Fat grafting: Post-operative instruction

Fat grafting is a procedure 

that unnecessary fat harvested from thigh or tummy 

is grafted into flat or depressed area 

so both effects as excess fat removal and beautiful profile line 

can be achieved.

Major swelling develops between 1~3 day,

and subsides within 7~10 days.

Subsidence of swelling after 2 weeks 

should not be mistaken for fat resorption.

Pressure or impacts on the graft sites must be avoided

to prevent any irregularities on the skin surface. 

Smoking, drinking, facial massage or hot bath 

should be avoided during the first month.

Small redness(1~2 mm) on donor sites is 

an indication of normal skin reaction from surgery 

which gradually disappears within 3~6 months. 

Today, we talked about 

the post operative care treatment of fat grafting.
