What is the Best Way to Heal After Facial Fat Grafting to Protect the Cells? (photo)

April 8, 2012
Asked By:MargMilpitas in CA

I had 2nd Facial fat grafting in a series of 3. What can patients do to help improve fat vascularizaton? For instance, can some sleep positions help, or gentle postop massage or warmth? What immediate postop and additional advice can you offer? Diet? I wore a stretchy fabric face support for 2 weeks, but I also had a modified face-lift with a slightly longer incision than the "short scar" lift. I'm at week #4 & the swelling has subsided (I would have gladly kept some of it!) Thanks
