Is fat grafting permanent?
Because fat grafting uses your own fat, a significant amount of the transferred fat will survive permanently. Some of the grafted cells may die and the procedure may be repeated but when compared to temporary fillers, the lifespan of grafted fat is much longer. Permanency of graft is also affected by the processing of the graft and the injection technique. Fat deposited in small “pearls” does better than a larger volume placed at one time.
Fat seems to survive better when grafted to upper cheeks, upper nasal region and lower orbital area than the nasolabial folds, lips and lines around the mouth.
