Fat graft done yesterday. Will the swelling go away?

Question

Jan Zemplenyi, MD · Answer

Thank you for posting your question. At one day post-op, swelling is completely normal and expected. After any procedure, you body needs time to heal and adjust to its new shape. What you see and feel now is unlikely to be your final result. Please be patient as swelling can last for several weeks. Best of luck.

So wait for 6-12 weeks and then you will have an idea of what you might get as your result. One day is no time at all. Patience is the key for patients in plastic surgery, but as is normal, everyone wants to open their presents straight away Hope that helps, Adam Goodwin

It's only one day, of course the swelling will completely subside. How long will depend on how volume was added, when the fat was placed and the condition of your skin and soft tissues. Talk with your surgeon about your concerns.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Swelling after fat grating can take a while to settle. It depends upon how much was performed and where it was placed.
