Hello. What is the normal timeframes for swelling resolution? I had fat graft to cheekbones 11 days ago. They looked too enormous immediately and still do. However, it’s the rest of my face that concerns me. My lower face and under chin is really swollen. Is this normal, and how long will it last? Cheekbones fat grafting has given me a double chin I never had - what?!
Answer: Swelling after fat grafting The swelling from fat grafting to the face typically resolves over 6-8 weeks. The worst of the swelling improves over the first 7-10 days and the remainder goes down over the following month or so. We expect about 30-40% of the fat to "go away" after a fat transfer and the remainder 60-70% to retain as permanent.

Answer: Swelling after facial fat grafting Fat grafting in the facial area can frequently cause a great deal of swelling and bruising. Most of the bruising usually resolves in two weeks , while the gross sweling within three to four weeks. It may take several months for all the swelling to resolve. The lower face and chin swelling should start to diminish fairly soon. Ask your surgeon what post operative care they recommend for best results.

Answer: Facial Fat Grafting Reversal -- 5FU/Steroid, Kybella, Venus Legacy/Exilis Ultra, Ultherapy/Thermage; avoid facial liposuction Fat takes 3 months to settle down. There is no permanent reversal to fat grafting unless its surgically or liposuction removal. You can try steroids + 5FU + hyaliuronidase with or without RF treatments like venus legacy and exilis ultra to get improvement. I suggest you see an expert for an evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer.
