Fat Grafting with Marten After IPL Damage - San Francisco, CA

Not sure how much alone without the package deal. You would have to consult with him. It depends on how much fat you need exactly.

how long did you have to wait to get a consultation with him? I read somewhere that some woman waited a whole year. how long was the waiting time between the consult and the surgery date?

Thank you. Yes, I took them down. Pm me with your email if you would like to see them :)

Hi, I have a family friend that is looking to have a Facial Fat Transfer done with Dr Martin in SF and would appreciate any pics you would wish to share. Please send to mip43@hotmail.com. Thanks, Allen

Do you mind share your pictures during the recovery? I am going to have a facelife done with Dr. martern too. Please send to ap2288@gmail.com

Hi, I would really love to see your pictures if you don't mind

He doesn't have web page. Number is +14156779937

Does anyone know is she has done anything since to restore the cheeks? I need to know what to do with my face. I have the exact same issue.

Unfortunately this doctor liposuctioned several placed on my face, neck and body without permussion. Loosing important fat creates problems in long run.
Be safe people. There are cheaper doctors who will follow your will in the procedures.

My first facelift my fat lasted in some areas for 12 years .... so that was untrue for me. It lasted in my cheeks and lips.

hey johnny1671. where's the post you're talking about? cuz I checked out her posts, and theres literally only this 1 review. nice try.

nvm I found it lol... she wrote a QUESTION POST saying she had an "accident to her forehead which caused fat loss in her forehead, eyebrows, and eyelids" and then added that she had full face fat grafting but that it "only lasted 2 years". what kind of accident would cause this? im wondering if it had anything to do with the initial fat grafting she had done with dr marten

Dr. Marten is amazing. I wish you great luck with the procedure and a speedy recovery! :) You will be more than pleased with the results. He is an artist and a genius.

Thank you so much! I'm nervous and excited :D

From what I know he doesn't have a website at the moment but you can call up his clinic and request a booklet with before and afters. They are simply stunning and the best I've seen.

Here's the number for his office +14156779937

Good luck with your fat graft! Yes, he did my lips too. Most of it went away but enough of it remained. I'm happy with the results. I prefer to look more natural.

Thank you! :) I hope this time more fat stays. After how many weeks did you had the final result of the lips?

Took about 2-3 months

and then It stays for ever? I hear some loose it after 6 months some after a year or some people still have the fat after 10 years! That's what I'm hoping for. But I don't understand how people can loose it after 6 months or a year cause it suppose to settle after 3 months and then it should be permanent..

It varies from prison to person. But usually what you retain after four months is there for you for life. You will continue to lose fat though as you age so touch ups are necessary from what I hear.

how long did the fat in your cheeks last?

It's been about 6 months since I had the fat graft and it's still there.

Honestly, I'm not sure if it will help orange peel skin, but after my fat loss I noticed a bunch of ice pick scars all over my cheeks. This was due to the deflation of my cheeks. Restoring the fat helped diminish the ice pick scars for me bc they were simply formed in the first place from the fat loss.

I got my boobs redone and a temporal brow lift. :) I'm sorry about your face. I wasted several years of my life stressing over the damages IPL made me go through. It's devastating.

I think the worst thing is that I never appreciated that I was actually stunning looking. Always used to get people saying I should model but never believed them. I look at photos from 2 years ago and can see how gorgeous I was . It is very upsetting . I just hope that fat transfer can go someway to restoring the contours of my face instead of the flat , tired looking one I have been left with

I think most of us with IPL damage feel that way, so you are not alone. ;( Do your research first before doing fat grafting with any doctor. Dr. Marten is amazing because his results are natural - his true specialty is combining face lifts and fat grafts. I only needed a fat graft since I'm only 30. But since I'm so pleased with my fat grafting results so far, I'm planning on getting my first facelift with him in the future. :)

I don't think I need a facelift either as I have no wrinkles or loose skin, just loss of volume , causing A flat face, brows are sagging due to loss of volume there and cheeks are completely flat which is causing my once upturned mouth to turn down . What were your issues? What did you look like before the fat transfer?

Hi there. The temporal lift, was that done with incisions at the sides of your head just behind your hairline? Thanks!

Yeah, just behind the hairline.

Thanks. So you still have bruising under your eyes after 4 months?

hi jkai11. I also have ipl/laser genesis laser damage and have been trying different treatments for almost a year. My face is completely deflated. It's like my face just fell. If I lift up the skin on my cheeks you can see the laser tracks. Do you have before/after photos of your fat transfer? I also have a consultation with Dr Martan for Fat grafting and I think he may recommend a temporal lift because the fatloss around my eyebrows made the skin on my eyes and corner of my eyes droop. It has been 9 months since my damage. I waited 6 months for my appointment with marten then had to cancel because I am coming from across the country because it interfered wit other travel plans at the last minute. I hear that the wait is worth it.

I mainly had volume loss - fat loss all over my face, mainly upper cheeks and eye area. That's where I had my laser procedure.

Bruising goes away after a few weeks.

The wait is definitely worth it. I wouldn't trust my face with anyone else to be honest. Feel free to PM me your email address. I will send you more photos. I'm truly sorry about your damage. I can totally relate bc I went through the exact same thing. I wish you a speedy recovery and I do wish you success no matter what path you decide to go as far as treatment goes for the fat loss.

No problem! :)
