I had fat injected into my whole face 2 weeks ago. Other people worry that it will go down, but I'm so worried about how long this swelling will last and whether it will go down at all. What I wanted was my forehead, temples, and nasolabial folds, but since I had somewhat prominent cheekbones, the doctor injected my cheeks too. But now my cheeks are so puffed up that I can't even smile, and my face looks so sulky. They say other people can go out after about 2 weeks, but until around 10 days after surgery I was so swollen that other people would have fainted if they saw me. Now it has started to go down a little, just a very little, but I still can't go out, and my mom says my face is completely ruined and is very worried. Usually it seems like people with no facial fat get their cheeks done, but my face was slim and on the small side, and my cheeks weren't hollow or anything. Now I'm so worried my face will become like a steamed bun. The place where I had surgery advertised that they only do one round and centrifuge the fat, so the survival rate is extremely high. I'm scared that, just like they said, it really won't go down and all of it will survive. Now I'm even suspicious whether this is swelling or fat, and I'm so depressed. I'm afraid that if I rub it for no reason, the fat won't go away and it might become lumpy or move somewhere else, so I can't do that either. I'm really worried about how long I have to wait, whether it will really become natural if I wait, and if I want to reverse it, what method I should use. I thought about going to a sauna, but then I'm afraid even my forehead will go down, so I can't. Is there anyone who, like me, was over-injected at first but later became natural, or anyone who disliked it all the way to the end?
