How long did it take for all of the swelling to go away after facial fat transfer? Was your face uneven until then?

is there swelling after fat transfer to face

Hang in there.  I know it is hard to be patient especially when your face is so visible.  I had a face lift with my first fat transfer.  My black eyes didn't start to fade until 6 weeks after surgery.  They were finally gone after 2 months.  I thought they would never go away.

 

Have you used guaze strips dipped in ice water around your eyes.  This can help reduce swelling as well.

 

Thank you Misty H. I'm running to the store for some pineapple. :)

Hi Brooklyn1975

Hang in there...I am no doctor, but from my experience swelling can last quite some time.  To help reduce my swelling my doctor recommended me using Arnica Montana pills which are available at most nutrition stores.  Arnica should not be taken by people with high blood pressure.  My surgeon also recommended putting hydrocortisone cream on the area as well.  Eating pineapple is also supposed to help reduce the swelling. You might want to check with your doctor before doing any of these things.

From my experience ridges and lumps are normal and can also take a while to go away. I know it is hard to be patient, but hang in there, results take months to be known.

Good luck.

I am almost 4 weeks post op from lower bleph and fat transfer. I am 37 years old. Still quite swollen around the eyes, especially the right one. The swelling seems to be stretching my eyelids laterally, giving me a 'lizard' look. And the fat has become hard on one of my temples. I can see the channels of fat through my skin. Every day is a little better. I hope it resolves.

Hi aging beauty -- I've heard of swelling lasting a few months. Here are some reviews that talk about swelling.

How are you doing now? Have you had any improvement at all?
