Swelling after fat grafting to the face and lips.When will I see me in the mirror?

Thank you for a great question and for sharing your experience. Fat transfer can certainly result it significant swelling and bruising initially, but this will resolve, and you will see yourself again!  Share your concerns with your surgeon as they can reassure you having seen other patients go through the a similar process.  I hope you find this helpful.Consult with a Board Certified Fellowship Trained Facial Plastic Surgery Specialist."This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion.

Swelling and bruising goes along with fat transfer procedures and usually peak 2-3 days following the procedure then slowly goes down over days to weeks.
