Too much fat from fat injections

A lot of volume from fat injections in the 10 day peiod is swelling. Many of the fat cells will not live so the volume will vgo down aver the next few weeks to months. Be patient and don't do something aggressive too soon.

Fat grafting to the face

You are only 10 days post surgery. You are probably very swallen, and the final result will be 6-12 weeks. If you need any revisional surgery you have to wait for 3-6 months before considering any revision. It seems You were not psychlogicaly ready for surgery and the change. Do not make another hasty decision. Discuss your concerns with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, for advise and treatment
