My lower blepharoplasty with fat transfer to tear trough/ lower eye socket and upper cheek pad was done exactly two weeks ago. The eyes are 90% back to normal without swelling, but the facial swelling is huge and makes me unpresentable to public still. How much longer do I need to sleep sitting up with head elevated through the night to minimize swelling? My lower cheeks are so swollen, I look like I have just had 10 root canals at once.

Answer: Post fat transfer recovery of face It depends upon the extent of bruising and swelling you had immediately after the procedure. There may still be some swelling particularly in the lower part of the face due to gravitation. At the same time it is possible that you have more volume of fat as doctor mentioned. I suggest which may sound different, is to sleep in a flat position, if it is swelling it will be redistributed in the face if not then chances are you have more volume of fat then required. Even in latter situation the fat will resolve but do inform your surgeon so he can assess well.
