I’ve been so busy that I haven’t called my doc to ask about a redo. I think it needs another fat transfer. I hear the body often absorbs the fat so you have to do it again. Ugh.
I just wanted to look rested. :(

Maybe I need to do this all over again.
Not pleased. Bags are baaaaack like Poltergeist. Perhaps I should have gone to an ocuplastic surgeon for this instead, someone who specializes in the eyes. I don't know. It's just not as good as I had hoped.
I am disappointed.

That really sucks that the treatment didn't work. Just a thought, but maybe it's because the fat may not have taken well in the transfer. They say that people may have to go back for touchups. I just had an upper face fat transfer and CO2 laser on my under eyes and I'm hoping that this will solve my problem. Btw, I am a Bernie fan too. :-)

Sorry, but what I MEANT to say is.. It sucks that the treatment didn't work to your liking. The treatment did however resolve most of your undereye issue and I think you look great regardless. :-). (Sorry, but I was loopy from my meds this week. I don't want to come across as rude!)

Thanks so much for the kind words. I appreciate it. The vanity stuff sucks but I waited half my life to do this silly thing and I guess I wanted it 'perfect.' Nothing there. Just flat to the cheekbone. I do hear that people have to go back for a touchup because the body does absorb some of the fat back. Not a big deal to get some fat injected, it's not a whole new surgery so that's a good thing. Right now it's not buy top concern anyway. I can wait a bit. :) How's your recovery going?? Hope well! Damn I miss Bernie. Did you see his single payer plan today?? Gotta love him! Cheers :)

So very sorry to hear you are not happy with your results. However, I think you look marvelous! I don't think you could look bad, your war to pretty for that! Looking at your before pics, there is a huge improvement! Have you looked lately? I think you are being a bit to hard on yourself. Maybe there is something else that can be done? Going through the procedure again seems like a lot to me when you look way better then most people
in general. Just saying..... :-D

Thanks SO much. I haven't been on here in a while. So busy! It's nice to see such nice comments. Getting older as a woman in this society (or any society!) ain't easy. We are so hard on ourselves. I am so much harder on myself than anyone else. I see women of all ages, all shapes and sizes and I can see their beauty - inner and outer - I'd never be as cruel to them as I am to myself. Gotta work on that ;) Cheers to you! And thanks again. :)

I agree with liveyourdream. I think the bags are much much improved. You look youthful and you are so very pretty.

Thank you so much, very kind of you to comment. It's nice to read this. Makes me feel better and less concerned about this bs! HAHA! Life is too short to obsess about stuff, I suppose. And I was never perfect anyway. Not sure who is...!

Bags are a little bit there, but I agree with the others. I think it is still a big improvement! I would be nervous getting a second surgery. I do see on here a lot of people got fillers after they weren't completely happy with their surgery and that did seem to help

Yes, I have seen that, too. A friend of mine (went to same surgeon as I did) had to go back to get some more fat. So maybe I just need a little more fat in there. ;) Maybe I'll give it to myself for my birthday, a year later :) Thanks for the kind words.

I had the same procedure but without fat added. My PS transferred my own fat to the tear trough junction. The problem was tough I didn’t have a lot of fatto transfer. I was very disappointed with the results ol looking marginally better then before. I had a second procedure by a differentPS. He did a transcutaneous blepharplasty withmuscle suspension and the results re amazing. I did lose the initial 5k which was very upsetting. In addition the first procedure was under general. The second was jut sedation so I put myself trough anesthesia risk unnecessarily the first time.
