Dr. Sam Lam Plastic Surgery Forum

Hi Dr Lam,
I had full face fat grafting the first week of July and then a touch-up in mid August. For the most part, it worked out well except that one cheek is still much larger than the other. Because the one cheek is so distended it's causing a gaunt look with a deep hollow under the cheek. I also have what appears to be a bag under the eye which might also be related to the distended cheek. Since 5 weeks have passed since the procedure, can I still hope this is swelling that will resolve itself or do you think I have a problem that will need to be corrected?
Thanks for your help!

It does not sound as if i did the procedure since i do not do touchups routinely that short a time later because a patient can be overcorrected a year later. in that regard, i try not to answer questions by another surgeon. i would ask your surgeon. that is my policy that i have repeated numerous times in this blog.
