I had fat grafts 1 day ago to nasal, cheeks and eye trough areas. I have allergies that cause itchy nose and I inadvertently rubbed my nose quite vigorously causing movements to the surrounding areas. I am really worried that I might have caused damage to grafted fat cells.

I suggest a formal consultation for this, fat cannot be reversed and most fillers can. there are many differences and these need to be assessed in person. fat cannot contour, fillers can. i often use a combination approach. best, dr. emer.
I have done thousands of fat transfer procedures and never had a nerve injury. However, orthographic surgery has well-documented risks of nerve injury.
This is a great question! As your fat cells are healing and adjusting to their normal environment, it is wise to not introduce changes in the environment which can be stressful. Thus, you've already waited 17 days and I would wait another 2 weeks before getting in a hot tub. Best of luck!
