I had a fat transfer to my nasolabial folds 2 weeks ago. I noticed it felt bumpy after the procedure and was told that this is normal. It still feels bumpy 2 weeks later and those areas are hard and noticable when I make certain facial expressions. Will these obvious bumps disappear over time?
Answer: Swelling It is normal to have swelling and for things to feel lumpy after fat transfer. After several weeks the tissues soften as the swelling resolves. If the fat was injected to superficially it can lead to contour irregularities, but this is very uncommong. Give your self some time for recovery before evaluating the results. All the best.

Answer: Fat transfer to face
Fat transfer to the face is a common procedure. Nasolabial folds are one of the most frequent places it is done. It is normal to have some swelling and even some induration (firmness) in the area for over one month. It should however look relatively even side to side. If this is not true then please contact your doctor again to be sure there is no problem or infection.
