How to reduce facial swelling with fat filling?

Facial lipofilling is a common plastic surgery procedure that can help improve facial contours and skin texture. Swelling after surgery is common and requires some time to recover. Here are some ways to help you reduce swelling quickly:

Cold and hot compresses: Cold compresses immediately after surgery can reduce bleeding and swelling. 2-3 days after surgery, you can switch to using hot compresses to promote blood circulation and speed up the reduction of swelling. Be careful not to overheat or burn your skin.

Ice compress: Apply an ice pack or cold towel to the face for 15-20 minutes each time, 3-4 times a day. Applying ice can constrict blood vessels and reduce swelling and pain.

Compression: Use an elastic bandage or headgear to compress the surgical site to reduce bleeding and swelling. Be careful not to tighten it too much to avoid discomfort.

Elevate your head: When sleeping at night, try to elevate your head position to reduce facial swelling.

Medication: Your doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory or painkillers to relieve swelling and pain. Take your medicines correctly and as directed by your doctor.

Rest: Pay attention to rest after surgery and avoid strenuous exercise and facial muscle activities to avoid aggravating swelling.

Diet: Avoid stimulating foods and drinks after surgery, such as spicy, sweet and sour, alcohol, etc. It is recommended to drink plenty of water and eat bland foods to promote metabolism and reduce swelling.

Avoid exposure to high temperature environments: such as hot baths, saunas, etc., to avoid aggravating swelling and pain.

It should be noted that everyone’s recovery situation is different, so adjustments need to be made based on individual circumstances. If you experience any abnormalities during the swelling reduction process, such as severe swelling, pain, bleeding, etc., you should contact your doctor for examination and treatment in time. At the same time, following the doctor's advice and guidance and returning for check-ups on time will also help speed up the recovery process.
