Male, aged 36. I am thin, so I’ve had substantial volume loss. I want fat transferred to nasolabials, teartroughs, upper and lower cheeks, and a bit in temples and glabella. I’ve read that using facial muscles as little as possible after the procedure is paramount to proper neovascularization of the lipocytes, and so diet needs to be soft and talking/laughing kept to a minimum. When will I be able to safely talk, emote, yawn and eat in a normal manner? How about brushing teeth? Thank you.
Answer: Using Facial Muscles After Fat Transfer Thank you for your question. I do not give my patients much restriction in animation after fat transfer to the face . A softer diet will likely be more comfortable for a few days. You may feel tight in the areas where the fat was injected. I don't recommend practicing your facial comedy routine for a few days, but other than that you should be able to go about business as usual.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Expressive Facial Movement After Facial Fat Transfer I would avoid facial massage for one month, but talking, chewing, making expressions and performing the other activities you inquired about will not affect the outcome or take-rate of your fat transfer.

Answer: Smiling and Brushing Teeth after Facial Fat Transfer Although exercise limitations may be helpful to minimize swelling and bruising, It is safe to talk, emote, yawn, smile, frown and eat in a normal manner as well as brushing teeth immediately after surgery.

Answer: Fat transfer and movement After a fat transfer, the fat needs to get blood flow to survive. With all techniques, a % of the fat will resorb. Using the facial muscles will not impair the survival rate for the fat. So you can eat, talk, laugh whatever. You may feel tight in certain areas depending on where the fat is injected.

Answer: How soon can you smile after a facial fat transfer ? Good question, I get asked this a lot and I perform many cases a week. I don't have any specific restrictions except for not undergoing a facial or facial massage for a few weeks after the procedure. Normal facial movements should not affect the longevity of the fat, and you can expect up to 1/3 of it to go away regardless of what you do. Certain areas take fat better than others, for example, the cheeks and under eye areas hold the fat the best.
