Will Steroids for Inflammation Harm Fat Transfer Results?

May 30, 2010
Asked By:Tabrizi in Peoria, IL

I had fat transfer injections into cheeks 8 days ago. Will taking steroids for inflammation this close to transfer harm it? I have noticed the fat going away quickly since I started the anti-iflammatory medicine yesterday. It is Methylpredinisolone tablets @ 4mg (total 21 tabs to be taken over 7 day period).
