Is it true that for skinnier people they absorb fat graft faster?

Question

I am korean american and in korea and I’m planning on doing fat graft and in korea, unlike the west they do two sessions to se how much fat you absorb to avoid overfilling and they store fat in fridge. One dr says since I am skinny, they should inject more since based on experience skinnier people absorb fat less is 30cc-40cc a lot? Thank you

Facial fat transfer is inherently, unpredictable, and precise, and can be unforgiving if the results are not to the patient’s liking.
Taking a cautious approach, and grafting conservatively with understanding that future sessions may be needed to get the ultimate result, lowers the chance of the procedure being unforgiving.
In the end, there are only two variables involved with quality cosmetic surgery outcomes. The first is the patient’s candidacy for the procedure, and the second is the skill of the provider.
Maximizing quality outcomes is best done by understanding for the procedure well as thoroughly vetting providers to find the best available provider in your community.
I suggest patients to do that I have a multiple in person, consultations with local, board-certified plastic surgeons who have proven experience with this procedure. During each consultation, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before and after pictures of the previous patients with similar facial characteristics to your own. For fat transfer results recognize that early results can look very impressive. I do not in any way represent final results. Always confirm the timeframe of when after pictures were taken in relationship to the procedure. After pictures should never be taking less than 3 to 6 months from the date of surgery. And experience provider should have no difficulty showing you the before and after pictures of at least 50 previous patients. Highly experienced providers should have hundreds or potentially thousands of before and after pictures to choose from.
Delivery, consistent quality Liposuction, and ben transfer result is more difficult than most people realize.
Mastering this procedure requires a lifetime of dedication.
