I had been getting collagen for my laugh lines for years. I received 1/2 cc and it would last 6 to eight months. I decided to have my fat transferred to the area. The procedure went well and looked good for two years. My sister notice my face was lumpy on one side and asked about it . I asked the doctor about the lump and he said I probably talked too much while the fat was settling. He offered to do it again but I was hesitate because I think if something did not work well the first time it might now work well the second time and I could be worse off than I am. I later noticed that there were dimples near my mouth. Dimples around the mouth or puppet lines is not a genetic trait in my family. ( We might have a lined neck.) The dimples and the puffiness on one side is very depressing. I am not as socially active as I would like to be. I have seen no person with dimples like mine. It is my understanding that the fat will subside. That will ease some of my discomfort. The dimples are on both side; however the lump is on my left side. I know now I was better off with injections that absorb within months. I look a lot older due to the horse look effect.

Hi Sharazagib,
Thanks so much for the nice compliment. On the full picture I have my mouth pursed in a way to minimize the damage. And I am slightly turned to the side. I cannot look straight into a camera. I do not smoke and I keep my weight in check 123-125lb. My size and attitude make me look okay. I am concerned about the dimples on the corner of my lips. What I see is fat lump-dimple-fat lump. LOL. Chris gave great info and I am chiming along with that: we need to be very careful. Especially with our FACE. A Breast or a Butt can be covered.! At this point I believe temporary dermal facial fillers such as Juvederm are better however they cost in the long run. Under my liquid make up I use an inexpensive ($13.99) Tinted Zinc Oxide, Titanium Sunblock. It is great. It makes the problem less noticeable. Australian gold botanical mineral sunscreen.50 SPF. It is great and not greasy. It dried matted. I am glad I found it. I have it on in the full face picture but not the close up shot. Thanks again. Jan

Thanks Chris,
Thanks for the compliment. I am hearing you. The procedure looked good for the first few years. Now I am concerned with what will happen with these dimples. I am a mess so I am living just living with it. Temporary measures such as Juverderm are probably the best. Thanks so much. Jan

Hi Soren40
Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out to me. Yes, the lumps became quite noticeable two years later. I was so busy I was not noticing them. My sister saw them when I was chewing. They are somewhat soft and sponge like. When I press down they pop back up. One side is very noticeable. On the other side I believe the fat is being re-absorbed back into my body. Pressure possible helps because I sleep on the side that is not bad but I cannot sleep on the side where the problem is due to shoulder pain. In the center of these fat patches is the dimples. I hate them both.ahahahha. I am going to look into the procedures that you mention. Thank you so much. I am glad that I got the nerve to come forward. All of you women (men also )on this website are just beautiful. Thanks again and have a blessed day.
That is what I am trying. I did not know there was a name to this technique. Thanks so much
Jan
