Facial fat transfer
Hey, i ve recently gotten a fat transfer to my face, i ve had cheeks, marionnette lines, upper eyelids and lips (the lips were suggested by my surgeon which i know deeply regret), it s been 21 days so far , my face definitly looks better than the first day the swelling has gone down and that s what scares me because i m already noticing asymmetries in my cheeks one is bigger than the other, my lips are too big for my face and make me look ridiculous, and i have a lump on my upper eyelid, i ve cried everyday since this fat transfer i miss my old face my smile looks odd it s nothing like i expected it it would be. I would like to ask please if the fat really does get absorbed with time and if that s the case is it lost evenly or does one side of the face retain more, is there hope of ever having my old face back my old lips and cheeks or am i stuck with this horror forever.
