The Recovery Process After Facial Fat Injection
Deciding on a natural rejuvenation with facial fat injection is the first step on an exciting journey. One of the most important stages of this journey is the recovery process after facial fat injection. Many patients report that this process is comfortable and quick. Our goal is to explain the process clearly, alleviating your concerns and ensuring you feel prepared for every step. As a specialized health tourism agency, AVO Clinic not only organizes your surgery but also provides professional guidance and support throughout your recovery.
Immediately After the Surgery: The First 24-48 Hours
Upon recovery, it is normal to experience some mild tenderness and swelling in both the donor area and your face. Rest is your top priority during this period.
- Swelling and Bruising: Mild swelling and bruising may occur after the surgery, but these will subside quickly.
- Care: As recommended by your surgeon, you may be asked to rest with your head slightly elevated to reduce swelling and, if necessary, apply a cold compress.
First Week: Observing Rapid Recovery
This week is the period when recovery is most rapid.
- Return to Social Life: Swelling and bruising begin to decrease significantly. Patients can usually return to their daily activities within a few days.
- AVO Clinic Support: During this period, the AVO Clinic team closely monitors your condition. You can easily contact your consultants with any questions you may have.
First Month: Results Become Visible and Aftercare
As your recovery progresses, the new contours and fullness in your face begin to become more noticeable.
- Facial Fat Filler Post-Care: During this period, it is important to avoid applying pressure to your face (such as lying face down) to ensure optimal adhesion of the injected fat cells. Detailed care instructions will be provided to you.
- Fat Cell Adhesion: The body absorbs some of the injected fat cells as part of this process. Your surgeon will plan the procedure based on this expectation.
Long-Term: Enjoying Permanent Results (3-6 Months and Beyond)
During this period, your patience will be rewarded, and the final and permanent results will fully emerge.
Permanence: After approximately 3-6 months, the fat cells that have attached to their new locations are now permanent. This is the clearest answer to the question, “How long does facial fat injection last?”
- Improved Skin Quality: Thanks to the stem cells contained in fat cells, you will notice a visible increase in the quality, radiance, and elasticity of your skin during this period.
