I slept on the side of my face 3 days after fat grafting, will this ruin my results?

February 27, 2017
Asked By:ucdavisgirl in Los Angeles, California

I had fat grafting to my cheeks done 3.5 days ago. Last night I accidentally rolled over and slept on one side of my face/cheek. My face looks okay, still swollen and bruised, but I am worried I damaged fat cells and will see the effects a few weeks from now. Any thoughts or advice would be helpful. Thank you!
