After Fat Transfer to Face, How Long Can I See the Final Result?

By three months your results should finalize. There are some cases when you will see a bit of rebound improvement up to about 6 months out, as some of the fat cells that survived, but were dormant, become "awake", so to speak. 

I generally recommend at least a week of downtime from vigorous physical activity.

   By 6 weeks most of the swelling is gone.  Somewhere between 6 weeks and 3 months you usually see the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Dear pumpkin84,


Final results of a fat transfer start at 3 months, and really settle after 6 months when we know what fat survives and what does not

You can resume normal gym activities about 2 weeks after

Be careful about losing too much weight because if you exercise too much, the fat in the face will get smaller like it does around the body
