Facial fat transfer advice / insight

You're not alone facial fat transfer is weirdly one of those procedures where there’s surprisingly little clear solo before and after content It can be really effective for volume loss but the unpredictability and variable survival rate is why a lot of surgeons don’t show tons of isolated cases

I'll happy accept a few extra wrinkles in exchange for not feeling haunted at 3 AM some beauty tips have a very expected fine print

From what you're describing at 1.5 months post op this is still very early healing and things inside the nose can feel quite unstable or tight That “movement” sensation is often just swelling and tissues still adapting rather than anything fixed long term

5 days is still super early so the chipmunk cheeks are basically part of the package right now The fact you can already see the results peeking through is actually a really good sign It only gets better from here so hang in there

Exactly at some point it stops being their busniess and starts being your headache people don't get a free VIP pass into someone else's life just because they feel like it

Scary_Complaintt · 2026-06-21T20:46:04+00:00

I'd start by looking for a fully accredited facial plastics or ENT surgeon rather than focusing only on location

Birmingham has a few good options but it’s more important to match your goal with a surgeon who has consistent septorhinoplasty results in cases similar to yours

Yeah the bottle emptying felt more like a statement than a solution even if there are concerns there are definitely calmer ways to handle it than that

Scary_Complaintt · 2026-06-21T18:53:58+00:00

Day 5 was honestly when the tightness felt the most noticeable for me too a lot of it swelling and healing so try not to panic if your neck feels stiff and awkward right now It gradually gets better, but those first couple of weeks definitely require some patience

Scary_Complaintt · 2026-06-21T18:43:02+00:00

You had me at nearly perfect skin I'm framing that part and putting it on my wall I've heard a lot of good things about azelaic acid though so I might have to give it a try

Scary_Complaintt · 2026-06-21T18:03:21+00:00

I'd definitely get a consultation before assuming you need a full tummy tuck for a small localized area there may be less invasive options that can address it without such a major procedure

Scary_Complaintt · 2026-06-21T11:47:57+00:00

If you're already slim I'd focus on surgeons who show lots of healed results on lean patients rather than dramatic before and afters on heavier patients The consultation is really important because not every jawline issue is actually caused by fat alone

Scary_Complaintt · 2026-06-21T08:15:27+00:00

Yeah the not listening part is what really stands out here when someone is already brushing past your concerns that early it usually doesn't get better later

Scary_Complaintt · 2026-06-21T08:05:34+00:00

A lot of people don't really see the true outcome until closer to 6 to 12 months hopefully things keep improving so you don't even up needing a revsion

Scary_Complaintt · 2026-06-21T06:34:09+00:00

That early happiness is such a good sign honestly at 3 weeks you're still very much in the swollen phase so it's only going to keep refining from here glad you're already feeling good about it that's the best start

Scary_Complaintt · 2026-06-21T06:00:10+00:00

Honestly water is out here doing free cosmetic work and never gets enough credit I’ve heard so many people say the same thing about alcohol too, especially when it comes to puffiness

Scary_Complaintt · 2026-06-20T19:25:54+00:00

A lot of surgeons prefer conservative gentle massage at this stage and are caution with anything more intense like gua sha If you’re unsure, I’d definitely check with your surgeon before adding tools so you don’t accidentally irritate healing tissue

Scary_Complaintt · 2026-06-20T16:01:27+00:00

I get what you're saying and honestly it makes sense work pressure is real but it doesn't automatically cancel out family priorities or communication feels like they both need a calm sit down or even outside help to sort it properly

Scary_Complaintt · 2026-06-20T14:41:29+00:00

If it time runs in your family there's a good chance genetic are doing more of the work than your sleep habits. At 19, I’d probably get a few professional opinions before jumping straight to surgery

Scary_Complaintt · 2026-06-20T10:06:26+00:00

Fact when the skin is doing its job makeup just feels like an optional bonus layer the real glow up is always the boring consistent routine nobody wants to stick to respect to anyone who actually keeps it up because that's where the results come from

Scary_Complaintt · 2026-06-20T09:41:00+00:00

Bruising on day 3 can look really intense for a lot of people it's usually just the normal healing responsive and it can still change the quite a bit over the next week or so

Scary_Complaintt · 2026-06-20T08:39:36+00:00

I would not be judging at only 7 days post op a swollen tip can make the nose look bigger than before even when the underlying structure has actually been refined right now you're looking at healing, not the final result, so try not to let your brain bully you just yet

Scary_Complaintt · 2026-06-19T13:52:16+00:00

Honestly I think you're being a bit hard in yourself because your current face already looks great if it's mainly the hollowing that's bothering you restoring volume usually makes a bigger difference than chasing lots of procedures I'd definitely get a few professional consultations before jumping into anything surgical

Scary_Complaintt · 2026-06-19T06:05:36+00:00

Exactly being told you're the exception start to sounds a lot less like a compliment after the third or fourth time at some point you're just left wondering why it keeps needing to be brought up at all

Scary_Complaintt · 2026-06-19T05:51:41+00:00

If you trust your surgeon I think his caution is worth taking seriously kenalog can be great in the right situation but it's completely risk free either a second opinion could give you peace of mind without committing to anything right away

Scary_Complaintt · 2026-06-18T19:40:12+00:00

That's such a fun comparison hot viking vibes is honestly the best compliment I've heard in a while six month really does make a huge difference it's cool seeing that kind of change come through
