Massage after fat transfer?

July 25, 2017
Asked By:lululusan in Chicago, IL

I had fat transfer 10 days ago and I remember doctor said not to massage the face as it might cause fat to absorb more but there's an awful lot of swelling in the jowl area and I wonder if it is okay to massage just the jowls?
