since day 1 i had a small lump under my right eye after fat graft, its been 7 days now and the inflammation has gone down but the lump hasn't, its even a little bit more noticeable . right after the fat graft it was less noticeable because of swelling and now it looks bigger and more defined, and a little bit harder to the touch.

Answer: Fat transfer results--add prp You may still have swelling and it's too soon to tell what your final results will be. It can take up to 3-6 months to see final results after fat transfer. I recommend prp to help improve final results. Icing the area, prednisone, ibuprofen and venus legacy treatments can help reduce swelling. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Lumps after Fat Transfer There is always significant swelling for a few weeks after fat transfer and that tends to be very visible under the eyes. The lumps you see are a combination of the fat transferred to the area and the swelling associated with the procedure. Until all the swelling subsides it is difficult to evaluate the final result. Keep your follow up appointments with your surgeon and share your concerns. Your surgeon is your best support system as they know specifically what they did during the procedure and can best help guide you through this post operative healing. It may be helpful to know that most people feel that things were "overdone" 2 weeks after fat transfer surgery only to be very happy once the swelling resolves at 2 months.
