How long after autologous fat filling can you wash your face? What should you pay attention to after autologous fat filling?

Autologous fat filling has always been a very popular plastic surgery project. In our daily life, many people have done autologous fat filling. You cannot touch water within one week after the autologous fat filling operation.

You cannot wash your face within 7 days after autologous fat filling, and you cannot let the wound get wet, and you cannot take a shower or wash your hair. You can wash your face 7 days after autologous fat filling, but this also depends on the recovery of the beauty lover after autologous fat filling. The recovery time varies for different physiques, so the specific time to wash your face is also different.

1. Do not apply heat; if there is no bleeding, do not apply ice

2. Avoid excessive facial movements (making exaggerated expressions or chewing vigorously) in the early stages

3. Do not press or compress the filling area.

Four: No steaming, sauna, or exercise within 4 weeks (you can take a walk or do some relaxing yoga)

5. Please contact a doctor immediately if any of the following situations occur: body temperature exceeds 38.5℃; severe pain in the surgical area that cannot be controlled by medication; local redness and bleeding in the filled area; unevenness in the filled area. Of course, every doctor will have specific instructions after the surgery, so just follow the doctor's instructions. This is just a general direction, and the specifics vary depending on the physical condition of each person.

Postoperative care guidance for autologous fat facial filling (specific guidance is mainly based on the doctor's guidance) and the second one is that we need to do some care after the operation:

1. Use two pillows to keep your head elevated 15° when sleeping within the first week after surgery. 2. Do not apply ice or heat compresses after surgery. Too high or too low a body temperature is not conducive to the survival of fat cells. 3. Swelling 48 hours after surgery is normal. The heaviest swelling occurs about 48-72 hours after surgery. 4. Due to the relationship between the dose of fat filling and edema, facial swelling after surgery may look exaggerated, but it will slowly subside over time. Do not take measures to speed up the swelling. 5. It is suitable to eat only easily digestible liquid food on the day after surgery. Starting from the second day, you can eat semi-liquid food regularly, but you should avoid opening your lips too wide or chewing hard food within 4 weeks after surgery. 6. Do not make exaggerated expressions in the early postoperative period to avoid the compression and displacement of fat cells, resulting in uneven filling areas. 7. Pay attention to the care of the filling area and liposuction area. You can gently wipe it with saline to clean it; try not to shower within 3 days after surgery. If you must shower, use waterproof tape to prevent sewage from infecting the wound. 8. Wear elastic clothing immediately in the liposuction area after surgery, and make sure the elastic clothing is neatly arranged; the amount of fat required for autologous fat facial filling is relatively small, so wear elastic clothing all day for the first two weeks after surgery, and wear it intermittently in the next two weeks (for liposuction and large-scale liposuction operations, follow the doctor's advice separately), and ensure that you stay awake for more than 8 hours a day, and keep the area around the liposuction wound dry. 9. Do not smoke or drink for 1 month after surgery, and eat a light diet. Avoid spicy, fried, seafood, beef, mutton, and dog meat, but pay attention to proper supplementation of eggs, milk, and multivitamins. 10. Fat filling will be partially absorbed. Generally, the fat filled is basically stable 3 months after surgery. If you want to fill it again, please contact your doctor. You should still follow the doctor's advice for specific precautions. The best one is the one that suits you.

1. Wounds are prone to infection

After autologous fat filling, there will be wounds left, and when we wash our face, we use clean water, which contains a large number of bacteria. If you wash your face before the wound has healed after autologous fat filling, the wound will be easily infected and inflamed under the stimulation of bacteria in the water.

2. Friction reduces the survival rate of fat

When we wash our face, we inevitably rub our skin. This friction and squeezing action will cause stress on the fat injected into the autologous fat. The fat injected into the autologous fat is not stable yet. Once the blood flow to the injected part is poor, the friction will reduce the survival rate of the fat, making the autologous fat injection have no expected effect.

It takes about 7 days to apply skin care products after fat filling. Because everyone's physical fitness is different, the adaptability and self-healing ability of the human body are different. Some people can reduce swelling in 4 to 5 days after fat filling, while others need about 10 days. So when you can apply skin care products depends on your recovery. If you have any questions during this period, you need to ask the attending physician as soon as possible. Fat filling into the face is a mandatory filling material to make the face thin and uneven face full. The stuff filled in needs to be slowly absorbed, dissolved, and restored to reduce swelling in the face for a long time, especially fat filling of the face, which will also fill in some saline, anesthetics, fat, and some blood and fluid will accumulate in the surgical site. It takes a long time for the internal tissues of the human body to decompose, reject, and absorb some effusion. Regardless of any surgery or fat filling, the first 4 days after the surgery are the most swollen period. About 10 days after fat filling, the problem of inconsistent swelling is frequent, and there will be uneven problems. The amount of fat filling in the same part also determines the speed of swelling reduction, and the sleeping posture also determines the problem of inconsistent swelling on both sides.

Precautions for fat grafting: Do not squeeze, massage, rub, apply hot compress, steam sauna, or use instrument beauty within one month after fat grafting. Do not make big facial movements within one month after fat grafting to prevent fat from flowing. The ideal time for fat grafting surgery to recover and reduce swelling is 3-6 months. It is impossible to see the ideal effect of fat grafting within one month. It takes three months for fat grafting and any plastic surgery to see the approximate effect. The recovery and reduction of swelling after 3 months after surgery is about 55-70%. If the same part is fat grafted multiple times or people who often undergo facial surgery, the swelling will be much slower than those who undergo the first surgery.
