It's not without risk. I was left with permanent scar tissue under one eye. Not on the skin, but underneath where the cannula/needle was inserted to place the fat. That was many years ago and although it's better than it was, it's still visible.
I wonder if the needle could be inserted by the temple/side of under eye when inserting fat, to prevent noticeable scar tissue? I’m thinking of having this done, but worried it won’t turn out the way I want it to. 😮
I underwent under eye fat transfer ..the doctor was in hurry and injected numerous fat lumps .lumps are nt visible now bt I can easily palpate them. Now I need surgery to get them removed
Really interesting, and very comforting that he's not an early adopter. There's always a cutting edge, but you only have one face. Also interesting that he noted a decline in surgery, but that's clearly the most durable intervention: expensive, riskier than injections, but also a bigger payoff.
Thanks Val. ❤️ Back home again now (just took us a few days to get the edit turned around 😁) but we had a great trip. We must have done about 25k steps a day!
@@JoolaJen I still haven't done anything as of yet other than a little bit of botox in the glabella. I personally won't be doing any filler in the under eye and if I ever have the guts and the money to go to a reputable surgeon like Dr Karam, I think I will still be very scared of fat transfers because of the possibility of vascular occlusion. I'm now leaning towards energy devices to tighten the face but again some of those can lead to fat loss and on my research journey I have found that much of the information out there is opinion based and it really depends on what physician you're asking. The contradictions in terms of the information available is dizzying and making my head spin and I really don't know what direction to Go in. So for now it's just moisturizer sunscreen and trying to limit stress and caffeine but the latter 2 are very difficult to do right now LOL
Very interesting interview. Thank you for your continued research in all things aging. Personally as I am looking at the women in my life, I think the ones without any (surgical) interventions age the most beautifully. I find it sad that we are normalizing Botox and fillers as just part of aging. Thank you for all the informative content!
@@thehonestchannel I really like Ivan Galanin’s (Adipeau) take on the whole fat transfer idea. I feel like the cosmetic industry is always looking for ‘quick fixes’ rather than approaching it from the foundational function of our bodies. Injecting things into places they don’t belong is just another way they sell “solutions” for which there are no long term studies. And just like he said - fat cells remember where they came from. Our bodies are so much more complex than even doctors realize. Thank you again for tackling all these interesting subjects. Blessings
@@birdlover7776 I know plenty of women that have aged absolutely beautifully without any surgical interventions, or even Botox or fillers! Myself, and all the women in my family included. I invest in myself daily - I invest in my spiritual and my physical health. I invest in self love and self acceptance. Superficial things are just that - superficial. The industry again offers a ‘solution’ rather than addressing the problem. And - just because our society and the “beauty” industry is normalizing injecting ourselves with whatever, does not mean that it actually makes people more ‘beautiful’. If anything, I’d think it creates an avalanche of more self confidence issues, as the quick fix fades and they will always want more.
After doing it twice, I absolutely do not recommend this. Fat transfer is highly unpredictable and it lumps! Do not inject into lips or even into lip lines. Filler may not be perfect, but it absorbs and can even be reversed.
Did you get fat transfer in other areas of your face, like your cheeks and eyes? My only hesitation is that I'll lose more than 50% of the transfer. HAs didn't work for me.
@@ginany3565 I got it into the lips and upper eyelids, both a disaster. With the lips, what didn't dissolve literally migrated up above the lip. It ends up lumpy and uneven. Yes some does dissolve, I'd say closer to 40%, I wish it all dissolved.
I had fat transfer to my lips and I have a big upper duck lip. It changed the look of my face and not in a good way. I am so depressed. I have to find someone to correct this. I don’t know if anyone is willing to fix this. I was attractive before this. Now I’m embarrassed to be seen.
Video suggestion: threadlifts for people who are too young for a faoelift. So who have good skin, no wrinkles but a little sag or jowl. Which threads are best? I know they don’t last for years but if they last a year it seems like a nice option to try
Good suggestion. I did explore threads a little in this video but neither of the doctors I was talking to rated them: Procedures we wouldn't have, from Sculptra to buccal fat removal and thread lifts th-cam.com/video/JJu92mgB8cI/w-d-xo.html
You have to repeat (about) every 1,5 year, so its expensive over time. The only ones that do lift are from aptos the ones that have „hooks“, you cant sleep on the side, stomach. One side can break and you will have uneven face. Its painfull to. Lastly-you will get fibrosis and surgions hate this, your future surgical gace lift will be more complicated/expensive.
Great interview and very informative. The only area I wish that was discussed is in regards to asymmetry and percentage of times this happens when using in the cheek area. It would seem to be a high percentage since there is a possible 50% chance of the fat not taking which then in turn seems more than likely the amount of loss/maintained probably would not be exactly equal in each cheek.
Great discussion!! No procedure is without risk. If you're considering fillers, they have risks too! I would trust a doctor over an injector, personally. There are great injectors out there, but they do not have to have much experience or education, certainly not as much as a doctor, which is a little unnerving to me. Always check credentials and look at before and after pics to ensure that you like the aesthetic of the practitioner.
I had consultation with aplastic surgeon about this facial fat transfer, he said it doesn't solve laxity that you have to be very conservative usually combined with a face lift he said if you harvest the fat from the abdomen it still behaves like abdominal fat and easily increases if you put on some weight more so than normal facial fat does, the impression I got was that it should only be used very sparingly so I'm guessing if you are under 40 it may be ok for facial thinness but after 40 it is best combined with a facelift, the fee for anyone interested was1660.00 per treatment I'm guessing that's per vial of fat as a daycase under LA some surgeons may cost more a facelift is between 10k up to 30k depending what you have done I was quoted £16k for facelift upper and lower blepharoplasty 1 overnight stay in hospital under GA Wilmslow hospital it will be much more expensive outside of NW of England I know that one surgeon does facelifts under LA in Birmingham it was 6k on my quote for the hospital fees alone 🎉
Would love to know more about Renova to stimulate fat; the was Sculptra stimulates collagen 😀 Thank you for your thoughtful research and interviews you bring to this channel 💛
Can you please give an estimate of facial fat transfer in dollars. That question and anaesthesia you didn’t ask the doctor besides healing process and hospital cost.
I was somewhat overfilled and I fixed it much cheaper with simple deep hifu and a device called accent prime! They are less invasive too then Morpheus and Facetite (looked at those options too). Needed a couple of sessions, like 3 from both.
@@thehonestchannelyes hope it helps others. I researched everything for months!! In the cheeks you can’t do a lot but these options are safe, effective and don’t break the bank like Morpheus and FT
Thanks so much for providing this information. Looking into ways to minimize any fullness that may occur once I go into menopause. I have hollow cheeks I’ll like to bring fullness to. Was also told sculptra could provide results but would prefer trying my own fat first.
@@nvb455thank you so much for sharing this. I am looking for a solution and I am really depressed about my results. May I ask on which areas you dissolved fat and more details about the machine used? Do I understand correctly that there are many HIFU devices out there?
Thank you so much for providing this info. I am overfilled and depressed. Would greatly appreciate it if you could let me know the name of the HIFU device (there are so many out there) if you know it. And also how long did it take to see results? (Ie the fat melting). Thank you so much in advance!
It would be good to see photos of people with successful fat transfers 18 months out, 2 years 3 years. People say that these are not available. because the fat disappears in most if not all recipients.
They proposed it too to me... To me not worth the 3weeks in a elastic bandage you cannot remove... He told me i have to sleep sitted not to make it move!!! Sounds like a nightmare and the possibility to repeat it. No thanks you for it
If infection were up occur as a complication post fat graft , How is infection treated ? Will antibiotics take care of it ? What happens if fat necrosis occurs ? Thanks Also do they graft on the forehead ? Can you please do a follow up of the above questions ?
6:17 So you’re saying that nano-fat is used on softer areas, like around the eyes or nasolabial folds? You’re saying this is because it distributes more smoothly & decreases the risk of getting irregularities. If we decide to do the fat transfer procedure, I wonder how we can ask our surgeon if they will be using nano-fat for these areas. I also want to know if they’re harvesting the fat properly, and implanting it properly, so that the fat will have as little chance as possible to die off. These things are essential for a successful procedure, yet it’s hard to tell what you’re signing up for when picking a surgeon. That’s the part that makes me the most anxious.
good point! when i look into surgeons, i am going to want a play by play of the procedure (including adipose tissue collection and technique). if they aren’t open to this kind of conversation, i would say that’s a huge red flag!
19:09 I’d also like to hear more about the exosomes. Although fat is said to have stem cells, I worry that it might not be enough to allow the fat to assimilate with the area of the face where it was transferred. If fat was taken from the belly, and then transferred to the face, wouldn’t that fat grow & shrink in the same way that the belly fat does when the person gains or loses weight? I’m concerned about lumps of fat being formed if I gain or lose weight, and my face ends up looking disproportional. So, I really hope they figure out the stem cell technology, and make the fat transfer procedure more reliable & with fewer risks involved.
I am so happy I found this video. This is the only one I have found discussing reversal of fat grafting. I was overfilled around the eyes area both up and down and I would like to try Accutite and MORPHEUS8. The problem is that from my research, I have found that any plastic surgeons that have these technologies in my country have only recently started using them in their practice. From your video I understand how important it is to select a good practitioner so my question is how I can find this practitioner. How can I make sure that I am selecting someone who knows what he’s doing? Are they supposed to have gone through certain training and have certain certificates or certain number of years of experience? I would greatly appreciate it if you could please let me know your thoughts on this matter. I would travel abroad for this so comments for UK or any other countries are welcome. Thank you so much in advance.
Sorry to hear you’ve had this experience. I think it’s a case of finding a highly reputable cosmetic specialist closer to you, who comes recommended, and with who you could discuss options.
Such a shame for people who end up having problems. With every procedure there’s always the potential for harm. It’s so important to choose an experienced practitioner but that’s not always easy.
Once again a very interesting and comprehensive video. Me personally , I’m never getting HA again. It started lumping up and I had to get it disolved. And after a a few years, still small lumping that I can’t get rid off. I’ve been using PRF since. I’m looking for maybe fattransfer for next year. So considering the fluctuations i’m thinking getting grafted from a ‘fat retaining area’ like maybe bra bulge. Wonder if that is possible /good solution. Also I’m wondering about my age
@@thehonestchannel not sure if I will finally have the procedure. Plli remains another option. But thanks to this video I know what to ask or be mindful for when I go for consultations
@@shermans8236please keep us updated. I’m finding it very difficult to locate a surgeon that does fat transfer to the lower lids. Only a couple on TH-cam and they are charging insane amounts.
Would love you to ask if fat transfer can be done in droplets close together right underneath the forehead skin, to address the thinning of that skin all the way over the forehead. This bony area looks so flat and harsh as we age.
Hy i go for fat grafting for full face i have deep acne scars.i see my scars improved but i lose the shape of my face totally which i don't like it so my question is this should i go for hifu for face conditioning and after how long we can go for Morpheus8 aftar fat grafting?
I had fat transfer in my lips done by a board certified plastic surgeon and I ended up with a big duck lip. I’m SO depressed. It changed the whole look of my face in a bad way. It also caused the marionette lines to look more prominent. I need to find someone to correct this.
They asked me 9.000€for a single fat transfer procedure. .. I don't know. The downtime bothers me.. 3weeks no sport. 20days toldme not to sleep on the side of the face, not to move it. Can get lumps. I dont know
I had a good look at facial fat transfer a couple of years ago and the starting prices were 7-8k for a good London surgeon,and they're not much different,now . Further north, you're looking at 4k+ . Lipo is a pretty pricey procedure,anyway .
I know that in the north it's about £1660.00 per treatment with a consultant plastic surgeon not inc the initial consultation fee but likely very much more in London , I recently had a consultation for this in Cheshire spire hospital, again it can also depend on the surgeons and hospital fee this was under LA so less hospital fees and was a day case
@@thehonestchannel Indeed . I spent a long while chatting to a surgeon about fat transfer (who I actually went to for a rhinoplasty consult(although I didn't choose him for that)) , so I satisfied my curiosity and concluded that it was expensive, invasive(the lipo bit) ,with results too fickle to justify the cost . Mind you,I know a few people that have zero noticeable results from Sculptra,too,and the cost of that soon mounts once you start having 3/4/5+ sessions . I guess with anything that's *so* dependent on the body's reaction, it's always going to be a bit of a lottery .
Yes and no. Is more safe to go little by little because the outcome is unpredictable . Yes is pricey. But you know that from day 0. Is an elective surgery. You have the money for...or not. No mystery there. Personally , I prefer to do it by bits and avoid bad surprises ( having to dissolve some "chunks"after - that costs 💰 also !- ).
It's not without risk. I was left with permanent scar tissue under one eye. Not on the skin, but underneath where the cannula/needle was inserted to place the fat. That was many years ago and although it's better than it was, it's still visible.
I wonder if the needle could be inserted by the temple/side of under eye when inserting fat, to prevent noticeable scar tissue? I’m thinking of having this done, but worried it won’t turn out the way I want it to. 😮
I underwent under eye fat transfer ..the doctor was in hurry and injected numerous fat lumps .lumps are nt visible now bt I can easily palpate them. Now I need surgery to get them removed
That happen to me too. I had fat transfer in 2012.
How s the downtime afterwards? Painful i guess...

You would need to have this conversation with a specialist who can assess your skin and suggest what would be most helpful for you.
Dear can you please do a video for open pores dry skin in 50s with a dull skin.
try niacinamide and tretinoin.

Thank you Edmund
I had fat transfer in my lips done by a board certified plastic surgeon and I ended up with a big duck lip. I’m SO depressed. It changed the whole look of my face in a bad way. It also caused the marionette lines to look more prominent. I need to find someone to correct this.
So sorry to hear this.
Do you know anyone who does work to fix an upper “duck” lip from a fat transfer? I’m so distressed about this.
Would love to hear more about exosomes!
It's collected from humans.
Didnt work for me lasted 2 months
Sorry to hear that.
This is my primary concern. HAs did nothing for me and was gone after a month. I think fat transfer would disappear because my weight fluctuates.
Which procedure didn’t work...fillers or fat graft??
Plzz do reply...😢
can it cause arterial blockage like fillers when injected in the nasolabial area because of the arteries present there
This is public service👏
Thank you ❤️ So glad you found it helpful.
Does hyperbaric oxygen therapy cause the fat to reabsorb more rapidly?
Great question!
Is facial fat grafting a permanent treatment????
They asked me 9.000€for a single fat transfer procedure. .. I don't know. The downtime bothers me.. 3weeks no sport. 20days toldme not to sleep on the side of the face, not to move it. Can get lumps. I dont know
It's certainly a lot of money. Big decision.
What is the post op? I have heard s bad???
Can you put in marrionett lines?
can you reccommend any reasonably prices for the in the uk please?
The British Assoc of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons have a helpful search tool here baaps.org.uk/patients/surgeons/
I had a good look at facial fat transfer a couple of years ago and the starting prices were 7-8k for a good London surgeon,and they're not much different,now . Further north, you're looking at 4k+ . Lipo is a pretty pricey procedure,anyway .
@@Lehanorah1918 Ooft!
I know that in the north it's about £1660.00 per treatment with a consultant plastic surgeon not inc the initial consultation fee but likely very much more in London , I recently had a consultation for this in Cheshire spire hospital, again it can also depend on the surgeons and hospital fee this was under LA so less hospital fees and was a day case
@@thehonestchannel Indeed . I spent a long while chatting to a surgeon about fat transfer (who I actually went to for a rhinoplasty consult(although I didn't choose him for that)) , so I satisfied my curiosity and concluded that it was expensive, invasive(the lipo bit) ,with results too fickle to justify the cost .
Mind you,I know a few people that have zero noticeable results from Sculptra,too,and the cost of that soon mounts once you start having 3/4/5+ sessions .
I guess with anything that's *so* dependent on the body's reaction, it's always going to be a bit of a lottery .
Seems a lot to go through for the sake of vanity.
Now im scared my face is going to get fatter than i want it to if i get fat from my abdomen in my face lol.
It usually comes down to the skill and experience of the surgeon involved.
Home RF caused lip lines and marionette lines
What is the name for that guy pls
Dr Westreich - details are in the description
he suggested "underfill" so u do 2 surgeries and pay double... he want to make more money to pay his expensive NY rent LOL
Yes and no. Is more safe to go little by little because the outcome is unpredictable . Yes is pricey. But you know that from day 0. Is an elective surgery. You have the money for...or not. No mystery there. Personally , I prefer to do it by bits and avoid bad surprises ( having to dissolve some "chunks"after - that costs 💰 also !- ).
All these corrective procedures would not be necessary if people didn't rush into fixing their faces in the first place! Sad.
There are various reasons why ppl choose to get a fat graft on their face. We never know ppls stories.
