Answer: Fat grafts with facelift stable after a couple of months In general fat grafts in the face are stable after 2-3 months, though in some cases it is longer before the final results. UV light is a carcinogen so I am pretty sure all plastic surgeons will advise against that.

Answer: When are the transplanted grafts firmly safe It is common during a facelift procedure in some individuals to graft fat obtained from somewhere into areas such as the cheekbone region. Just like other type of tissue grafts such as skin grafts or bone grafts, fat grafts need circulation to survive. The body will ultimately grow capillaries that will hook up with the fat cells to nourish them. This takes time. Usually there is some early circulation at around 85. However, this is quite fragile. Excessive motion in this area and other tissue changes associated with healing can interfere with this. Smooshing your face into a pillow could do some harm. Fat that has survived 3 to 6 weeks is probably likely to survive in this region.
