Healing From Fat Grafting
It is important to note that during a fat grafting procedure that you will have at least two treatment areas, the targeted area in your face, and the incision where the fat cells were harvested. The initial swelling from the surgery will often disappear within just a few weeks. As the face is allowed to heal, your results will continue to improve. Many patients see improvements over the course of the healing process.
Patients are often able to resume applying makeup and return to work within a week. At about the same time, your doctor will allow you to resume exercise and your normal life routine.
As with any surgical procedure, there is a possibility that you will have an infection or an adverse reaction to the procedure. If you notice any significant swelling or bleeding, contact your surgical team immediately so they can evaluate your healing process.
