(Approximately)? Thank you.
Answer: No It is impossible to compare equal volumes of filler to fat for many reasons. Fat that is grafted represents a suspension of clumps of living fat cells, water and oil. The density of the fat suspension can vary. Even ultra dry fat that has been placed on absorbent gauze still has some residual liquid. The other unknown variable is the survival of the fat that is grafted. It can vary due to multiple factors, but it is always less than the total fat volume injected.

Answer: Fat vs Filler Hi, thank you for sharing your question. In short, yes. However, fat survival is unpredictable, so the volume may not truly be 1 to 1 when sufficient time has passed.

Answer: Fat transfer vs injectables Technically, yes. One cc of fat is equivalent to one cc of filler. The difference is that some of the fat (usually around 30% when larger volumes are injected) is absorbed over time postoperatively.

Answer: Grafting tissue versus injecting fillers When grafting fat the injected particles always contain a certain percentage of water. The amount of water depends on how the fat is processed during harvest and in preparation for grafting. after grafted a certain percentage of fat when not survive. A typical response to how much fat survives is about 50% but this varies substantially on a multitude of variables.
