I went to Dr Little for a fat transfer to under my eyes and my upper lip. Dr Little did my tummy tuck so I knew I was in great hands. He is an amazing Doctor. The only painful part of the process was the numbing. It feels like bee stings. Last night my face was sore it nothing that I couldn't handle. Today my face does not hurt at all but the location that he took the fat from is very sore and swollen. I have been icing it that seems to help.

Congrats u will be amazed by the results! .

I did fat transfer to my face two weeks ago (On Feb 3 2016) with tummy tuck + Lipo (one package). First week post-op, I looked as a big ugly monster and also the second week looked like as monster but better than the first week (Still not natural). Suddenly, on day 11 or 12 post-ops my face looked normal but better than before. I'm 25 male who lost massive weight so I needed fat transfer to my face (upper cheeks and nasolibnal folds) the problem is that it will make the face look too young. The results is so amazing. By the way, I didn't use ice packs and I didn't push it or massage it till now.

Wish u the best

How's your Tummy Tuck ? What you wrote was happening sounded concerning. Is it still swollen ? I've never heard of Dr. Little and live in your area. May I ask your age ? I think facial fat works better on those under 45. You still have much of own, but as time marches on and volume loss occurs at faster rate, many woman are not satisfied or it doesn't last long. Can be costly refilling your face with fat every few months.

So I was expecting black and blue eyes and really bad swelling but I don't have either. I'm very happy about that. My lips are not what I was hoping for. My top lip looks the same. So I think I'm gonna ask Dr Little to do more on them. He did say that he would do any changes at no cost. I'm in love with under my eyes. They look great. Dr Little does great work. My friend she will be calling him Monday for an appointment cause she likes my tummy tucks.

Do you know how Dr. Little processes the extracted fat? How long did your visit for your lip and under eye area take? Do you have photos?

Fat transfer

Eltraljo
So I had a fat transfer about almost two years ago it didn’t last but maybe a week. So I decided to go do it again. I wanted it under my eyes and my lips. Dr Little was going to take fat from my pubic area cause since my tummy tuck almost three years ago it has been huge and it sticks out a lot. So I went in to the surgery room. They numbed me Everything was going fine Dr little supervised while he had two students do the work I had no idea that was going to happen he asked me if they could be in the room but I didn’t know they were gonna actually do the work. I really didn’t mind cause Dr little was there and I knew he was a great doctor and be there the whole time. Well it didn’t turn out like I thought. I’m very upset. First of all my lips went down a week after I got it done then I got infection in my eye I looked terrible then I realized that he didn’t take the fat from my pubic area he took it from my stomach. I was numb and didn’t know that. So I’m very upset about this.

You should change the review to "not worth it". I just recently had the same experience but mine only lasted 2 days on one side and a month on the other. I paid 5x the cost you did and am really disappointed in the results.

Be glad the fat didn’t last. It’s the devil. Use fillers instead, at least if yoy don’t like the results you KNOW will go away with the body’s natural breakdown of the product, or an injection of whatever that “hyra” product is (sorry, can’t rmember the name). With fat, if you don’t like the results, for example too much, unnatural looking, food luck with trying to fix it.

Did the swelling from your fat transfer and blepharoplasty ever go down? I'm dealing with the sane issue you had : (

How do you look now? Did it last this time?
