WORTH IT$2,750
I was told that when the fat cells survive for up to 6 month, it could last up to 3 years or even be semi-permanent. So I'm thinking.... thank god hahaha I might get another fg later on cuz I kind of wish for a little more volume in the future. Well, all the girls need a little bit of touch ups here and there on a regular base..., right? haha

Your beautiful and YOUNG. You results can last alot longer than just 3 years when ur young and the fat cells can even "grow" and make your face chubby if you gain weight. My dr dont perfer to do alot of fg on a young patient but he said ok to one session and i wanted to do a second round but i gained weight and my face has alot more volume so Im glad i saved my money and didnt do r2 he was right about too much fg isnt good on a young patient. You shouldnt need a touch up in many years at 27.

perfect! So lucky!

That is so true! So many things don't last forever but are still worth it. Like Botox!
At 3 years fat transfer lasts longer than voluma and to me looks more natural.
I can't wait to see you at the two and three year points! Congratulations again on your new look!

You look so great! Your face looks beautiful!
I know its hard but I do hope that you update at the one year mark and once a year after that even.
It would be great to be able to see how this lasts on someone who has had such outstanding results.
I have a friend who wants to come to Korea with me when I go! I think I will probably get two or three things done while I am there. And when we are able (after recovering) we would like to see some of the country and make it a vacation!

I agree it looks great. You look a lot younger and it seems to have "shaped" your face as well, the results are amazing.
I wonder if older people are candidates for facial fat transfer. I hope so as it certainly does look better than just filler.
November 3, 2015
i think it is much better than just a filler injection since it will last longer. Even in price wise or safety wise, since it is your own natural fat I think it should be much safer...

Voluma lasts 2 years or more, and facial fat transfer in younger people lasts 3-5 years. In older people it will probably last 3 years max. Cost wise, fat transfer is more expensive than 2-3 vials of Voluma, however, the fat transfer seems to "shape" the face better.

FG is like a plastic surgery that gives you the result u want in no time hahaha!!!
Even if you might want a retouch once in a while, it is totally worth it!!!
November 4, 2015
I don't know....many who have had it (mostly older than this young age though) seem very, very divided. It seems to look great at first on very few (the rest are miserable!) and then....worst of all....as you age, the bad things pop up, like the face getting all full towards the bottom where you LEAST want it to happen. If it just stayed where it should, great, but that is NOT how gravity works. But I still like to see good results, and I will just have to wait until I hear a doc who knows how to deal with the bad results just in case.

yeah... that's why people need to find the right doctor who knows what he does although FG is a very simple surgery, you need to get them done from a doctor who is experienced and expert on.. you need to do a lot of research before getting the FG
November 4, 2015
Thanks to you, there is probably a trip to South Korea in my future in the next few years! I hope it ends up being easy to plan the trip, I do worry about finding a place to stay and after-care if I decide on any surgeries though.

you're welcome~ you should really visit Korea hahaha it is definitely beautiful.
November 7, 2015
I would neva do surgery with dr in a place that is far, what happens if there is a problem? do you speak Korean? It worries me..
User Avatar
November 7, 2015
well...if you are getting a big surgery that should be one of the worries...but with the FG, I don't think there is any follow ups needed though...
I would say, don't just come for the surgery, but travel through Korea and get the surgery done...FG is not even a big surgery so you can totally travel around..
