What's the burning feeling after Fat Transfer? When should it go away?

February 18, 2014
Asked By:jpo818 in San Fernando Valley

I had a ETT & BBL (fat transfer to hips as well) 1 year ago and from time to time I feel my right hip get hot. It doesn't feel hot to the touch, it just burns a bit inside. The feeling is very sporadic. Not painful per say, uncomfortable. What could it be?

How does high blood pressure affect facial fat transfer and it's ability to attach to new capillaries?
Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD says:

There is no medical evidence that any changes in blood pressure affect how well fat grafts take. This is certainly true for high blood pressure where perfusion pressures are high. It may be different in low blood pressure but then one would have other more important problems.
