Fat Transfer to Cheeks

A month later I love how my cheeks look! I’d do it in a heartbeat again, if a person is willing to make it through the discomfort phase in the first week, long term this is much better and more natural than fillers!

I’ve already had my eyes done by doctor Mustoe, and since I loved the outcome and I trust his judgement, I decided to go to him again. It’s only day 2, but I love how I look and I hope the fat stays (I’ll update the review in a month). I haven’t bruised at all, which surprised me. I did use arnica gel and I follow a strict diet, but I expected more bruising to be honest. Maybe it’s because I’ve only had fat transferred to my cheeks (I considered tear trough at some point, but gave up since I hoped that elevated cheeks could somewhat fix that problem). My thighs are still sore, but no bruising there either. I apply ice regularly to my donor spot and massage with arnica gel, but so far it looks like a mosquito bite. I read somewhere that it gets worse on days 3 and 4, but who knows… I didn’t put ice on my face though, I’ve only let cold water run over it for 3minutes every hour when I’m awake. When I am asleep, I keep my pillows elevated. All of these things must have helped with bruising being minimal, and I was sleeping a lot, but what probably had the biggest impact was the fact that I only did my cheeks and nothing else, so I didn’t require as much fat taken out in the first place…
