Swelling after fat transfer rapidly increases to a maximum 2-3 days following the procedure. Head elevation, icing, bromelain, arnica, low salt diet, no bending or lifting all helpful for most to decrease swelling.#fattransfer
Thank you for a great question and for sharing your experience and photos. Your swelling appears typical for one day out from the procedure...it may even worsen over the first 2-3 days and then progressively improve. Share your concern with your surgeon. I hope you find this helpful.

Thank you for your question and photos. Swelling after fat grafting and Vaser is normal. The swelling should improve after 3-4 days and the residual swelling may persist for 2-4 weeks after the procedure. If the swelling balloons up and becomes more and more asymmetric, that is abnormal and that may be due to a hematoma/ infection and you should seek medical attention immediately. Best wishes!
Swelling after Vaser and fat transfer is very common. Cold compresses and head elevation during the first 48 hours will help.
I suggest a formal consultation to see what is best for you. In some ways you may need filler to reshape your face or botox to change the jawline shape. But you may require surgery (buccal fat pad removal) or implants to restructure. Best, Dr. Emer.
I suggest a formal consult this can be camoflaged by fillers, it can be injected with kybella to remove it or liposuctioned, possibly surgically removed if it is a large lump/granuloma, or injected with steroid/5FU. This needs a formal assessment.
I suggest seeing a facial contouring expert who treats a lot of men. In my practice we often do a small amount of fat transfer and PRP and then touch up with fillers. It is best that you find someone who is conservative and does a lot of men and lips. Best, Dr. Emer.
Thank you for a great question and for sharing your concerns. Fat transfer can be done to address areas of hollowing and volume loss. The majority, but not all the fat takes, and that fat can be permanent although it will age with you as does our original facial fat. I hope you find this...
Thank you for a great question and for sharing your concerns. Fat transfer can be done to address hollowing under the eye. Fat transfer can be technique dependent, and while lumps are possible they are uncommon in experienced hands. I hope you find this helpful. Best wishes!Consult...
