Fat Transfer with PRP to Under Eyes and Face - Los Angeles, CA

Wish I'd done a before with makeup, so I could have done an after with makeup. Because then, when you take away the shadows from the veins, the results are much more impressive. It's really raised the area significantly. I had a friend of mine who has been trying to get me to use fillers for a number of years. She saw me and exclaimed how much better I looked. She assumed I'd had regular temporary fillers done. Her only comment was that knowing how "tight" I am with my money that I needed to simply "suck it up" and get more vials as needed for under my eyes that two or three was simply not enough.....

Im guessing since you haven't updated in a while that the fat didn't take or you don't notice much of a difference?

My fat retention is about what I expected (I knew my tear troughs would not be totally filled as fat cells have to touch something for a blood supply). One of the main reasons I wanted fat instead of temp fillers is because my one tear trough had a HUGE hollow and and I didn't want to keep paying and paying and getting jabbed time and time again with multiple vials.) The dark shadows are veins showing. It looked like I had about a tablespoon scooped out including under the tear trough. Now it looks like I need about a teaspoon or so just in the tear trough...... The other tear trough was about a teaspoon shy (one vial). Now, if anything a partial vial should totally fill it. He also put some in my temples, decent retention, cheeks, very good retention, lips good retention for lips (subtle but looks really great), nasal labial fold lines ok retention, wish he'd put more in.... (Next time). I will say that I had not one single lump. Not one. And it was all very, very smooth under my eyes. Assuming the retention stays at this point I'm looking at round two next summer or the summer after that. (Scheduling and saving up the cash)

I am having my done in December and am very nervous about it. I have never have anything done to my face but tried of preoplet asked me if I needed more sleep or was I tried due to my nasolabial folds being so deep. I will be conservative with my treatment since it is much harder to correct it than to get touch up. Thank you for your reply. It is very much appreciated :) and I hope you get the result that you are hoping for.

I am known to be quite stingy with my money so my husband was quite surprised when I picked Dr Emer. My husband then also researched him. But fat transfers, especially to under your eyes, is one place where you absolutely do not want to bargain hunt but want someone with lots of experience. Are you going with Dr Emer in December, or another doctor? Being conservative is a great idea. Less likely to have lumps, less likely to end up overfilled, less likely to be uneven. Yes you may have to repeat to get your desired end face... But the odds of having to try and fix something go way down and fat transfer overfills for example are hard to fix. I hope you have great results!

Thank you for your response. I have other surgeon in mind. I wish that I am brave enough to fly to Korea since this procedure has been done and mastered in that region.

Although Korea is really into plastic surgery the downside of going anywhere outside the US for care is if you have a poor outcome you have NO resources for any kind of a good resolution. None.
Not to mention airfare and language barrier. In the states if you have a complication your insurance company may pick up the tab... Not so if you are overseas.
