I am 40. 2 months ago I had a facelift and just before surgery the doctor suggested fat grafting to the periorbital area, to which I said yes, the biggest mistake of my life, as my face now is overfilled. 1st week after facelift I developed infection at both surgical sites (ears) and in the 2nd week sudden bleeding ending up in hospital for a 2nd surgery. It was a terrible experience! My question is if the survival of fat was negatively affected as this is my only hope it will be reabsorbed soon
