I felt my face was looking tired. In particular the hollows under my eyes. I tried dermal fillers but I think that as they absorbed they left my face looking even worse than before. My surgeon recommended a fat transfer. He took fat from my knee area and injected a small amount into the hollows underneath my eyes. The results are fantastic! No bruising and it looks very natural. My face looks younger and fresher.
The surgeon and hospital staff were all excellent.

Wow, thank you for your post! Please post some pics - love to see your results!

Why fat from the knee area?

October 18, 2016
Hi thanks for your comment.
I think they take it from the knee area because people rarely get fat knees! You see the fat still acts in accordance with the donor site. So if in a few years I get a fat tummy the fat cells under my eyes will also get bigger!
3 weeks on now and my eyes look amazing! No longer tired and hollow looking!

Was that misleading?? I mean 'if' they had taken fat from my tummy! But they didn't!

Hi joanne ,
I got the same problem as you! but im so down about my awful eyes ! do you think you may need a top up of fat later?

Hi, it's 4 months on now and my eyes still look great. The surgeon said I may feel like I need a top up but so far so good!
Go for it! I'm sure you'd be happy with the results x

How much fat did dr injected under each eye. I would lover to see before and after picture. I am thinking about the same procedure for the same reason, tried of people asking me if I were tried. Thanks for sharing.

I'm not sure how much fat. If your main concern is looking tired then a fat transfer would definitely help. My face looks much perkier!

Thank you. I did the fat transfer but did not get what I was expecting :(

Thanks Joanne got a consultation in April .! How long did you have to wait after the consult did you have to wait before you can get done ?

Hi, I think it was about 6 weeks. It's about 5 months ago now and I reckon about 30% of the fat has reabsorbed. I'm still very happy with the results though
That tired look hasn't come back yet
Good luck!x

Thank you for getting back to me . As long as I get about 50% difference I'm happy !thank you

Aw thanks Joanne ! It's been really hard to find a decent dr who does this ! Thanks for the review keep us updated.

Is there any particular reason he took the donor fat from the knee area as opposed to another part of your body (ex. stomach, thigh)?
