Posted under Facelift q&a

3 weeks post op Facelift/ Fat Transfer, I have asymmetry of my cheeks. How long do I have to wait to be symmetrical? (photo)

gardenesse
I am concerned that when i put my hair back for dance class, the slight asymmetry of cheeks will be apparent and tip off my eagle-eye classmates about my surgery. I do not want to broadcast my procedures to the world. If i wait another week to go to class, in your experience will things relax a bit more, or would i have to wait a full three months for my cheeks to become a bit more symmetrical? Or could i possibly lose more fat unevenly during that time. Thank you for your response.
