Swelling and Bruising After Facial Fat Transfer / Hematoma

February 21, 2011
Asked By:england.uk in england uk

5 weeks ago I had a fat transfer to the right side of my face to conceal and indentation caused by a growth (nf1), however there was another growth that was cut into and I ended up with a large hematoma in addition to the fat that was transfereed. The area is still very numb and swollen, how long will it be before the swelling and brusing go and is there anything I can take to improve the situation?
