Facial Swelling and Bruising After Fat Transfer to Cheeks, When Will it go Down?
I'm 5 days post from a fat transfer to cheeks. I'm incredibly swollen. bruising is moderate but my face is so distorted like Im cat woman. Had a post op yesterday,told I was at the peak of swelling,should be going down 10days. This is the 2nd transfer Ive had and 1st one hardly any swelling but it was combined with another procedure under GA which is why my current dr said I swelled so much with all the multipule passes of lido. Should i have this micro-lipo out or will it go down in a few days?

Fat transfer will go down
Five days is too soon to even start to worry about the results unless it is too small already. THe swelling will take a couple of weeks to go down. Don't even try to evaluate the results yet. Keep us posted.
