Can Radio Frequency treatment affect Fat Grafted to face or have an effect on swelling at 3 weeks post?

November 27, 2016
Asked By:alexandrita13 in San Diego, CA

I got fat grafting to lips, cheeks but my top lip still looks very swollen after 3 weeks and 4 days. I just want the swelling on my top lip to go down but not affect the fat, I was wondering if a few radio frequency treatments could help the swelling. Thank u
