Mmmm....
Well I'm far enough out to know swelling is gone and have lost volume. I have recurrent loss under eyes. I have my follow up appointment next week. Reflecting back I do not feel like I have had amazing results. Just so so. Not sure if I would recommend or repeat this procedure. I'm not sure if it it was just my DNA the fat didn't take but I feel like it was unsuccessful and my face is a little more asymmetrical then I remember it being prior to the procedure. Sadly at this point I do have regrets.

Progress
Just past the two week mark. Swelling is gone. Just have to wait it out now and see how much remains after 6 weeks. Still overall content with my choice. My only complain is one of the "puncture" locations used for the canula on my face is leaving a tiny indented scar. Otherwise I'm just going to wait and see. Psychologically I do look different. Not in recognizable but different, for what it's worth it's neither good nor bad just different.

I'm very nervous about the fat grafting I have my facelift/neck lift and full face grafting on Nov 1st if you can give me any advice I would appreciate it. Please keep us updated, so many people have gave bad reviews on fat grafting and I really hope and pray that you are happy so it will give me more confidence when its my turn.

Your recovery period will be much different than mine meaning you will by default have more swelling and longer recovery because of the face lift. I think the important part is to trust your surgeon. All cosmetic surgery is elective and therefore a risk. A risk most of us are willing to take. I'm happy 3 weeks out so I don't regret it! I feel like with fat it's better to go conservative and have to repeat at a future date if not enough remains vs being overfilled and trying to correct it. My surgeon felt the same so we had the same goals. Like I mentioned before it has a psychological effect seeing a "different" face looking back in the mirror everyday but you eventually adjust

Thank you for getting right back to me. I was hoping on getting the fat from my inner thighs as well since I don't have much anywhere else, is there much pain in that area? Also do you notice a big difference in fat loss to your thighs? Sorry for all the questions

I have decided to get the FG after doing more research. I'm sure between now and Nov 1/16 I will be on an emotional roller coaster. My PS said he won't take my inner thigh fat and if he can't get it from my belly I would get my money back. I guess I'm going to have to gain weight :( I was so happy to go from 152 to 134. I'm not sure if it will even go on my stomach after he done my TT and lipo 8 yrs ago.
