Key takeaways
Facial fat transfer case: severely hollow cheeks with noticeable tear troughs and dark circles. After the doctor's assessment, fat was harvested from the thighs to fill the cheeks, tear troughs and other hollow areas. Before surgery the doctor marked each harvesting and filling site and explained the process, and a full pre-operative health check was completed.

"I really want to get rid of my skull-like face! Hollow cheeks make me look years older..."
My face shape has always bothered me. Both cheeks were so hollow that I looked harsh, and the hollows were so deep people said I had a skull-like face! How heartbreaking. I have plenty of flesh everywhere else, yet my cheeks were hollow enough to hold water... As I got older, for some reason my face lost collagen and fat faster than most people's. Friends I hadn't seen in a while asked over dinner if I'd been ill... and bare-faced I looked like a drug addict! That's right~ this is an inspirational story about how a ghost returned to the land of the living!
Fixing hollow cheeks and tear troughs in one go!
I want a fresh start: give me a full, youthful face
My roommate said that without makeup I looked like a 40-year-old auntie, and she wasn't joking! The worst thing about my hollow face was that everyone assumed I was much older (I'm younger than you, stop calling me big sister!) and treated me like an elder... On top of that, my tear troughs were deep and dark, so I looked like I'd been up all night, and no amount of concealer could fill them. Looking in the mirror every day was so depressing... I couldn't take it anymore! After a consultation at NAISS CLINIC, I decided on fat transfer to change all that!
A tailored pre-surgery assessment: taking from where there's extra to fill where there's less
Performed personally by an NTU-trained plastic surgeon, with reassuring professional care
Before fat transfer, you discuss where to take fat from for your face. After talking with the doctor, we chose the fattiest part of my thighs! My face has no fat, but my thighs have never let me down... Doctor, please take these "natural resources"! Before surgery the doctor drew lots of harvesting points between my thighs and buttocks, and there really was plenty of fat! My legs were marked with many points, and my face with lots of areas to fill. I have to say the doctor was very thorough, explaining what would happen while marking. I was nervous before surgery, but the doctor's clear, professional explanations really put me at ease.
Pre-operative health checks and dedicated testing
I was really nervous about my first surgery, but I had full confidence in the doctor and NAISS CLINIC. From the doctor's expertise to the well-equipped facilities and all the pre-operative assessments, NAISS CLINIC looked after me carefully, and the nurses explained everything in detail beforehand, which put me at ease.
