Skin didn't contract fat transfer. What is happening?

It's possible that the changes you've noticed after the fat transfer procedure could be related to the redistribution and settling of the transferred fat, as well as the natural healing process. In some cases, the initial swelling or fullness in one area may gradually subside, leading to changes in the appearance of surrounding areas.

Additionally, it's important to note that individual healing and response to procedures can vary. It would be best to discuss your concerns with your doctor to get a better understanding of the specific changes you are experiencing and to address any questions or uncertainties you may have.


If you remain unsatisfied or have ongoing concerns, seeking a second opinion from another qualified professional may be an option to consider. They can evaluate your specific situation and provide further insights or recommendations based on their expertise.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

Without seeing proper before abd after pictures we can not make an assessment on the outcome of a procedure.
Fat transfer results will continue to change for three to six months after the procedure.
If you don’t have before and after pictures ask your provider to forward the pictures they took.
