When Can I See Final Result of Fat Grafting Done in Face?

Dear Gabrielle,

-Because everyone has a different technique it is hard to say for certain

-I would say after 6 months you can tell because at that time, the swelling has come down and you can tell how much fat has survived

In our practice, we judge our post op results at 3-4 months. Others may suggest longer, but there is no research that has really compared results between 3 months and 6 months.

Normally you can see the final results for fat grafting take after 4 to 5 months. All the swelling will improve and absorption has occurred.  Changes continue up to one year however
