How Long Does Fat Grafting Last? Many people say fat grafting on the upper eyelid only last for 2-3 years .

Rainbowclub
many people say fat grafting on the upper eyelid only last for 2-3 years and many doctors say it is permanent. i understand that if there's no blood supply to fats, it will be absorbed. but what i dont understand is, how can it be absorbed after 2-3 years? unless it takes 2-3 years for the fats to get blood supply, if not, how can the survived fats later be absorbed again.
