Facial Fat Transfer: Walking should not be a problem with regards to the success of your procedure, however shortness of breath is concerning. Contact your doctor immediately for these sort of symptoms.

Dizziness?: As my colleague said, shortness of breath is potentially life threatening and demands prompt attention. If you mean dizziness though, you're probably dehydrated. First the pre-op starvation, then possibly a large amount of fat removal, with possibly insufficient rehydration can, and frequently does lead to some dizziness due to a lowered blood pressure. Rehydrate with electrolyte-containing fluids.
