Does fat transfer to hips really last?

I would fully agree with your surgeon.  The rate of fat survival is very poor in the areas that see a lot of muscle activity.  Most of the fat transferred to the lips is likely to disappears within a month or two.Another reason not to use fat for correcting lip asymmetry is that fat...

Thank you for your question.  Very roughly, 1,000 grams or 1,000 cc's weighs approximately 2.2 lbs.  While not exact this a  reasonable approximation. If 2300 cc's of fat was transferred that translates to approximately 5 lbs of fat.   After body contouring...

...Is the same thing as transfer.  Fat to lips is unpredictable.  I over-correct knowing that the fat cell survival is lower here than in other areas where there is native fat.  I put in up to 8 cc to 12 cc in the lips.  Hyaluronic acid products like Restylane is more...

It doesn't take much fat at all for facial fat grafting. My patients include models and athletes with very limited body fat.  Fat is the only material one should consider having placed under the eyes. When expertly administered fat provides a smooth, natural looking result that can be...

Hello,   Facial fat transfercan be safely performed in the office without sedation. We routinely transfer smaller volumes 10-15mL using a combination of local anesthesia with Valium for relaxation. I tend to think we can achieve better resultswhen the patient is awake and in a seated position ...

Dear simk420, In general, fat transfer performed for a loss of volume and sunken undereye is usually very successful. Survival rates vary, depending on the literature and the experience of the physician performing on the procedure, but 30% to 60% of the fat transferred can expect to survive. ...
