How Long Do Fat Grafting Results Last?

January 5, 2009
Asked By:Don in Nashville, TN, US

I am trying to determine whether micro fat grafting is a better option for cheek augmentation than implants. I was researching it today and saw that some final results look great, better than any of the cheek augmentation photos I've seen. But I'm still apprehensive about taking this route. How long do micro fat grafting results usually last?
