I got fat grafting done in my forhead and cheek area about four weeks ago. Now I am interested in skin tightening and acne treatments. I want to do IPL, fraxel, microneedling, facials, chemical peels, Ulthera, and other treatments but I am worried that the heat or something else might dissolve or have some kind of negative effect on my fat grafting. How long should I wait till it is safe to do these kind of treatmemts so it wouldn't effect the fat in my face? Thank you!
