Is fat transfer to the legs permanent?

Sirish Maddali, MD answers: Is fat transfer from tummy to legs permanent?

Can fat transfer from tummy to legs give me a permanent or temporary result? Also, I need to ask if this surgery would give good results.

 This is a very generic question, so I can give a generic answer. Fat transfer, in general, is not usually permanent. Some of the fat that is moved to the new area lives and some does not. However, most of the fat does survive and the result can be permanent. On the other hand, if one does not watch diet and exercise, the transferred fat can increase in size. Keep that in mind.
