I had fat transfer to my face 5 days ago and I'm still unrecognizable. I'm very scared and I hope I look normal soon..... What can I use to help the swelling go down? Ice, Preparation H? I'm having doubts that I even did it..... Are they removable?? I'm starting to panic :( When I smile, I feel them in my cheeks and they're so big!!
