Introduction
In general, patients can smile normally within one month after facial fat filling. Facial fat filling involves harvesting fat from other body areas through liposuction, followed by washing, centrifugation, purification, and then injecting it into sunken areas of the face. The approximate cost ranges from 10,000 to 20,000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement is usually seen within 1–3 months, although possible complications may include infection and unevenness at the treated areas.

Generally, patients can smile within one month after facial fat filling. The detailed explanation is as follows:

Facial fat filling involves harvesting fat from other areas of the body, which is then washed, centrifuged, purified, and injected into sunken areas of the face. The approximate cost ranges from 10,000 to 20,000 yuan per session. The price varies depending on factors such as the injection site, surgical complexity, type of anesthesia, and regional differences. Noticeable improvement is usually observed within 1 to 3 months, although complications such as infection or unevenness at the injection site may occur. One month after the procedure, the injected fat may have been partially absorbed by the skin and started to stabilize. At this point, normal facial expressions, including smiling and laughing, can be gradually resumed.

It is recommended to properly care for the treated area after surgery. Keep the injection site clean and dry, and avoid contact with water to prevent infection. Additionally, avoid actions that may cause fat displacement, such as forcefully pressing on the treated area.
