It takes several months to see the final appearance after facial liposuction

Hi,

I know it's distressing to think that you'll be left with permanent facial ridges, but try to be patient.  The ridges can the result of multiple factors: swelling, scar tissue, fat necrosis, and skin injury.  All of these evolve over several months.  Your best bet is to wait about six more weeks; if you still fail to have any improvement, you may wish to consider to temporary filling agent (Juvederm, Restylane, etc.).  Once a year has passed, if you still have the deformity, you may need to consider a more permanent option, like autologous fat transfer.  Still, it's still to early to know what, if anything, you'll need.  Your surgeon's advise to massage the area and to use heat sound very appropriate.

Hope this helps.  Best of luck.
