Given that a certain amount of fat is reabsorbed into the body, does it just dissolve or does it accumulate within the body somewhere?
Answer: Fat cells do not accumulate anywhere else. Fat cells that do not survive, atrophy (shrink) and die and get resorbed by surrounding cells. They do not accumulate anywhere else in the body.

Answer: Facial Fat Transfer Very good question. Facial fat transfer is the process of taking unwanted fat cells from one area of the body like the abdomen or hips, and then injecting it into areas of the face to smooth away lines, restore youthful volume and provide subtle facial sculpting. Most doctors will inject a bit more fat than you need with the knowledge that some with be reabsorbed.

Answer: After Facial Fat Transfer, Where does the Reabsorbed Fat go? Facial Fat Transfer is an excellent treatment option for adding volume to the face. While Dermal Filler is more commonly sought out, Facial Fat Transfer can be a more long-term solution as well as more natural as it requires using donor fat from elsewhere in the patients' body. The fat cells that didn't survive the transfer are then absorbed by the body.

Answer: Fat transfer results--water-assisted harvesting, prp, sculptra Fat transfer results are permanent, but not all fat will survive. Harvesting is important to fat transfer. Yes, I use water-assisted fat harvesting which gives pure fat to transfer and combine with platelet rich plasma (PRP) to get the most viable and sustainable fat cells. This can be combined with Sculptra, depending on treated area, to improve outcomes. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Reabsorbed fat Your body will likely recycle this fat - i.e. use it as fuel or if you have adequate calories, will store it as new fat elsewhere.
