Aftercare

Hi,

I wondering if having cold showers afterward would negatively affect the absorption of fat after a Colemans fat transfer to the face. Thankyou.

Procedure: Facelift
Location: uttoxeter, GT - Sweden

The exact temperature and duration of “cold“ exposure would need to be known, but either way, I would ask your surgeon. Be careful.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question. No, cold showers should not impact the anticipated fat retention after transfer. Hope this helps.

Cold water should not affect the survival of the fat grafts . Be sure to discuss postop instructions with your surgeon however to be sure that you and they are on the same page.
