Asked By:BLB1971 in Fallston, MD

I had a fat transfer to my face 5 days ago and I do not look like myself. I have seen other photo of before and after picture where you can see a slight improvement that would go un-seen. However, I look like a totally differnt person with chipmunk cheeks. I know the swelling can take up to 3 weeks to go down, but my swelling has not gone down from day 1. Please let me know if my pictures look normal.
