Will small volume fat grafting cause bruising or swelling?

Question

So if one is having facial fat transfer (beautifill fat transfer) and has a small amount injected say 2-3 ml per cheek what is the risk of bruising/swelling to the face? thanks :)

Hi there, with any sort of filler treatment, there is always risk for bruising and swelling, but this often subsides within a few days. For a small-volume fat transfer, the risk is minimal. This will depend on individual factors like skin sensitivity and the technique used, which will be discussed during your consultation with a certified injector.
