Dear M,
i had fat grafted into my face 7 days ago, and i STILL look like a freak! i do not look like me at all. i was beautiful, but being 41, i wanted a little "filler" under my eyes, between my brows, and a tad on the nasolabial folds. my dr wanted to put some in my lips too, so i let him. I woke up with fat huge cheeks, huge lips and a gorilla brow! it has been a week and i am depressed looking at myself in the mirror. i miss what i used to look like. i feel ugly now. what should i expect?
PS you were always beautiful and never needed anything. trust me.

Wow :), finally you have your own blog (just added to my rss feed list)!!!

Christine,

Do not worry :) There is normally a lot of swelling associated with fat grafting. Having had f/g twice, I assure you that it does subside--unfortunately. In fact, you may wish to have more put in when it's all over and done with.

This pic is from 3 days post my last f/g on April 12. I barely had any injected at all.

Please let me know how your recovery progresses and check back in to give me an update :) I'd love to hear how you are doing.

Also, thank you so much for your compliments!

Marco! How are you doing, my dear? It is so good to see you here :) I haven't been checking my other email as much since I started this blog...and admittingly obsessing over my next jump.

When will you be gracing Beverly Hills with your presence? We can go play spot the boobjob on Rodeo :p

Hi M!
thanks so much for the comforting words and the pic!
wow, your lips were very swollen afterwards too! i looked like a duck. :)

well, it is now 2 weeks after f/g, and swelling went down more, but i still have fat cheeks. it is kinda depressing because i loved the way i looked before. i just wanted the hollows under my eyes filled in, not fat cheeks. do you think it will go down much more after this? i am actually looking forward to it going away, believe it or not. I think next time I'll just to Restlyn under the eyes.

Hey, i am visiting my sister next week in Vegas! i told her all about your site. it would be nice to meet you in person if you're in town.

Honestly, I was still swollen after f/g to my cheeks for more than 6 weeks. but I liked it, fortunately. Although it made me sad when it all dissipated :( At the 6 week mark after my first f/g was the golden moment that I always struggle to achieve again.

I would still not worry because the swelling with f/g can hang around for a while. It will get better :)

I am going to LV Wednesday through Friday. But I'm in LA after that...

Hi M!
well it is I, Christine again. It has been 6 mos since my f/g and ALL the swelling is gone, but the fat is gorgeous! i love it! Thanks for keeping me sane while I was freaking out. :) I will keep checking back to see what else you're doing and what I should expect for my future endeavors.

See! Don't you just love it?? I am so glad to hear you are happy with your results :)))

I just has some Resty and Juvederm injected and am thrilled. I am about to go get a little more though.

Thank you for checking in with me :)
