By 6 weeks, you are seeing much of the final result, but it may take 3 to 6 months to realize a stable result. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Dear mariaz1994, A fat transfer to the face can take 2-3 weeks to heal and for most of the swelling to come down The final results are apparent by about the 6 month mark Best regards, Nima Shemirani
First choice in my opinion is cheek implants to get more definition and angulation in the midface. Eventually would remove the buccal fat pad.
I would begin massage therapy and take a swelling supplement such as Swell-X to reduce the swelling around the face. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles
Not certain why a massage is needed. Certainly applying too much pressure could kill the fat graft and/ or displace the at to an unwanted location. See your plastic surgeon to get specifics on his/her protocol.
