My friends always commented that I have a sunken face, i. e. the lack of fat volume.
I have a rather slim body but also unfortunately a rather sunken face as well. I made up my mind to put on some weight to be able to maximise the fat graft surgery. After the surgery, I wasn’t too swollen but felt myself looking more three dimensional and not so flat at the face area.

Could not have imagined someone so slim to have such a cutesy chubby face After 90 days I went back for a fat graft top up after 3 months, filling up in areas which were more quickly absorbed previously.
After 29 days My surgery became natural after a month. With a simple fat graft surgery, I felt my appearance looked so much better than before. After 5 days 5 days after surgery, my swelling was still obvious as you can see from my eyes.
