How long will fat transfer for under eye hollows last?

Kim2000,The effects of fat transfer are permanent. However, all fat dissipates over time. I would expect you would not need additional fat for at least 10 years.A less expensive option would to place Restylane in the tear trough but that typically only lasts one year.Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any more questions.I hope this was helpful,Dr. Daniel BarrettPlastic SurgeryBeverly Hills, CA

 Eyelid fat transfer results can be variable depending on technique and your eyelid anatomy.  There is a certain amount of fat atrophy after surgery but usually approximately 50 to 60% will remain.  It is possible to need a second procedure for optimal results.  However, it will last longer than any filler and patients are often quite pleased. I would suggest a consultation with a specialist Who is familiar  with the technique.
