Massage after fat transfer one month post op?

July 26, 2016
Asked By:kchoe16 in San Francisco, CA

Today is one month post op from when I got fat transfer for fuller cheeks as well as a jaw reduction. The clinic I went to provided heated massages to reduce swelling once every week, but they always avoided the cheek area and only focused on my jaw. Today was the last treatment and a new employee did the heat massage on the cheeks as well. Would this compromise the fat transfer in my cheeks? I know some doctors recommended massaging fat transfer areas while others do not.
