How Long Before Final Results from Fat Transfer in Tear Trough Can Be Seen?

danny 1
I am considering Fat Transfer in the tear trough and I have been told by several doctors that they over correct the area due to the expected amount of fat that will die.How long will it take for the overcorrected fat to be absorbed so I know when I look in the mirror that that is the final result? Also if there is too much of an overcorrection what is the best method to reduce the overcorrection of fat?
