How long does it take to apply a facial mask after fat filling?

Everyone loves beauty. Naturally, after having plastic surgery, everyone will take better care of their face. Especially after fat filling, try not to touch water for the first period of time to avoid postoperative infection and abscess. It is best to wait until recovery before applying a facial mask.

Surgical results

Autologous fat is a commonly used filler for cheek augmentation. This method of cheek augmentation focuses on facial restoration and represents the development trend of facial rejuvenation in the future treatment field. Autologous fat augmentation of the cheeks increases the volume and fullness of the face, bringing about a shift in treatment paradigm, making the face look younger and more natural.

Risks of surgery

Since the fat particles need to be taken from the patient's own body, the side effects of autologous fat particle injection and transplantation for cheek augmentation are relatively more, as follows:

1. Infection: There is a possibility of infection during surgery, which usually occurs 5-7 days later. If infection occurs, seek medical attention promptly.

2. Hematoma: There is a possibility of bleeding during surgery. If the coagulation function is impaired due to damage to small blood vessels during surgery, hematoma will form. Anticoagulant drugs are prohibited before and after surgery.

3. Itching: You may experience itching after the operation, which does not occur frequently and will gradually subside.

4. Skin ecchymosis: After suction, the local potential wound surface is larger, and too many cavities will cause blood exudation.

5. Skin necrosis: Surgery may cause local skin necrosis.

6. Local skin unevenness: Generally, it can be adjusted by itself 3-6 months after surgery. If it is not yet perfect, you should be admitted to the hospital for corrective treatment.

7. Subcutaneous fluid accumulation after liposuction: caused by poor venous return.

8. Lipoma formation: due to the accumulation of fat cells under the skin.

9. Fat liquefaction: Too much fat tissue is injected, or the fat tissue naturally aggregates into lumps after injection, resulting in the failure of the injected fat to survive, causing fat necrosis and liquefaction. If fat liquefaction occurs, you need to go to the hospital for puncture to extract the fluid, or negative pressure drainage.

10. Fat absorption: After fat particles are transplanted, part of them will be absorbed by the tissue, and multiple implantations are required to achieve better results.
