Make sure your plastic surgeon is aware of this issue so that he/she can follow up.
Good luck!
About 60% of fat from the transfer is retained and the results are permanent. The size will change with your weight just as the rest of your body does. In other words, the fat acts like it was naturally there. You can get a good idea of the final result after 6 months.
