LAM FACIAL PLASTICS

Dear Dr. Lam,
I'm interested in having facial fat grafting. I've always had long thin face (long face syndrome) 3 months ago I underwent orthognathic surgery ( lefort I 4 mm impaction and setback and genioplasty) as my surgeon suspected I ended up with a flat midface and sunken cheeks. I don’t have much time off work (2 weeks) so my question is if it was safe to have my fat grafting 5 months post orthognathic Surgery and if 2 weeks are enough down time. My swelling from lefort I is almost subsided except my subnasal and upper lip area which i'm not looking to graft as they were full prior surgery.

Regards,
Nora

to me 5 months seems quite reasonable. you might want to check with your surgeon but he might not understand fat transfer so i would say that 5 months is quite reasonable in my opinion.
best,
