How long is the downtime for Cheekbone (malar) fat grafting?
7–14 days. Full recovery 4–12 wks · Flight safe 5 days
Long-term retention of grafted facial fat is variable and commonly cited at roughly 50 to 80 percent, so a second session is often needed, and over-grafting in the cheek is difficult to reverse.
