I Had a Fat Transfer to my Breasts 5 Months Ago, How Long Before I Know my Final Result?

The patient will be able to see the final result of fat augmentation to the breasts by about six months.

Five months should be a sufficient amount of time to ascertain your final result from fat grafting.  Not all of the fat that is injected survives, and this is why patients need to wait some time after the procedure has been done to see their final results. 

Hello. At five months you should be at your final result. When fat is injected you usually lose about 30% of what is injected, and that fat loss will usually occur within the first three months after the procedure. What lasts after the first three months should last for the rest of your life.
