Best Choice I've Ever Made!

WORTH IT
I started noticing fat loss on my face had become progressively worse in my late 30's. My eyes became droopy, as well as my mid cheek area, causing visible tear throughs, deep nasolabial folds and even the dreaded jowling, making me look tired, even though I was getting enough rest. I felt that gravity took a toll on me much earlier than it did on my same age peers. After seeing phenomenal results on other patients who had received the fat transfer procedure from Dr.Albert I decided that at 40, it was time for me to go for it!
The fat was harvested from my abdominal area. Numbing of the donor area had minimal pain, about 1 on a scale from 1-10. After the area was numbed well, the fat was harvested. I loved that during the procedure I was able to self administer "laughing gas" which eliminated any anxiety I had about getting a procedure. After the face was numbed and the abdominal fat was processed, It was inserted to my face via a small cannula and on a scale from 1-10, the pain was definitely below 1.
First, the processed fat was inserted laterally to re-build my cheeks. Not only this has lifted the corners of my eyes but has given me a fuller and more youthful face while also minimizing the facial droopiness. Fat was also inserted close to under the eye area and mid cheek. My lips were also droopy and asymmetrical and this was corrected as well. I had very very fain yellowish bruising around my cheeks, however it was so unnoticeable that I did not even have to wear make up post op. The abdominal area was a bit more bruised and sore but this was to be expected since the harvesting cannula is much thicker and longer that the cannula the fat is inserted in the face with.
Dr.Albert understood exactly what I wanted and knew exactly how to give me my desired results without overfilling my face. And, he has the magic touch! I highly recommend Dr.Albert to anyone who wants to turn back the clock by 10+ years!!!

I wanna show my doctor your results. I know some doctors inject below and above the brow. Did you get that part done? Do you mind telling me all the pin points of your injections? I would really very much appreciate it.

I'd like to show my surgeon to. I had it done by a different surgeon in September and by results were gone by the 2nd day. I was also put under general anesthesia because he refused to do it awake which made it so I couldn't see what was being done. I plan on doing the procedure one more time with a different doc and this time under local anesthesia so I can see what's being done. I spent almost 7k dollars for no results. Im really disappointed.

You are lucky, you had a very good doctor
Mine was a disaster.

Not with her doctor, other one, excess fat creating deformity. Be careful what you do as fat is not reversible. It made me age by 20 years.

you look great - congrats! did you notice any difference in your skin? I've heard the fat transfers can have a beneficial impact on the skin in the areas injected?

Thank you so much for following up. Your story gives me faith. I have total facial atrophy from one ultrasound treatment and am now looking into a fat transfer. You look beautiful.

Hi Charming. I'm sorry but I know you posted this a while back but in regard to the ultrasound, which areas did you have done. I too believe I've had facial fat atrophy due to the IPLs, and other lasers I have had done. I really wish I'd known this 12 years ago when I first started to do the IPLs. Since I'm VERY pale, I really wanted the IPL around my nose due to broken capillaries. It worked but I needed a few treatments.
Great results. Thanks for sharing your experience!
