Some doctors claim that fat transfer results are permanent, but most everywhere else it says that results are temporary. Can you help to clear this up?
Answer:
A fat transfer will result in some of the transferred fat becoming living tissue which should be a permanent improvement, however the natural aging process will continue to have volume loss and so patients will need more volume over time. We have many patients where we can document good persistence of the transferred fat more than 10 years after the procedure.
