thank you for your questionthat transferred to the face or eyes came cost anywhere from 2500 up to $5000. Depending on how much fat is transferred and how much of the face is treated swelling can be moderate lasting 3-5 days or if the entire face is treated the swelling and bruising can be very dramatic and in some cases take up to 2 weeks to resolve.I will see very clearly about my own practice that many of my patients are quite swollen and bruised for anywhere from 10-14 days and to some degree of bit more. In my experience much of the fat resorbed and goes away early on necessitating a generous transfer of fat volume for the best long-term resultsI will attach a patient's post and description of their experience which I think you will find very helpful.Chase Lay, MDDouble board-certified facial plastic surgeon
