Post-Fat Grafting Surgery Precautions

  • 01
    If you are having fat harvested, please apply a regenerative tape to the harvesting site until the stitches are removed.
  • 02
    It is recommended to avoid applying cold compresses to the fat graft site, as this can lower the survival rate of the transplanted fat.
  • 03
    Please apply a healing tape to the hole where the fat was injected for 5 to 7 days.
  • 04
    Swelling may be more severe around 3 to 5 days after surgery than on the day of surgery. Major swelling will gradually subside within 2 to 3 weeks.
  • 05
    Please replace the healing tape if fluid accumulates (approximately every two days). You may wash your face and shower starting the day after surgery while the healing tape is applied, but please be careful to avoid getting water on the affected area.
  • 06
    To prevent inflammation at the surgical site, please be sure to refrain from drinking and smoking for one month after surgery.
  • 07
    Please refrain from drinking and smoking for one month, as this increases the risk of inflammation at the surgical site.
  • 08
    Intense exercise such as aerobics, swimming, weight training, and sauna is possible one month after surgery. However, light walks can help with faster recovery.
  • 09
    If you are planning a second transplant, it must be performed within 1 to 2 months of the surgery date. Local anesthesia is available for 1 to 2 sites, but general anesthesia may be required for 3 or more sites.
