Here are my final results. I’m happy with the retention of fat, and the contour in my forehead with this round. I will do one more transfer just to my forehead area in the next year or so.

I am quite swollen. Th surgeon injected a total of approx. 44 cc of fat with 30 in my forehead and temples, and 14 in nasolabial lines and under eyes. My forehead isn’t looking as round as I want it at 2 Days post op. It will only get smaller, so I’m a bit disappointed that he did not inject more. I will just hope that the PRP injections will help my retention rate. The bandage on the left side of my cheek is covering a blister that formed from being on the operating take for 13 hours (I did other procedures in conjunction). I’m hoping it won’t scar.

Wow, 13 hours in surgery, hope your body is recovering from that. Do you know how many cc is normally injected into forehead to get that doll look you see with forehead fat grafts in Korea?
How did that blister form? Was it from a mouth or breathing tube? That's unacceptable and precautions should have been taken by Regen to prevent that from forming. Definitely bring that up to them, they should be responsible for any skin treatments you'll need. Ask to speak to their dermatologist, they should provide you with ointment and scar cream. Do not let them blister form a dry scab, keep the site moist by using something like vaseline or aquaphor every few hours as the most environment promotes healing.

I’m not sure about the number of cc’s required for the doll look, but I think it would depend on the person’s facial structure and also where fat is placed and how it is shaped. I noticed this time that Dr. Kwon places more fat near my hairline. Dr. Lee placed more fat near the centre of my forehead to give a round projected look for the first transfer. I also like the real round doll look so as of now, I’m a bit disappointed at the result and just praying that the fat will retain. As for the blister, it was from laying on one cheek for most of the surgery. they gave me special hydrocolloid dressings for it and after about 6 days it is completely healed and no sign of there ever being a blister there in the first place.

Hi, you look amazing!! i would love top do what you did. Is it woth it going to korea? im nervious because iis a diferent country and i dont speak the language, any advise wouyld be helpfull. where did you stay while you where recovering ? around how much money did you spend. Thank you so much :)

Thank you rambo! Yes, I do think it is well worth going to Korea for this particular treatment. The recovery isn't too bad (if you're flying a long distance) and because medical tourism is huge there, there are english consultants at a lot of the clinics. I stayed in an airbnb this time, and it isn't too pricey. Definitely research some clinics and reach out to their whatsapp or kakaotalk to get more info :)

Hi there! I'm hoping you could tell me how much the fat transfer to the face costed? Was it the same amount both times? Curious to know if you were able to tell them how many ccs you wanted the 2nd time around, knowing how much your body absorbed the first round? Really appreciate you taking the time to read/answer this. I've been looking into this surgery in Korea for 4 years but I've been to scared to get it done! You look great btw!

Hi Goldhair. everyone is different but most of my swelling went down within 10-14 days. There was residual swelling for 3 weeks after my first transfer. Hang in there!

Dear I had a fat transfer recently. I was wondering if you have a hardness/ lump around cheek/tear trough? I m freaking out though it is my 10th day today
January 5, 2019
Hi! I didn’t notice any hard lumps although I know this can happen. Can you see the lumps or just feel them?
January 7, 2019
In that case I wouldn't be concerned but it never hurts to follow up with your surgeon :)

Before 2nd Transfer
These photos are 3 days before my 2nd transfer. I will ask for fat to be transferred to forehead, temples, nasolabial lines and front cheek. I will also ask about under eye and chin.

Hey how are you? Hope you are recovering well! How did your 2nd transfer go? Any differences you noticed compared to the first one?
December 23, 2017
Hi Ezthetic, you are so kind to check up on me. I just finished surgery less than 12 hours ago (got rescheduled for 2 days later because of flight delays). Because I had to reschedule, Dr. Lee was not available. Dr. Kwon did both the transfer to breast and face too. I’m swollen now more than last time (maybe because of PRP?) but feeling ok. Will update soon!

Hello. Do you have any updates? Has the fat still lasted well in the face?
