Facial Swelling
by CB522, Nov 05, 2006 12:00AM
Had fat transfer to cheeks and mouth area 8 days ago. Swelling and hardness to entire face continues to worsen, at this point am unrecognizable. Had same procedure done 18 months ago with little swelling. How long will swelling continue to worsen? Did MD possibly overfill to the extreme and if so is there something that can be done to reverse overfill? Thank you!!

procedure 18 mo. ago, CALL for answers! Swelling takes time
depending on procedure if more was done or different area of
injections. You paid alot so get monies worth & demand answers
or appt. The hardness is confusing. Is skin texture getting
stiff to touch or is it just tight & firm from swelling? I know
they liqufy fat to inject but maybe you are suddenly rejecting
it if it became contaminated somehow. Even air/rm-lighting can
alter cells. Record/journal daily & take daily photo of face
at different angles. Show at appt but keep copies. Just in case
you need to seek a new MD or have records for recourse. Be nice
but insistant. Offer to email photos for consult. I've never
had anything done but thought this would be completely safe.
Consult also w/ family Dr for possible bloodtesting for any
possible infection if you don't get resolution. You need service
for what you paid for. Get back to us & share so others can
know what to expect. Best luck to you.
