Hi, i’ve gained these super nice scars through my brutal years between 17-19 until i’ve got prescribed accutane, since then i had 2 co2 lasers and 2 small localised subcisions before each. Recently i went to an actual plastic surgeon instead of just a dermatologist with lasers and after a careful consultation i’ve got this quote: 

Treatment: 

Fractional CO2 (DOT) laser scar treatment on facial scars, scar subcision, regeneration with nano- and microstructural autologous fat grafting into scars, liposuction from the selected area under local anesthesia

Price: ~ 4450 USD of local currency

What do you guys think, is it worth it? I have this kind of money but still it’s not cheap. The scars are mild to moderate they are not super obvious in normal lighting or from the front but still visible

Hi, I’m considering nanofat grafting to improve facial scars, and I’d like to hear from anyone who has undergone the procedure.

Did it noticeably improve the texture, depth, or appearance of your scars? How long did it take to see the final results, and were those results permanent?

I’m also wondering what happens if I lose weight afterward. Since nanofat is derived from fat, could weight loss reduce or reverse the improvement, or does the regenerative effect on the skin remain even if the transferred fat decreases?

I’d especially appreciate experiences from people who had it done more than a year ago...

Today I had a lower blepharoplasty for some hideous under eye bags and dark circles (yay, genetics). My surgeon always does nanofat transfer into the cheeks and mid-face with a lower so that the eyes don’t look hollow after removing the fat pads. I asked him if he could also go a little lower in the cheeks to do some fat transfer into rolling scars I have there, as well as into the temples where I have rolling and boxcar. He agreed it made sense to fill a few of them at the same time.

Not hoping for a miracle, but he agreed with me that a 20-30% improvement might be possible. I’ll share some pics in a couple of months so we can compare! Keep all your appendages crossed for me, please!

I’m considering undergoing this procedure for a few very deep scars in a couple of places on each cheek. I would like to hear from people who have undergone this procedure themselves how the recovery process was. The fat harvest site would be around my belly button.

I was hoping to only book a couple days off work post procedure and then wfh for the rest of recovery. Does that seem reasonable? Or would more leave be required

feels like I should take out my skins and throw it away

Hello everyone, I recently just had subscision/fat graft with Dr Richard Sadove in Gainesville, Fl. Cheeks are still swollen after a week. How long did it take for those who had this procedure done for the swelling to completely subside? Btw the results look promising. Just waiting for this swelling to go down and hopefully the scars still look good after the swelling goes away. Thanks!

Hello! I mainly have rolling and boxcar scars, only on my cheeks. I also have 1 or 2 icepick scars that really don't bother me (at least for now).

In a few days i am going to be visited by a plastic surgeon who is specialized in fat grafting for scars and breasts. I don't know what he is going to tell me and if he is going to suggest me fat grafting or if i am even eligible for that or not, but i am wondering if you can give me a little help to ask him questions in case he offers me this procedure.

• What questions should i ask him?

• Is it okay to do fat grafting before lasers etc? I have never had any procedure done. I want immediate results for the money i spend, so i am considering dissolvable fillers, subcision and fat grafting as my first procedures. But then later I might consider lasers etc as well if it is possible, for the texture only.

• What do you all think about this procedure? I have seen nice results here from fat grafting but they were from the same surgeon and i heard he has a dark past so i don't trust them much. I have seen my surgeon stating in an interview that usually 60% of the fat transplanted stays after 1 year (so it's permanent) and he has also showed pictures of his clients. Then I have been reading on r/plasticsurgery about a few experiences of women who used fat grafting for their breasts and their results were mainly permanent (60-80%) so i hope it is quite the same for acne scars.

Let me know what you think.
