I am a male who had a fat transfer to my pecs which I'm not satisfied with. I heard that these results are not permenant and after a period of time they disolve? Please clarify.

Fat injections, fat grafts, lipotransfer involve the movement of fat that is harvested from one area of the body to another. The harvest is from a donor area usually on the lower abdomen or thigh or buttock. The fat is processed and then reinjected in the recipient area. As it is...
The fat can "take" irregularly and lead to asymmetry or lumpiness. Infection is possible but rare. Bleeding with significant bruising occasionally. The graft might not take and make the benefits temporary.
It is possible to remove the fat to make you more symmetrical but it needs to be physically removed which is complicated by the fact that fat is in your pecs. This is not an easy problem to fix. Sorry! Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon.
