This was a question that I answered for a patient who had a Fat Transfer procedure by another doctor.

You might need a touch up to place more fat in the area that is depressed. Or you can remove the fat that is above and below which may be more difficult. You should discuss this with your surgeon. He will hold your hand so to speak through this and help you get the best results.

Touch ups are usually less involved and will take less time.  Sometimes the more elevated areas above and below could be due to swelling that will come down.  Patience is required in this case and it may get better with time. Your surgeon will be the best to counsel you on this. Don’t worry, it can be improved.

I refined an amazing volumizing procedure called “the YoungLift”.  This is an innovative technique that volumizes your face to bring out the younger and natural you without looking like you had something done.  This is not a facelift and requires no incisions.  Only pinpoint puncture sites are used and these heal imperceptibly.  The YoungLift can be done without general anesthesia and without drains, and large bandages.  You also have a lot less downtime and discomfort compared with traditional facelift procedures.  Dr Young employs the very best techniques from around the world into one volumizing procedure and he uses his internationally acclaimed understanding of facial beauty to create the youthful volume you once had.

Dr Young is located in Bellevue near Seattle, Washington
