1 YEAR POST of 62cc Full Face Fat!! And my face has stood the Ultimate test...WEIGHT LOSS of 10lbs at 54years old!
I guess I'm just getting used to my fabulous results and when I look at myself every-morning, I think...same old, same old, until I see old photo's and do comparisons. Then I think...OMG, was that really me? Yuck...even after a neck lift my skin lacked so much volume and I just looked tired.
So, I really don't think much has changed since my last update in the way of:
(a) Skin texture
(b) Skin Volume
However, what I did have done (since my full face fat transfer) was THERMAGE to my eyes this past April 28th. I used my last AFTER photo that I posted here (zoomed up the eyes) and then compared it with my photo taken just today! I do see a difference and I can really tell when I put on eye make-up. So. I'm really glad I did that small procedure to enhance my Face Fat Transfer!
What I do want to tell you my lovely ladies...that this past June/July/August I dropped 10lbs...I went from 115lb-105 to make a weight category (as I'm a Master Weight Lifter). I was concerned I'd lose all my fat from my face...but OMG...I'm so happy to say my face stood up!! I've since regained 4lbs...and have decided to stay at this weight (109lbs) because I need to weigh in again at 105lbs for another upcoming Lifting Competition.
I still don't do any Botox to my face at all but I have used a bit for some neck bands! So other than that...that's about it! I'm SO SO happy that I did this procedure...I just couldn't image my face as it was before!
Last procedure on my to do list...is a rhinoplasty revision I have planned with Dr. Dennenburg. The procedure was booked for this past September, but I had to delay it...but it's re-booked for next August!
My next up-date will be in another 6 months time.
Take Care ladies & gentleman, I hope this up-date gives you some clarification as to whether a face fat transfer might be for you.

Good question Ms.Lu483! Maybe I should break it down for you area by area...
1. 99% the GMG and perimental region (center of face)
2. 95% in the nasolabial crease
3. 100% in the lateral cheek zygoma!!!
4. 85% in the lower lid junction
5. 85% in the mid face
6. 60% in the tear troughs
7. 50% in the upper lip
8. 50% in the lower lip
9. 65% in the buccal recess area
10. 65% around the corners of the mouth
11. 75% in the temples
12. 85% in the angle of the mandible (LOVE that soft jaw-line)!
13. 85% in the mid mandible
Overall, I'd say 80% of the injected fat stayed...even after 10lbs of weight loss!! Hope this helps you. Keep in mind I had thermage done to my eyes. Some women say having thermage done contributes to fat loss of the face. Not true for me.

7.5 Months Post of 62cc Full Face Fat Transfer by Dr. Shapiro!
It’s now 7.5 months post & about 6 months since my last update…so here goes...
In the last 6 months since my last update:
(a) My skin is STILL super smooth and skin tone is very even!
(b) My Cheeks are STILL nice & full!
(c) The features on my face look way more balanced!
(d) My jaw-line looks elegant
(e) My Neck-line looks smooth & youthful
(f) My mouth shape looks youthful & not so frowny
My Healing progress over the 7.5 months:
(a) The skin under my eyes HEALED and is No longer pink & irritated.
(b) 100% of the swelling is gone!
(d) All numbness is gone completely!
OVERALL:
I’m very pleased with my full face fat transfer…everything is STILL perfectly smooth & balanced. No lumps or bumps anywhere! The biggest thing issss...I no longer do Botox injections. I feel my face looks more natural, softer and not so harsh looking as before. I use only 2 products...a skin lightener & eye cream every morning followed up by sunscreen and again skin lightener & eye cream every evening. I DO NOT wear foundation at all unless we are going out on a special evening.
I'm very happy that I did this face fat transfer with Dr.Shapiro!

You look amazing. How much of the results would you contribute to fat graft versus the face lift? Or is it difficult to say.

My improvement come from a full face fat graph Ms. Val3875! My before picture WAS after a neck-lift I did 7 years ago (I did not undergo a full FL) as I was only 47 years old at the time of my NL.

Oh okay, thats great. I though you had a GenXlift as well. Those results are really encouraging!

Yes. Dr.S thought I might need a GenXlift, but on our actual in person consult, he said all I needed was volume in my face and nothing else :)))

That's fantastic. I'm so thrilled for you and that those results can come from just a fat transfer! x

Lovely results. Thank you for the review, especially the rare photos taken months of the procedure.

Thank You Ms.B.6074. It's easy to get caught up in life after surgery & forget that we even had anything done. I agree with you, it's nice to see the long term after photo's of different procedures.
