From 2014 to 2017 Fat Transfer After Laser Damage Several Years out Review

Went through hell
WORTH IT$5,500
Just an update. Have not been on here in a few years. I was very disappointed in how many negative comments and how horrible others were to each other so I left. I am EXTREMELY happy with my fat transfer after laser damage. It only gets better and better as time goes on. I have to say I am finally feeling almost 100% like the old me and I'm getting older so that's great. I am also daily getting compliments on my skin which had stopped after all of my damage. I could not recommend it more for volume loss. Please research and pic a good dr it took me a couple years. Also note everyone is different In how procedures go and others will never be happy no matter what they do because the mental damage is done after such a traumatic event as we have all experienced after laser damage. I hope nothing but the best for everyone and there is never a day I freak out about myself anymore. I and finally at peace. I hope all of you can be as fortunate as me to find the answer to the hell we have gone through.

Hi deflateface. I am so sorry for what is happened to you. But I'm grateful you took the route of fat transfer. My husband was so terrified after I came out because I was so happy with how I looked immediately after he thought oh boy what have I gotten myself into. LOL it'll go down quick. If you have a good doctor I'm sure you'll be very happy with your results. Anything beats the saggy look. your Face shape was very similar to mine. You're actually lucky you were able to do a lower facelift. I only had laser under my eyes and it completely hollow out my eyes and made my cheeks drop. Which made the lower part of my face look like crap. I only had a periobital fat transfer which is around the eyes and upper cheeks and I might need a little bit filler on my left side because one side is slightly uneven but my doctor won't do it. He says everybody's face is not even on one side. But when you Pay $5500 damn well better be even LOL. I'm only 35 and this happened what five years ago or something I can't even keep track I still have nerve damage and some other problems. But the fat fixed everything and lasted for a long time. I'll just have to find somebody else to get a slight touch up from sometime or maybe a little bit of filler other than that everything is perfect. I have high hopes for you I think everything is going to go very smooth :-) you look amazing

Only because after I had a bad bout of Botox and laser the laxity to my skin and facial muscles was terrible. Directly after the fat it lifted everything but like I said I only had a peri orbital transfer. So I still have that weird lower face volume loss which isn't too bad but for being 35 it's something I never would have had to experience I had a very full lower face before all the damage. My face was very similar to your before pics. I always hated my full face but when it went down it was aweful. The fat will fluctuate for a while...a couple years I'd say. My fat is pretty much settled and done with the fluctuating. My dr says there is too much risk for bio film infection and told me it's not worth the risks. He thinks my face is just fine. He's very honest and conservative. Your welcome. Don't worry about the fluctuating. You really look great your so close out it's all brand new and finale results take a while. I liked myself immediately after the procedure lol. My husband was terrified. Lol. But as you know when you lose all that volume it's absolutely horrible. The volume back did wonders for me.

Hello glad to hear that you got your problem fixed. Can you tell me what laser you got done to cause fat loss. Because l just had erbium fractional laser done on my face. To remove pigmentation. I hope this doesn’t cause fat loss to my face. As l was told this would not happen to me ?
