Swelling can last anywhere from 2-4 weeks. In some people it can last even longer. You should discuss your concerns with your PS as you have already had the procedure.Best,
Swelling really varies from person to person. It usually subsides during the first week but can continue for a couple weeks beyond that. If you are concerned, visit your plastic surgeon.
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
Hello and thank you for your question.I'm not sure basedon your question if you've had the fat transfer or are inquiring about it.

I recommend that you see a boardcertified plastic surgeon in consultation to get more specific answers to yourquestions which can best be addressed after a thorough history and examinationis performed.Best of luck to you

Chubby cheeks after fat grafting seven months postop is probably permanent at this time. I have been doing fat grafting for 35 years and what you see at six months is usually what is there. This can be revised with surgery and fat removal.
Fat transfer is same as fat grafting. Fat is taken from one part of the body (example belly or thighs) and injected into another site on the body (example face, hands, breasts, buttock).
This will create an issue of immunogenicity and rejection and should not be attempted.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
Hi DJ, I believe that your perioral area can be addressed with filler, properly done. You are seeing muscle that is more prominent because of loss of volume in the area. I would not recommend fat transfer at this time. It is a tricky area to correct so please make sure...
