Female, 32, 5’6. 10 years ago I did a facial fat transfer with the groin as the donor site. Although ten years have passed, whenever I eat anything salty my face swells up and it takes a couple of days for the swelling to go down. Is there anything i can be doing to prevent the swelling? Is this normal? Its been ten years
