happier my face looks rejuvenated and fuller. The recovery wasn't too long few weeks and I saw the results. More then pleased and glad I was treated with great care with friendly staff and Enviorment.

Did this doctor show you before and after pics of many patients he had seen. I really want something like this but also for the sides from where my nose is to my mouth. I have lost alot if fat here and under my eyes... what was it that made this Dr be the one for the job. Your answers will help me greatly x

He didn’t show me any... I pretty much just took the risk based off what I saw online and it really was a good disscion. It helped tremendously with the hollowness. I went from loooking like a skeleton to a more awake face. BUT I did get some unevenness “lumps” but it was mentioned to me that the fat would dissolve here and there, which I corrected with fillers later on. So really I am truly happy with this fat grafting and am glad I trusted a good doctor. Which was only based off of reviews I saw only. I would recommend it, it helps. Little details can be fixed afterward.

The darkness under my eyes reappeared but hollowness has somewhat disappeared and looks fuller but it is still very pigmented under the eyes again

Do you have before pics? I had a fat transfer a couple months ago and I think most of it has dissolved.

Dissolved already?? that shouldn't happen, I've heard of 5 years it lasting or at least 2 years. Maybe go back and see your doctor, even fillers last longer.

@SunkissedBody, More than 1 and in some cases 2 procedures are required to achieve the desired results when it comes to facial fat grafting which sucks:(

if you think pigmentation is still an issue under the eyes, you should try prp, it may help the texture of your skin and the pigmentation may be gone
