How are fat cells affected from rhinoplasty incisions?

Hello and thank you for your question. The incision from Rhinoplasty should be completely unnoticeable with time. There should not be any significant damage to fat cells in that incision or an incision to harvest any type of fascia whether that is mastoid fascia or temporal fascia. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
