How long does it take for the majority of the expected fat to reabsorb after a fat transfer to the breast?

Question

Mathew A. Plant, MD, FRCSC · Answer

Most studies show that the volume that remains after 3 months tends to be the permanent volume. Expect a 30-50% volume loss depending on whether an external expansion system like Brava was used or not. Best of luck!

Khashayar Mohebali, MD, FACS · Answer

I tell patients to wait at least 3-4 months before looking at as close to final results as possible. That time allows for the swelling to resolve and the fat reabsorption to occur.
