Precautions after fat transplantation

I believe that you rarely hear about fat transplantation in your daily life. In fact, it is a kind of cosmetic surgery. It is a procedure that involves taking excess fat from one part of the body and placing it in another part of the body that needs fat. Because during a transplant surgery, the body will reject foreign substances. Therefore, fat transplantation for plastic surgery can improve the safety of the operation. However, you need to take good care of yourself after the operation. The following are the specific precautions after fat transplantation.

1. After facial filling, reduce activities as much as possible to facilitate recovery and reduce swelling, but there is no need to rest in bed.

2. Take normal rest. Rest is the best way to repair yourself.

3. Pay attention to the care, cleaning and protection of the affected area to avoid external force squeezing the wound and surgical site. After facial fat filling surgery, antibiotic ointment should be applied to the incision. If it is exposed without bandage, there may be a small amount of bleeding. Just wipe it gently with a sterilized cotton swab. Do not touch the wound with unclean objects to avoid contamination. Take antibiotics for three days as ordered by your doctor. After the operation, the cheek area should be bandaged with pressure for about a week, and the surgical area must be kept clean.

4. On the second day after the operation, it is best to use an alcohol cotton ball to clean the wound, wipe off the blood scab on the surface of the wound, keep it dry, and remove the stitches 5-7 days after the wound heals on its own. After facial fat filling surgery, try to avoid making rich facial expressions and exaggerated movements as much as possible. Also, note that within one week after the surgery, the operated area should not be exposed to water, and do not massage or squeeze the operated area with your hands. It is forbidden to take medicines such as vitamin E within one week after the operation, and seafood, tobacco and alcohol should be avoided.

5. There will be local soft tissue edema for a period of time after facial fat filling surgery, so do not eat spicy food or irritating foods. You can apply cold compresses to relieve edema within 1-2 days, and consider hot compresses after 3 days. Do not use anticoagulants, and do not use blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing foods or drugs for the time being. Be careful not to laugh loudly or squeeze your face hard within 2 weeks after the operation to prevent local deformation.

6. If you experience any discomfort or problems after filling, please seek medical attention promptly. For daily care, please follow the instructions of the clinician.
