Asked By:Zoe1127

it has been a week since i had pearl fat grafting for upper eyelid hollowness. right after the surgery my doctor told me not to apply any cold or hot compress on the grafted area. now my eyelids are still swollen and it feels lumpy. should i apply hot compress and massage the grafted area? will this affect fat graft survival?
