When should I see the final results from fat transfer to cheeks?

August 31, 2014
Asked By:Curious_Inquirer in Toronto, ON

I had small amounts of fat transferred to my cheeks (8 cc in total: 5cc in one cheek, 3cc in other cheek) and am currently 3 weeks post surgery. Most of my swelling is gone except for some swelling near my upper left lip and left nasolabial fold. What surprises me is that I don't see increased fullness in either cheek now that swelling is down: Is that normal? Does the fat need to settle down before it "takes" and I see the fullness? When can I expect to see final results?
