How long does it take for the swelling to go away after fat grafting?

Women who have had fat implants on their faces will experience facial swelling, which is very normal. The amount of fat implanted and the subsequent care will affect the time it takes for the swelling to subside. If the sleeping position is incorrect, the swelling on both sides of the face will also subside differently. This shows that the post-operative care can determine the speed of swelling subsidence. So how long does it take for the swelling to subside after fat implants on the face?

First, how long does it take for the swelling to go down after fat filling on the face? If the same area does not need filling, but the surrounding area is filled with fat, the unfilled area will also swell, and the accumulated fluid may flow to the unfilled area. The unfilled area will deswell quickly, while the accumulated fluid may accumulate in the unfilled area, resulting in different speeds of swelling. After the swelling in some unfilled areas subsides quickly, the area filled with more will slow down and become bulging. It gives people the feeling that the filling has failed, and there are problems such as unevenness. The ideal effect of fat filling cannot be seen even after one month. Fat filling and any plastic surgery require three months to see the approximate effect. The swelling will recover three months after the operation, which is about 55-70%. If the same part has been fat filled multiple times or people who often undergo facial surgery, the swelling will go down much slower than those who undergo first-time surgery.

Second, the first 4 days after full-face fat filling surgery are the most swollen period. About 10 days after fat filling, the swelling will be inconsistent and there will be unevenness. The amount of fat filling in the same area will determine the speed of swelling reduction. Sleeping posture will also determine the occurrence of inconsistent swelling on both sides. If a part is sunken, more fat should be filled. The swelling of the part filled with more fat will go down much more slowly than that of the part filled with less fat.

How long does it take for the swelling to go away after fat grafting? Generally, the swelling starts to go away gradually on the 4th day after facial grafting. Generally, the swelling will go away by 50%-60% 10 days after surgery; 60%-70% 2 weeks after surgery; about 80% 1 month after surgery; the effect is best 3 months after surgery. Generally, two fat graftings are needed, and the effect maintained after two fat graftings is permanent.
