I've actually prepped fat and assisted with grafts before. It's a difficult process to keep the fat viable for transfer. Fat is sterile obviously however breaks in sterile technique can lead to infection, and since there can be several steps in the process the risk is higher than say, juvaderm which comes pre-packaged. For example, the Mycobacterium species listed in one of the photos is know to be transferred via exposure of surgical tools to tap water. I am assuming that is where the infections come from. Maybe poor hygiene of the incision site as well.

I would ask the clinic how they prep the fat and make sure you have a clinic really attentive to sterility.
Yes I remember now. In 2017 I had fg to my upper lids at mvp and accidentally washed my face right after surgery with tap water. I completely forgot and in the morning woke up with a red infected lid on one side. I panicked as the antibiotics I was on were not helping. As I had also booked a full face top up with DA I mentioned this to Dr Kim and he added IV antibiotics intraop which helped clear the infection. So this year for fg I did not throw water on my face and just cleaned gently and not over the insertion sites...no infection. Here is a photo from last year of my lid infection.

Ms. O - I really need this surgery. As u can see my eyes looks tired all the time and dark circle around with a crepey skin. The upper part of my eyes looks hollow, the eye balls looks sunken (not sure how if I describe it correctly), unlike yours u have some fats on there that makes your eyes looks young and so fresh.

Im just anxious since the fat will be injected in the eye area that it might cost something that will make me blind.

Can u still remember which part of the eye are did the dr injected the fats? Did he do both your upper and lower eye areas? Also, based on your previous post, I guess the fats came from your thighs?

Im thinking if eye lift will be a better and safer choice instead.

Scared sh*tless about taking too many antibiotics. Several studies have shown the more you've taken in your lifetime, the higher your risk of Alzheimer's not to mention building a resistance to them. When my appendix ruptured I had no choice but now if I can, I don't take them even when they are prescribed. Was not going to take any in SK. SK doctors are of the mindset take them, just in case and hand them out like candy or lollies, IMO.

I’m the same! For my last three fat grafts, I didn’t take any of the prescribed antibiotics coz I’m so afraid of over burdening my system!
 
Today's post is on getting blonde highlights post surgery to enhance your new look. After diy home kit bleach disasters I picked a brazilian hair salon in London to go blonde as the head stylist and her assistant both had blonde highlights and they looked amazing. It cost £60+tip.

Having worked out that I must only use the rear camera on my Samsung to get a true image, here is my true image but using Han Ye Seul's pose, ie tilt head and cover one side with hair. Wow instantly slims my wide face especially as my right cheek is wider than my left. Will try out this look tonight in public. OH's reaction was oh gawd. How long is this going to last? Maybe I should tape my hair to cover my right cheek as I cannot walk around with my head tilted to get the hair to fall over my face? lol. First photo is facing the window for best day lighting and second is indoor lighting which makes the blonde hair more yellow. I prefer the way the blonde hair looks in daylight.

Hi @MOTTY26 I chose fg to my upper lids as they were hollow with age. Volume loss is best replaced with volume as opposed to a lift and for upper lids, fg in experienced hands is more permanent than dermal fillers.

If you enlarge the photo of my eyelid infection you can see the punctures where fat was injected...in the eyebrow and below the eyebrow laterally.

Now for the beauty mode on the S9. Wow looks like the after for zygoma reduction. I am happy to pay £60 x 6 per year to stay blonde and use hair to reduce my zygoma by 1 cm on each side which is cheaper than $7000 zygoma reduction and $4000 for plate and screws to be removed a year later. Think outside of the box to achieve clinic afters and don't fall for beauty mode selfies!

Today's post is on transformations. Some transformed by going blonde (pics 3, 5), one with the power of makeup (pic 4) and others with plastic surgery. But none had zygoma reduction and instead used fat graft (pic 1) to lift the jaw and increase volume so the zygoma no longer protrudes or cheek fillers to lift the face! Thus far I have tried the power of makeup, fat grafting and now gone blonde. :smile:

Are antibiotics prescribed in the USA after fat grafts? I've heard Korea over prescribes meds but someone also posted pics of infections after fat grafts which destroyed their skin and tissue so I'm wondering what the right course of action is.

For fat grafts when you see B/A pics, try to find out when the after was taken, the real test for fg is how it looks 6+ months down the line.

Good point @Gats. Fat grafting afters look amazing but then it absorbs over time so 1 year afters would be better to see. Also I would highly recommend girls take their prescribed antibiotics post surgery.

Yup totally agree. My fat grafts always looked great the first two months, then started disappearing after that.

Oh I had my grafts in Korea! I’m from Singapore, and the practice here is also for Doctors to prescribe antibiotics after a procedure
