Okay, I saw a local doctor and he mentioned that he could make an amazing difference on my face doing fat injections in my upper cheek. I have that "lost alot of weight" sorta drawn look. I don't have wrinkles or really feel I need a face lift but this would be amazing.

I asked him about the other injectables (botox etc etc) and he said your own fat gives much more natural results AND is less risky in terms of complications.

What say all of you that have had anything like this done? Did you get bruising on your face and how long did that last?

Never done it BUT I would be happy to be a "fat" donor. =)

I've had lip injections and just 1cc made a difference. It hurt for a couple days, but I'm sure transplanting might be done a bit different. I've thought about doing fat transfer in my lips. Have you seen any befores and afters regarding that procedure?

CowgirlJane,

I have had Artifill injections in my cheeks and Juvaderm injections. I did get bruising but everyone is different. The Artifill I had in my cheeks was several years ago and it is still holding up.

I think using your own fat would be much better. I'll eventually end up getting the injections again--AND have to deal with the sunken cheeks yet again.

Good luck,

Kathleen

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
