Left side of my face perfect, soft. Right side lower cheek is swelling with a large hard lump. Today (2week post op) my upper cheekbone (undereye) is hard/ swollen. I looked better 5 days post op than now. 1 week post op I had a dexamthazone shot, which helped, I had another yesterday, now worse. I sleep up right, I take 800mg of Ibporfen, I was told not to use ice, it melts fat. I use warm, but can't tell if it makes it worse or not. My dr is very experience in fat transfer, but not helpful now
