How much pressure affects recent fat grafts? And how long before vascularization?

inactuality
I just had a 2nd round fat transfer 3-days ago. Today my 5-year old nephew briefly leaned onto my chest with his hand for a moment. Wondering if this level of pressure would have any adverse effect. Also wondering how long before I can return to my desk job and how long before vascularization begins. Thanks for your help.
