A few years ago, I had a fat transfer done under my eyes by another physician. She completely overfilled me and I ended up with huge fat bubbles under my eyes. I went back several times and was injected with kenalog, but this only seemed to bring it down a little bit and temporarily. For the next few years, I searched high and low for a doctor who could fix my botched fat transfer, but to no avail. I was either told it couldn't be done or that it would require an invasive and expensive procedure with no guarantee of good results. I was starting to accept the fact that I would be stuck looking like a freak for the rest of my life, or at least until I could save up a ridiculous amount of money. Then, in December of 2016, I finally found out about Dr. Montegut through a RealSelf review. I called his office right away and was able to book a consultation for the first week of January. Dr. Montegut told me he could help me and explained two approaches: a conservative one and a more invasive one. He recommended the conservative method for me since I'm still so young. He was honest and told me that there's a good chance it will take more than one procedure to get it just right, which I was fine with. After almost 4 years of living with a botched face, I was just happy to have found someone who was willing to help me. I booked the procedure for the very next week. And let me tell you... immediately after the procedure, I could already tell a huge difference. Even with the post-op swelling, my eyes looked ten times better than they did before! It's now been almost a month and there's still a little bit of swelling and tenderness, but my face is looking really good and I know this isn't even the final result. I don't even think I'm going to need the second procedure! I am so beyond happy with the results, and the fact that Dr. Montegut was able to accomplish this without cutting my face open is just icing on the cake. He truly is a miracle worker, and I strongly recommend him to anyone who is in the same position I was. My only wish is that I would have found him much sooner.

I'm so glad you finally got the results you want! And I love hearing that you found Dr. Montegut here on RealSelf. :) Have your family and friends noticed the difference?

Can you give me some idea of what the procedure entailed? And how much it cost? I'm thinking of contacting him.

Can we see a picture of before and after? I'm having the same thing done in the next few weeks and would love to see them.

Hi Brandy, I also have a problem with fat transfer. My cheeks are so bloated and I look so different. I’ve been suffering from depression from this. I have been searching for so long to try and find a surgeon who can help me with this. Your story gives me hope. Can you please send me your before and after pictures as well as he treatment he did for you. Thank you so much
