Fat Transfer in Los Angeles, CA

Recovery in the recipient area is generally quick and relatively painless. You may have some redness and swelling around the injection sites, but this should resolve within a few days. You may also notice a change from the initial appearance, but this is normal as your body heals and grows accustomed to the presence of the transplanted fat.

The donor site may require more care to allow the incision to heal. Some swelling and tenderness are expected, but this should be easily managed with cold compresses or over-the-counter pain medication. After you have recovered, improvement should be readily visible. The treated area should be noticeably fuller and more healthy-looking, while the donor area should look slimmer and more refined. Your results depend on how much of the fat your body accepts in the new location. On average, your body will accept about 80 percent of the fat permanently, and remove the rest naturally.
