StemCell Fat Transfer | Post Procedure Dip
oin me for a candid update 48 hours after undergoing a stem cell-assisted fat transfer procedure. This treatment involved liposuction to harvest fat, which was then processed to extract stem cells and re-injected into various areas of my face.
Procedure Details:
Liposuction: Fat was taken from my thighs.
Stem Cell Extraction: The fat was processed to isolate stem cells.
Injections:
Deep Injections: Bony arches above eyebrows, cheekbones, malar arch, jawline, chin, and nose.
Muscle and Skin: Injections into the muscle and skin for overall rejuvenation.
Current Status (48 Hours Post-Procedure):
Swelling and Stiffness: Significant swelling and stiffness in my face, making it difficult to smile or open my jaw fully.
Bruising and Discomfort: Bruising under the eyes and general discomfort around the injection sites.
Thigh Pain: Soreness in the thighs from the liposuction.
Recovery Experience:
Initial Excitement: The first day was exciting and filled with relief.
Current Challenges: Experiencing a low point with significant stiffness and aching muscles, making daily activities challenging.
Uncertainty: Unsure how much fat will survive in the new location, as it depends on blood supply development.
Next Steps:
Healing and Settling: Expecting swelling to reduce and the results to become more apparent over time.
Long-Term Benefits: Anticipating improvements over the next few months as stem cells enhance bone and muscle volume.
Skincare During Recovery:
Skin Fuse Gel: A hydrogel applied every couple of hours for healing.
Calming Complex: A soothing cream to keep the skin calm and reduce inflammation.
Conclusion:
Positive Outlook: Despite the current discomfort, I am thrilled to have undergone the procedure and confident in the long-term benefits.
Stay Tuned: More updates to come as the recovery progresses.
