Postoperative care
Postoperative care
Compression garments are recommended over the donor sites for several weeks, but it is important to avoid compression over the recipient sites. Specially designed body compression garments are available for use after buttock augmentation, and special supportive bras with minimal compression are advised after fat grafting to the breast.
Patients are advised to be gentle with all areas that have received fat grafts, to avoid massage and manipulation of these areas, and to avoid strenuous physical activity for 2 weeks. It is also important to maintain a stable weight and avoid excessive weight loss
or weight gain after fat transfer has been performed (Figs. 61-75 to 61-80).
Postoperative visits are usually scheduled for the day after surgery, then weekly for the first month; further visits depend on individual circumstances.
Postoperative care after facial fat transfer After facial fat transfer, the patient is advised to sleep with their head elevated on two pillows for several weeks. Ice packs may be applied throughout the day for the first 2 days. Patients are instructed to avoid doing housework and bending over to prevent increased swelling. Antibiotics, a steroid taper, and HSV prophylaxis are often prescribed, and patients are advised to avoid all dental procedures for 1 month.
