I've read many reviews and doctors answers but none are consistent. The fat that stays after 6 months is or is not permanent? I understand we all age so the far would age with us, but after 4-5 years the fat should still be present correct? Or would it be essentially non existent after that time frame?

Answer: Fat Transfer - Permanent or Not? Facial fat grafting tends to have a higher percentage of the fat survive than does grafting in other areas of the body. Any facial fat that remains after 3 months or so has an established blood supply and will continue to live. Some of the fat grafted will be lost, but about 70 to 90% of the fat grafted to the face should live. In other areas of the body, about 50 to 75% of the fat injected survives after fat grafting. This fat will continue to stay with you and will act like the rest of your body's fat. Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Fat transfer- permanent or not? Thank you for your question. You are correct in that there are varying opinions on this topic. However, there is good literature to suggest that grafted fat does have long term survival. The problem is the amount of the fat that does reach this point is not readily predictable and depends on multiple factors. Hope this helps!
