I'm 8 days after fat grafting to male chest. I'm a bodybuilder and didn't like the result. Can I reverse the fat grafting?

Question

Will starting strenuous workout routine and massaging help to dissolve the transferred fat?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I'm surprised you had fat transfer to your chest, I'm always removing fat and defining the fat and glands for bodybuilders.  You can liposuction out the fat but I suggest waiting a few months. The end results can take 3-6 months to be fully apparent, you are only 8 days out and will be very swollen most likely.  Exercise and massage won't change the results of the surgery you had by much.  Have you had a previous surgery?  I wish you the best, Dr. Emer.

Timothy Connall, MD, FACS · Answer

Please discuss this with your surgeon.  The results in the first weeks, and even months, after fat grafting do not reflect the actual long-term results.  There will be significant swelling, bruising, and other issues early on.Best wishes.

At 8 days post op you are undoubtedly looking at swelling and cannot judge your final result.  I am more curious why you had fat placed on your chest unless treating.  a complication from a previous procedureDr Corbin
