The process of liposuctioning fat from a designated area for facial injections is a simple procedure that yields beautiful results with minor down time. Following liposuction, your thigh or abdomen may be slightly swollen and possibly bruised. At the same time, your surgeon will inject the fat into your face, which also may result in light swelling. Any bruising that occurs (common around the eyes) will diminish within a few days. Aside from slight bruising, by the following day no one should be able to tell you had anything done. Subsequent injections yield even better results and should be performed around 8-10 weeks later, with similar reactions.
