Fat Grafting-Bilateral Cheek Fat Injections - Sugar Land, TX

how is your face a month out? did you have a lot of bruising? or just swelling? would you do it again?

The swelling has finally gone down, although I get flare ups from time to time, it seems like the swelling is more apparent when I just wake up but tapers off as the day goes by. I really like the results, I had a post op visit today and he said this is my final result, although I might need a touch up in the coming months. Im pretty satisfied with the outcome. I had no bruising whatsoever, just intense swelling, it looked like my head was replaced with a balloon for the first week but after about day 8 or 9 the swelling got down to a point where I didn't feel self conscious out in public. But being in the public eye for the first week was pretty unavoidable since I made the stupid decision to have the procedure done less than a week before going on vacation to Reno to visit family....O..M..G, it was torture. I was getting awkward looks and raised eyebrows from practically...everyone, I wanted to die. I ALWAYS underestimate the recovery time, im really stubborn. I wanted to go back to work the day after my rhinoplasty..no joke. But all in all, besides the first tortuous week, im pretty happy about the surgery. Just a word of advice for anyone planning on doing this--Do not even think about going to work or being around big crowds for at least a good week or even longer, your face will look disfigured. I learned the hard way.

Yes, I have thought about adding volume to the upper portion of my face. I wish now, that I would have told him to go ahead and add some more to that area because im sure he had plenty of fat to work with, but I held back for some reason. Oh well, my cheeks look better.
