Fat graft put in my cheeks. left cheek is ok right cheek sagging very badly as if the surgeon stupidly put the fat low down. Mine is not hard but is like a bubble of fat suddenly coming out from my lower face making it saggy.

I will try the lipodissolve you suggest. Your friend use 2 session? How often can each session be done?

If even after I remove the fat I am still sag I will do a face lifting. I am scared for big surgery like a facelift but I cannot stand looking at myself in the mirror anymore. I am so angry at that stupid doctor

If it's only been a few weeks, your skin might not sag if you remove the fat. Try suction (no laser energy) with RF afterwards. Are you still in Korea now?

My advice is to remove botched grafting at 3 months post surgery (once all the swelling goes away but before it goes harder and sets)... how much did you have injected?

They never tell me how much was injected, What is RF? No I am not in Korea. I was thinking non invasive laser lipo might work? Why do you not recommend?

 

[heylo]

RF = Radio frequency (skin tightening). Do you mean the Acculift laser lipo? There are a few doctors in the US that do this, but not many. The majority are in Korea. Problem is that it can burn your skin... I heard of a girl in Korea who did it to remove fat grafting and apparently her skin turned black. With suction lipo, there's no thermal energy so it at least won't risk burning the skin.

You should demand your medical records from Korea as you might need to tell the revision doctor how much you had injected in each place so that he knows what to take out.

1.Fat Grafting to the Jowls, mouth corner.

I got the promotion email from Izien a couple months ago. I am wondering I didn't see anyone interested and post about their experience at this clinic.

Depends on your style, if you like the over-filled voluminous baby-face look of Korean fat graft, then Korea is the place for you.

Western surgeons do it much more subtly than Koreans.

I've done Korean fat grafting before and I think it looks great, the only problem with it is the fact that overfilling does indeed stretch your skin, and you need to maintain it because if you lose weight or the fat reabsorbs, you could be left with some sagging. I have a slight amount of sagging from doing fat grafting a few years ago, losing weight and never doing any additional fat grafting (yet). But Korean fat grafting is hard to maintain if you live outside of Korea because you will need to come back every few months to maintain it.

Have you done your forehead? I am worried about the skin stretching in that area after the fat reabsorbs, and I'd hate to have to redo it every few years. Isn't there also a risk of nerve damage and blindness since it's close to the eyes?

Hi Jian after reading Heylo and Dorem's experiences, it is very important that you pick a safe SK clinic for fat grafting. I have only ever had fresh fat grafting and not any stored in a fridge which seems to be the source of infection in one of the articles Heylo put a link to. I had mine done at MVP and DA clinics. Other good clinics are Fresh and April31 for fat grafting but DA and April31 are more expensive. I am very sorry to read of Heylo and Dorem's botched fat grafting. I had no idea it could go that badly. As my fat donor site was from my thighs, I have noticed the facial fat graft is extremely sensitive to dehydration and expands back with rehydration and just gaining 3 lbs in weight makes the face balloon! I have only had one fat graft to my forehead and temples and that has lasted for almost a year and no signs of disappearing. Touch wood. Other areas like my eyelid and mid to lower face needed top ups but hoping it will stay now that I understand how hydration and small weight changes affect the donor fat cells.

They say donor fat will still behave like the fat from the area it was taken from. So if you are the type who when she puts on a little weight, it goes to your thighs first, you can expect to see the same behavior with the donor fat in your face when you put on weight.

I got my fat injection done in 2015 at Grand. I wanted bigger cheek and wanted more volume and dimension on my face. at first, I literally looked like a chipmunk with fat cheeks, so I was regretting my decision, but after 2 weeks, the swelling went down and looked a lot more natural! I think fat graft is one of easy procedure you can get it done with too much burden! I think you should go for it! I still like how it looks!
