2 weeks post fat transfer to a chin dimple and now it's already returning. Advice?

March 18, 2018
Asked By:jayk47 in Massachusetts, MA

While there was the swelling you could not see the dimple at all. The plastic surgeon told me over a few months some fat would go away. It's only been a few weeks and my chin dimple almost (not completely) looks the way it did before in certain lighting. What do I do. I paid good money for this and it is disheartening to see it return after just a few weeks.
