- Fat injections gone wrong! Here are some tips as to why problems happen and what to think about when fat grafting. I like to use tiny bits of fat grafting during facelifts and other procedures like the AuraLyft that don’t require the fat to do all the work. I could talk forever about this but I have to get home at some point!

Delightful analysis 👌 keep it up.
great content!
Thanks a lot for this video! Exactly the information I was searching for 😊. Planning to have a buccal fat removal and was thinking if I can use that fat on my cheeks and under eyes area
“A$$ to face” 😂
So, I'm guessing that the more aware a patient is of how and when their fat grows on your body the better off the patient would be.
When I lose weight it comes off my face and upper body first. When I gain weight I gain on the thighs and hips first, then the stomach and eventually it hits my chest and face.
So I'm thinking that if I were to go for this, I'd ask the physician to use a few ounces of back fat - which is just developing now at 25 pounds overweight . At my optimum weight my face becomes skeletal - hollow cheeked, hollow at temples - completely gaunt and I age 10 years.
This has kept me from going to the gym and working out (which I love doing).
Now I'm thinking I can hit the gym again and lose the weight - ask for a fat transfer from my back to face...and feel a lot better physically and mentally. My knees, hips and ankles will love me for not hauling around this extra weight.
I just had a vision pop into my head. The doc uses hip or thigh fat - I gain weight and suddenly I have a face like a pumpkin. Yeah...I'm not going to forget this video anytime soon.
This was a very informative video. It is definitely helping me to make a more informed decision.
Nice explanations:)
thanks for the apology finally. I was emailing Veronica to help me ever since it happened and all she did was ignore me. That was not fair. I trusted you to help me. You look like you actually care in your videos but your surgical coordinator Veronica could care less.
I hope they fixed the issue for you, not a good reflection of the office
They did not
Very informative! Direct. And easy to listen to. Thank you for educating us! It’s nice to see people like you who actually care about their profession and their patients. Thank you Doc, and may God bless you.
Had fat from waist and thigh put into my lips, under eye, temple, cheeks. Went fine. Still looks great.
How do your lips look ? Do they give the same look as filler ( fish lips which I don’t want) ?
Who was your doctor and where?
@@isisjsbsdi5939 looks natural. Does not at all look like filler lips.
@@wonderingheights US doctor, very experienced, but not in a very large US city.
@@steviesev5749 mind giving his name ?
Always an honest non bias informative video! Nice car x
Second the question on autologous filler gel from blood. Thank in advance for any thoughts on that
After watching tons of videos on this I don't believe facial fat transfer has been done enough over the years to be safe. There are plenty of procedures I am happy with. But not this one. Not this decade.
Dr Talei, what is the best way to treat a lip hemangioma? I have it on my lower lip and because of that my lips look asymmetrical. What kind of treatment is the right one for me? Thanks in advance! 🙂
Dr. what do you think about fat graft to the upper eyelids to fix a very mild "A-Frame" deformity? It can be done in a conservative way?
Hi, what are your feelings on “plasmalip”, or any other lip filler that is 100% “all natural”?
Hello, how can fat grafting under eye can be corrected? Mine grew quite a bit, are asymmetrical and just look horrible!
Merci docteur , vous avez en quelques sortes dissiper mes peurs et en créer d'autres mais globalement je retiens que la graisse des fesses pourrait faire ménage avec celle du visage 😂 que la graisse n'existe pas naturellement dans les lèvres donc faut aller doucement 😅. thanks and good Luck...waiting for another lessons ❤
I'm confused...no fat in lip...then you mention putting fat in lips?
Thank you so much for what you do,
Theresa
Would you recommend RF micro needling to correct overfilled under eyes from fat grafting?
Huh, thanks for all the side effects & details. 'Ass to face is not natural.' 🤣
What questions should a patient ask a provider to see if they are a good fit for fat transfer?
Dear Dr. Talei, I'm considering lipo filling under eyes (micro fat injection done with the canula) . Does micro fat include (alive) MSCs or only nano-fat includes MSCs? I'm sorry if I'm using wrong terms and hope you understood my question. Thank you.
Would you reccomend different doner sites for fat transfer to the face instead of the stomach or hips?
For example taking fat from a double chin - I imagine that this fat would behave more like the rest of the face. Or what about taking fat from other places that only changed a little bit with weight gain, for example the forearms, would that be a good option? Or is it too difficult to harvest fat from these places?
I heard there isn’t enough submental fat (even if ppl have a perceived big double chin)
"If you have problems with fat injections, don't come to me." That's hilarious! 😆
Actually ithat statement says a lot. If this Dr., with all of his expertise, doesn't want to deal with it, it means you have a real problem.
What fat is the next best after buccal?
Is that an Aston Martin
I'm assuming these people who had problems from fat grafting went to well-known surgeons for it. Scary.
Question, so if a fat person gets their facial fat sucked out and use it for fat graft, will it the same as other non-facial fat??
Thank you Doc, can you iced it after face fat transfer?
I heard that you can not ice after a fat transfer. You want the blood flow to help the fat to survive. I heard that it is only a couple days downtime.
As he said, don't come to him. He doesn't answer questions here apparently. I feel I am having issues with the procedures I had done 6 weeks ago. Fat being one, from my abdomen. The other is lumps under my jawline. Wish I'd left my neck alone and just did a V lift there along with face, as my neck wasn't too bad. I feel as though I have swollen permanent glands, more so on one side, under the jaw. I travelled to get it done. I want to cry.
You got it injected in your chin/along the jawline ?
I am planning to do it
Any side effects or complications
@@rishabhgupta3396 No, the fat injections were into small areas of my face. A small amount in my lips too. My jaw needed no extra help as I had a neck lift with the face. A lower blepharoplasty which, I feel, from the seams stitched at the ends of my eyes, that it pulled my upper down.
Would you recommend injecting fillers in the lips vs fat?
He always says Fillers are the best but Juvederm is the worst for lips. It gives the monkey look after a few sessions. He has a video of his favorite fillers. He uses restylane for the lips which are his favs
Do we have fat around the lips?
Who was the Doctor you referred patients to for botched under eye fat transfer ?
He says it in the video
To clarify- how likely are these complications if in the hands of someone who specializes in fat grafting? Particularly the idea of the inserted fat growing at different rates than the rest of the face fat? Is that inevitable or can it be avoided if done right?
I'd say it's impossible to foresee how one ages with time and how genetically the fat cells develop. It differs per person and might also differ with the fat tissue area. However, one (the doc) can avoid to overfill the grafted fat and calculate that it might grow with age.
just my thoughts though.
You honestly should be fine, just avoid overfilling if you are concern, and also ask your doctor when can you start massaging your face after the grafting. And talk to them about the safety procedures they have for fat grafting.
Facial massages aid in the entire clump issue. It hardens when you don’t massage it.
Your facial fat will behave like all other fat you have on your body except it’s on your face. So if you gain weight or eat something salty, it’ll bloat or (and with noticeable weight gain it’ll get bigger, kinda like how my face is like rn and I never even had fat grafting done lol). Otherwise facial fat grafting lifts up sagging skin, and you’ll look youthful. And you’ll continue to age… and as you age, fat on your face depletes again, the lack of facial fat will be the reason the skin on your face sags because the support isn’t there anymore. So maybe a decade down the line you’ll need more done. But it depends on how fast your skin ages facially and if you take care of your skin. So wear your sunscreen and don’t smoke and drink. Try to keep a STABLE WEIGHT. Weight loss on and off also causes skin sag overall when you’re older.
But yeah, honestly it’s a great procedure imo, there’s people who even pair it with face lipo. So they lipo the undesired spots and then fat graft up the parts that’ll rejuvenate them.
Is it possible to use fat from the double chin to use under eye/anywhere else in the face?
I was just about to ask this but it seems we won't get an answer...
I would let you have free reign. I'm confident I would be 100% satisfied.
Me too he’s so good
Help! I’m day 4 after getting fat transfer to my chin. I have a small bottom jaw and wanted more jaw definition. He did liposuction under my chin/neck and did fat transfer from my flanks to my chin. Now I have a wonky smile and can’t show my bottom teeth when I try smile, please tell me this isn’t permanent!? I hate the way my mouth moves now. Does this settle and will I get my old smile back? How long?
Hi how was it now? I had the same experience. The doctor added fat on my chin.my smile became small and the lower lip somehow shrink😢. They said most of the fat on chin will absorb. In 6months time either some will survive or totally gone. I am hoping all will be gone
I am in two weeks post op
It's likely she was still swollen since she was 4 days post surgery. You also swell if eating salty foods.
Dr. I got this procedure and my doctor did not clean fat, he did not purified. He took it from my belly and put it sirectly in my cheeks and nasolabial folds. Fat moved !! Looks horrible and I have now very bad acne. What can I do? Can I take fat away ?
Did the acne go away
What did u do then ?
You probably should go to a person who is skillful and can tell you what safety practices they do with fat grafting. From what I know, the fat can be removed. Just don’t go back to that doctor.
Price of fat transfer?
That’s the new AMG Mercedes SL
Doc I need fat grafting !! What’s the estimate for this ??? Allah yrham lwalidin 🙏🏻
How did we get here as (mostly) women? This guy sits there in his 💲💲💲car and spews off all this information so fast that it’s difficult to fully understand, plus after awhile it starts to sound embarrassingly ridiculous!! I’m a woman of a certain age struggling with this whole aging thing, but all this strategic and confusing anti-aging hubbabalu just makes me shake my head and wonder how we all got sucked in to this ever growing industry. Botox and filler have met my face favorably and not so favorably (the not so has been devastating), but truly, as women, I think we’ve become unrealistic about aging. I wish this doctor, who apparently does not respond to comments after his “know it all with a touch of arrogance” delivery, would perhaps consider addressing his followers about feeling almost guilted into these types of procedures these days that he discusses. I’d love to hear it from his point of view.
How you feel about his industry is not his responsibility, only to know what he's doing and do it well. I understood him fine. Everyone looking to undertake plastic surgery should do research and maybe your lack of comprehension points more to a need to do more of that than him being arrogant. You sound like a Karen.
I'd just LOVE if he'd spend some time answering some of these brilliant questions. NO ONE wants "ass-face".
Is this comment serious? He’s a DOCTOR. This is his expertise wha the 😂 there’s women who are in this field who also sits in their fancy car or home and talks about plastic surgery’s you can get.
You singling him out is ridiculous. Just don’t watch plastic surgery pages. Easy.
@@feyrieexactly like why do these ppl watch surgery videos and then complain? like dont click on it😂
I know right? It feels like a hamster wheel where we are always chasing some type of perfection or at the very least satisfaction with ourselves but we never get there. And thats what the industry feeds on: the illusion that the total satisfaction and near perfection is achievable but in reality it only seems to get further and further the more we chase it. It really is up to us to change that within ourselves, though. It will never be a doctor’s or anyone else’s job to make us feel satisfied with ourselves
A piece of advice: get out of social media altogether if you can. Or at the very least curate carefully what type pf content gets to you. After I completely left instagram, a lot of my insecurities literally went away bc I was no longer being bombarded with photoshopped bodies and filtered faces and comparing myself to them. At one point I seriously considered getting a bbl. Booked the surgery and everything. But it eventually fell through (thank God!) and now it doesn’t even cross my mind anymore.
I gotta do the same with youtube now and curate what type of content I see here.
I'm three weeks out from an upper lip fat transfer and it seems very asymmetrical to me, left side is way bigger than the right. I don't think it's swollen. I think I'm stuck like this. I'm freaking out quite a bit.
Did you contact your care team?
Any updates?
What you are describing is exactly what has happened to me. The trasfered fat in my cheeks have start to live its own life and is now destroying my face, my cheeks getting bigger and bigger. Please help me, is there anything that can be done about this?
/Anna
I’m being real here, the fat will behave like how normal fat does. If you eat something high in sodium you will swell, if you gain weight, obviously the fat cells will expand and your face will look bigger. So start working out. Get toned. If not,
It sounds like maybe you got an overfill if you are describing it to be so massive?
I’m sure if you return to your doctor to explain the concerns, they can fix it for you.
You could get laser, I've heard a lot of people have fat loss occur from laser
How long it take to regrow please?!
What type of laser . Pls tell me
How about fat graft in forehead area?
I wanna know also
Forehead and nose has a higher risk of blindness than other areas, so choose a skilled surgeon
It should be fine honestly. Like all fat procedures like fat grafting to the face and bbl, the danger is fat embolism. This can be avoided if you go to a doctor that is skilled, a doctor that has done many of these and knows safe practices.
If you inject fat into the cheeks (cheek bone area) can it migrate or fall down, in time?
yes, it does unfortunately
Fat grafting permanently adds volume and does the opposite of sagging the face. So it lifts your skin when you get it done and you’ll enjoy it for a very long time…. But you’ll still age, you’re human after all. As you continue aging far down the line, the facial fat will deplete again and this will cause the appearance of skin sag (aka you’re still aging) so the fat isn’t even sagging overtime, it’s the LACK of the fat being present there as you age,the fat is holding things up, so your skin drops aka sags.
So you can either get fat graft again or a face lift or both
Fat grafting mistakes don’t come to you? No reconstructive help?
ᴘʀᴏᴍᴏsᴍ
You're talking nonsense and scaring people with wrong info. I have seen fat grafting done successfully. None of what you have described. :)
Not sure how you are practicing it. Maybe all those happen mainly in your own clinic? I'd avoid you, man..... scary indeed!
PROBLEMS BECAUSE THEY WANNA SELL filler
