What happens to the fat later?

Postby yowurl011 » Tue Mar 11, 2008 3:25 pm

Hello Dr. Lam,

My daugther just posed a question that I will relay to you.

Ok what happens later to this newly found plumpness? Does it migrate south and get droopy/saggy? OMGosh, and what about those ( ) around the mouth will they develop?

Aggh-kids and the what ifs!
:?

Thanks in advance

i put so little fat in to achieve my result that it does not fall or migrate. they are also tiny parcels placed into the right areas so they are truly suspended in the surrounding soft tissue.
