How long should one sleep on back with head elevated after full facial fat graft?

Usually a week is recommended, but I advise following up with your Doctor about their protocol for sleeping after facial fat graft. Swelling is typical after fat transfer and can last 3-6 months. I recommend prp and/or sculptra, depending on the area, to help improve final results. Icing the area, predisone, ibuoprofen and venus legacy treatments can help reduce swelling. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Every surgeon is different, so you should speak with your surgeon about what his recommendations are.

I tell my patients they can sleep on their back or side whenever ti is comfortable for them.They may have swelling on one side if they sau sleep on their right side but it will go away.
