Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
I Have a Dent on the Center of my Forehead, How Can This Be Filled/corrected?
Forehead Fat Transfer
Aug 30, 2017
I have transferred fat to many patients foreheads, being careful to not cause an unnatural appearance. I am currently working with our military to correct cranial facial deficiencies. Dr. Coleman
Do Cheek Fat Injections Dissolve if I Lose Weight?
Cheek Fat Transfer
Aug 30, 2017
Fat transfer is permanent. I have patients who had face fat transfer over 20 years ago who have retained the fat that was transferred. A significant weight gain, or loss can change the way a face looks, but the fat transferred will remain.
Dr. Coleman
How Much Does Fat Transfer Cost for the Face?
Face Fat Transfer Costs
Aug 30, 2017
The fees vary between patients depending on individual needs. The more areas, the longer time under anesthesia in an operating room. Fat transfer around the eyes, the most delicate area on the face, takes longer than other areas. The cost typically starts around $12,000. Dr. Coleman
Treatment for Sunken and Hollow Eyes?
Fat Transfer for Hollow Eyes
Aug 30, 2017
I have treated many twenty somethings for under eye dark circles and hollowness. See the link below for a patient who came from Italy to correct loss of volume and dark circles. Dr. Coleman
How Much Does Fat Injection Cost?
Face Fat Transfer Costs
Aug 30, 2017
The cost is customized to the patients needs based on how many areas are in need of treatment. The cost are considerably higher than filler because he patient must be in an operating room, under anesthesia. The minimum could be as low as $6,000. Dr. Coleman
Fat Transfer for Under Eye Hollows
Dark Circles
Aug 30, 2017
Fat transfer can improve pigmentation. I have patients who were coming for loss of volume around the eyes, but showed a remarkable improvement in lightening the dark circles around the eyes. Dr. Coleman
What are the options for my nasolabial fold?
Fat Transfer
Aug 30, 2017
Fat transfer is a permanent treatment to correct nasal labial folds. I have been transferring fat for loss of volume since 1994. Dr. Coleman
Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
Breast Fat Transfer
Aug 29, 2017
I transferred fat for breast augmentation to my first patient in 1994. That patient remains to this day a patient in my practice with beautiful permanent results. I perform this procedure regularly for women who want to shape as well as augment their breasts without the use of implants. Dr. Coleman
Fat Transfer to Breasts – My doctor says they can get me up 2 cup sizes. I am about 5’4 107 lbs a
Harvesting Deformities
Aug 29, 2017
I harvest all the fat from multiple areas, evenly by hand with instruments I created to give the best results in the harvested areas. In my experience, using power assisted liposuction, can damage the fat compromising the permanency of the transfer and potentially leaving the “dimpling” you have seen on other patients. Dr. Coleman
Breast augmentation with fat grafting: how long do the results last, and how much fat is retained
Fat Retention
Aug 29, 2017
I pioneered a permanent fat transfer technique. The “Coleman” technique is known all over the world and practiced by most fat grafting surgeons. My retention rate is about 85% of the refined fat remains permanent. Final results can be seen at about 4 months post op. Dr. Coleman
I still have significant bruising under my eyes after fat transfer. It has been 7 weeks post-op.
Fat Grafting to the Lower Eyelid can result in prolonged bruising or pigmentation
Oct 14, 2016
The skin of the lower eyelids is the thinnest in the human body. Through that thin eyelid skin, bruising can be especially obvious after fat grafting. As the bruising improves, it gradually changes colors may result aa brownish tinge. I like to describe it as “tea staining”, since it looks tea-colored. It may resolve in a few weeks, but can persist for even a few months. “Tea-staining” of the lower eyelids after fat grafting is not unusual. Wearing glasses…
