I had fat transfer to the face 1 month and 4 days ago and a hard lump appeared under my left eye 3 days ago. It’s painful and the skin is red. What should I do. It looks like the inflammation is getting worse. I took an ibuprofen and put warm compress but it didn’t do anything.

Answer: Problem one month after facial fat transfer That amount of inflammation and redness is highly abnormal. Please call your dr. right away. Tell them you're having an emergency and you need to be seen today. If you can't get a hold of them and find out who is covering for them or if you can't get a hold of anyone you may consider going to the emergency department. Surgical infections rarely happen this late but this looks like it could be infected and it may be a good idea to be evaluated and possibly start antibiotics. What you describe sounds like fast necrosis but it rarely causes that amount of redness. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD

Answer: Red bump Call your doctor RIGHT NOW. You should not be wasting time talking to people who have never seen you and cannot see you now.
