Buccal Fat Replacement Options

Postby tams07 » Sun Jan 18, 2009 6:48 pm

Hi Dr. Lam -

You have done fat transfer on me (September 2007) and OF COURSE, I come to you for my Botox and lip injections. I love everything you do!! Mistakenly and stupidly, Buccal Fat was previous removed and I see a hollowness when I look in the mirror. To me, I would need an implant, Artefill or quite a bit of fat injected in this area. If you draw a triangle from the outer edges of my nose (top of triangle) and move outward towards the jaw, this is the area I feel has lost volume, to include upper lip area. This area does not appear soft but, has a more stern appearance. I would prefer a softer jaw line and fuller areas between the chin and back of jaw.

You looked at it right after my fat transfer and said to wait and see how the effect of the fat transfer on the other parts of my face. Can I come back in and have you look again? Patience is not my strength so, forgive me, if I am being overly anxious. :cry:

Thank you!!

sure, come on in. let me take a look. as far as i remember about you, i think buccal fat will not make you look good. but let me see you in person and take photos to make that decision. adding a little more fat is easy but i want to make the right decision for you.
best,
sml
