Fat transfer to face reviews
The main problem after fat transfer are swelling, bruising, redness at injection site and some edema which may last up to 2-3 weeks to resolve. During 48 hours after fat grafting it is recommended to cool down the face and sleep in semi sitting position for fastest recovery and stay away from blood thinning drugs such as omega 3, ibuprofen for a few weeks.
When properly performed, a fat transfer can last a long time. In areas where the fat does get resorbed, the area can continue to be tweaked. For patients who want to continue to have volume enhancement, but desire natural results (i.e., lip enhancement), this is an ideal procedure. This is especially the case for those who are not comfortable using an implant.Scarring is minimal during a fat transfer procedure. Any scars that remain will be small (either where the cannula or the syringe was inserted for the transfer). The incisions are usually placed in areas where they can be concealed by clothing.

Fat injections side effects
Fat injections side effects are few, rare, and minimal. Soreness and swelling are most experienced complications. Infection presenting may affect graft survival. Viral infections or herpes infection have also been reported at the site of cannula entry.
Fat embolism, particularly if injected with sharp needle.Blindness may result as a direct consequence of needle puncture and intracapsular trauma or pressure related retinal artery thrombosis.Cyst formation is more common when a large amount of fat is transferred.Skin necrosis and sinus formation may result from overfilling or over augmentation of the desired site.Compression atrophy may result from over augmentation with associated avascular necrosis due to excessive pressure on vasculature which can result in arterial or venous thrombosis.
Haematoma or seroma formation may occur more commonly if blunt cannulae are not used and when the patient is on other anticoagulant medication or supplements providing an anticoagulant effect.
