When can you start to exfoliate skin after fat grafting

Surgery Editor Nick Posting update : 2021.02.01



Exfoliating the skin once in 2~3 weeks is an effective way to take care of the skin.


However, those who have undergone the fat grafting surgery had better avoid aggressive actions on the skin.


Here comes the question if it is possible to exfoliate the skin after the fat transfer. If so, then when can one start?





One can exfoliate the skin after the fat grafting. It is one of the most concerning parts that our customers come up with after the surgery.


The production of sebum and improper washing can lead to the formation of dead cells on the skin.


Since any laser treatments or peeling procedures can lead to dissatisfactory outcomes in terms of results and efficacy of the surgery, the plastic surgeon recommends exfoliating in 2~3 weeks after the surgery.


It is even better to start after one month because the operation area will recover to some degree within a month.





Exfoliating dead cells using peeling gel or peeling products excessively after the surgery can negatively affect the skin and the eventual surgery result.


Therefore, when doing it, it is necessary to be careful and gently approach the exfoliation at home.
