Question

Can application of topical steroid cream to the skin on the face negatively impact fat transfer, chemical peel, and/or cheek lift results?

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

It will all depend how frequently, how soon after surgery and for how long you will be using corticosteroid cream. It does affect healing to a certain degree. This is something that you have to discuss in detail with your surgeon and Dermatologyst. Good luck.

Most likely, the use of topical steroids should not have much effect, but I suggest you contact your provider. Opinions may differ.It also depends on the strength of the steroid cream, and how long you’re using it for.Most likely you should be fine.Best,Mats Hagstrom MD
