Are the skin improvements from facial fat transfer permanent?

It would be very hard to measure improvement of skin quality; it is mostly based on individual observation by a patient and/or physician. Until we are able to measure and rate improvement, it will be impossible to give you good answer. However, most of us who were doing fat grafts for number of years will agree that effect on the skin is long lasting.

Fat which survives the process of the transfer is generally stable.  It will fluctuate with your weight.  What you have at 3 months is likely what you will have long term.Consider the whatever the benefits like moving the clock back.  Time will continue but from an earlier starting point.Dr Rodger ShorttOakville Plastic Surgeon,Director of Cosmetic Surgery Training &Assistant Clinical Professor,McMaster University

Fat transfer results are typically permanent unless you lose weight dramatically.  The skin improvements are great from the fat stem cells and I combine PRP to the mix to get even better improvement.  However, the aging process will continue and eventually you will need other cosmetic treatments for improvements and to maintain.  Best, Dr. Emer.
