This section of the forum is dedicated to discussions on various surgical techniques for facial rejuvenation, including fat transfer/fat grafting, browlift, blepharoplasty (cosmetic eyelid surgery), facelift, etc. Also, this category includes questions on hand rejuvenation via fat grafting. (Of note, Dr. Lam does not perform body rejuvenation except for hand fat grafting)
for my patients, i really say there is no real care or precautions. there is very little that you will do to hurt my fat transfer. i typically ask my patients just to ice their face for a few days to help with swelling and to be careful working out so that they do not injure themselves from falling down during the healing phase but really i don't have much that i am worried about. best, sml
