love4pugs Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 My Fg cost was for $1,500. I didn't get full face. I had my upper eyes, lower eyes (tear trough), cheeks, temples, and between eyebrows. I'm at 17days post up. All my grafted areas had softened except for the upper eyes.

hj88 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Ohh I'm interested to hear how you go with your cheeks. I have filler in mine ATM and am tempted to do FG once it dissapears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k-couture Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Mine was from belly. No issues whatsoever. They only take a tiny bit out actually, far less than the amount that would be harvested if you were to do liposuction. Unless of course you are using fat graft for breast augmentation then a much large volume would be taken out. However a skilled surgeon would harvest the fat evenly so its not much to worry about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love4pugs Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Has anyone has Fg to the chin? I couldn't get my chin fg done bc of the chin implant removal. Dr. Kim said I have to wait 6mths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hj88 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 My donor site was the back of my love handles. No issues and you can't even see a scar because the needle was inserted at the top of my butt crack ahaha I almost couldn't get FG done though coz I didn't have enough fat. I asked if they could take from my stomache but they said it doesn't last as long. Upper thigh should be fine though. I don't think they take enough fat to leave the donor site lumpy and uneven (but they did warn me that that was a possibility). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatnose Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 mine was using silicon.not sure abt the thickness. I just let Doctor decide during the surgery that time. I also heard some ppl mention that they could feel implant during speech or smile. But I didnt feel anything.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

algae579 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Hi, I want to share about my fat grafting. I've done full face fat grafting 6 months ago at TL plastic surgery. Now the remaining fat at my forehead is about 20% and cheeks about 10% so I'm planning to go back for a refill next month. I wonder anybody here also go back for refill after 6 months ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hj88 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I had my first FG done in May and the top up in July (which was before the 6 month mark but that was because I could take off work and I have an event to prepare for and didn't want to be topping up any later in case of swelling). So far I think I have retained most of my fats. My cheeks and nasolabial are as full as I would ever want them to be. My forehead has probably gone down the most (maybe 70% remaining) but it's still an improvement on my natural forehead. It looks natural too, not fake and puffy like it did the first month post-op. I'm interested to see how much remains 1 year post-op though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tari_tigerlily Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 can I have fat grafting a day or two after aquashine injection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ro6ue Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Thanks so much for sharing! About how long did it take for the swelling to come down? I'm thinking of getting fat graft and rhinoplasty in mid-October and would need to be "ready" (i.e. not puffed up) by end of November. Do you think that is enough time?

ro6ue Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Hello! Thanks for sharing. I am curious to know how long it took all in all for the swelling to come down. Are there also tips you could give me to help it go faster? And which clinic (and doctor) did you go to? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ro6ue Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Thanks for sharing! Could you tell me how long it took for the swelling to come down? Do you also have tips on how to make it come down faster? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hj88 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 It took a long time for the swelling to come down. At least 1 month before it started to look semi-normal and not so alien-like. By end of November swelling would have come down a lot but there would definitely still be residual swelling. The swelling will look much worse in photos than in real life too..
