61 Years Fat Transfer - Rockville, MD

ORIGINAL POST

I am so pleased with my experience with my fat...

WORTH IT
I am so pleased with my experience with my fat transfer and face lift. i have added some additional fat in my cheeks to make my cheeks rounded (March 2016) and am very pleased. I am planning on adding a little filler around my mouth. Dr. Dahiya always waits between procedures for several months to see how the body adjusts and reacts to whatever procedure he has done and I am always pleased. I will be posting an updated picture very soon as I have been told that I took like I am in the late 30's or early 40's and I am 61 and will be 62 in March 17. So happy that I found Dr. D. I am sure that you also will be pleased.
Sincerely,

A happy patient ( Jeanne' B)

How long till the swelling went down and how long till u seen the results ?
October 2, 2016
I just added a few pix from 9/23/16.. depends on what you have done.. approximately 7 days.. before you can see reduced swelling, and results may be immediate however, you cannot exactly be sure untile the swelling goes down, but you can kind of tell as the swelling goes down what you see is what you get... it is like baking a cake,it depends on you and your body.. like a cake --depends on many things how it turns out, the can, the oven..... i dont think that you should expect anything but pray for better..it depends on your body for the results that you get.. Dr. D is very careful and will make adjustments if needed but does not overdo.. he feels that we should take our time and give our body time to adjust and heal.. etc.. hope this helps

Hello Jada! Thank you for posting your review :) I was wondering if your cheeks felt overstuffed and stiff for the first few weeks, or how long you experienced it, and whether your smile changed as a result of your fat transfer. You look great!!
November 15, 2017
Thx..sorry i missed this post? No my cheeks are not stiff, and no I cannot feel any difference.. they just look a little plump, but i do not mind in fact, i constantly ask for more fat in them because when i first started get fat transfer the fat did not seem to stay as full for as long as i wanted .. i was told by someone because if you sleep on your face which makes sense, so i would rather have more than less and i keep adding.. as Dr D says that he tries to be conservative because he can always add.. so I am still pleased and know that evenually some of the fat will be absorbed and i want to keep as much as possible... well about my smile changing probably, but i dont mind.. if it changed because i changed my face by adding volume to it instead of it being thin.. to say that my smile changed i am not sure.. but i have posted many pix from 2009 until now so you will have to be the judge of that. Hope this helps.

OMG there is NO WAY you are 61!! I don't want to say that you look good for your age because you look good for ANY age. Congrats on amazing results, I'm considering fat grafting to the face as well and this was very helpful.

thanks. I tried to respond earyiler but i think the site was down. fat is great, but it is something that you may need to maintain on a regular basis as you need it.

How often do you think? If it's less often than fillers, then I'm game lol.
December 5, 2016
Has any fat survived from your first fat transfer or does it always disappear? How long does it last?
December 5, 2016
well,some does get absorbed in your body. Dr. D says that i have a solid base, so i think i just keep adding a little that may replace what gets absorbed..it maybe like you keep adding a little solution to a already pretty full bottle that has evaporated a little but there still is a lot there .. but i keep replenished before i need it.. you know..he usually uses half or as much as he thinks you need and then freezes the rest for a touch up.. he says that is better to be conservative putting in and adding later than having too much and cant get it out.....is there any left from the first transfer i think so.. but because i keep touching up i cant say.. but it is worth it.. so just look at it like a car repair and save the money

Thank you for explaining this. It makes sense! Congratulations again, on looking gorgeous dear.

So did you finally get the fat to last? I have known so many that need touch ups as the fat does not last. I tried to email you but I received a message that your email address is not correct
