1 Week After Forehead Fat Grafting for Sunken Eyes: Honest Swelling Update

1 Week After Forehead Fat Grafting

Swelling, Recovery, and Returning to Daily Life

Hello. I’m Director Choi Moon-seop of Grace Plastic Surgery. Many people are curious about how things look one week after forehead fat grafting. A lot of people ask:

“When will the swelling go down?”

“When can I go back to work?”

“Will other people be able to tell?”

Today, I’ll explain the swelling at the 1-week mark and the possibility of returning to daily life, along with actual before-and-after photos.

What is the swelling like one week after surgery?

The swelling after forehead fat grafting

usually peaks for about 3 days after surgery.

After that, it gradually subsides,

and by around one week, you can visibly

see that it has decreased.

In particular, at our clinic, when performing under-eye fat grafting, we use a technique that considers delicate layer-by-layer injection and graft survival rate, so the swelling period is relatively short and the natural change appears quickly.

As the fat settles in place, the sunken area of the forehead is naturally filled, and unnecessary swelling has largely gone down. The cannula marks gradually and naturally fade over time, so there is no need to worry too much. We place special importance on the line that connects naturally even when the eyes are closed. When can you return to daily life? Looking at actual patient feedback, many people say they were able to go back to work within about 5 days. (However, recovery speed varies from person to person, so we provide thorough guidance during consultation.) In most cases, swelling can be covered with just a mask and natural makeup. Fat grafting is not simply a “fill it in” procedure. What matters is how it settles over time and how the overall impression changes. Rather than short-term changes, we design the surgery based on naturalness that continues through 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year later. Have questions? If sunken forehead concerns you, please contact us now through KakaoTalk consultation or the clinic website. We will help create the process of “swelling beautifully and recovering naturally” after surgery.
