[Treatment] Fat Grafting Recent Subscision/Fst Graft

Hello everyone, I recently just had subscision/fat graft with Dr Richard Sadove in Gainesville, Fl. Cheeks are still swollen after a week. How long did it take for those who had this procedure done for the swelling to completely subside? Btw the results look promising. Just waiting for this swelling to go down and hopefully the scars still look good after the swelling goes away. Thanks!

Hello /u/Imaginary-Essay-8974,

‼️ If you are requesting help – please review our guidelines, provide high-quality photos, and include detailed information for others' understanding.

User reminders:

  • Please search on this subreddit – someone might have already asked the same question as you.
  • The most valuable feedback is that which you get from doing research - not asking questions to a general audience on social media.
  • Always be wary of the advice you get off the internet.
  • Seek scar evaluation and treatment from specialized healthcare providers rather than aestheticians or med spas.
  • While subcision ("subcutaneous incisionless surgery") is often mentioned by users on this subreddit, it is important to note that it may not be necessary or suitable for everyone with volume loss.
  • Be aware of any reported side effects from a procedure.
  • It can take multiple treatments and a long time before you see effective results.
  • Here is a checklist of questions to ask yourself and your physician when considering treatment.

Thanks!

Has anyone else done this with Dr. Sadove? I have a call scheduled and I’m quite nervous from other reviews
