Frequently Asked Questions

While dermal fillers are temporary synthetic or biologic products that dissolve over time, autologous fat transfer uses your own living fat cells for permanent enhancement. Fat transfer also provides the dual benefit of contouring donor areas through liposuction. However, fat transfer is a surgical procedure requiring downtime, while fillers are non-surgical with minimal recovery.

Once the transferred fat successfully integrates and establishes a blood supply, the surviving fat becomes permanent. You can expect 60-80% of the transferred fat to survive long-term, providing lasting volume enhancement. These results are permanent and age naturally with your body, though significant weight fluctuations can affect your outcome.

Good candidates for fat transfer have sufficient fat in donor areas for harvesting, are in good overall health, have realistic expectations about results and fat survival rates, and desire natural-looking volume restoration or enhancement.

Recovery varies depending on the areas treated. Facial fat transfer typically requires less downtime than larger body areas like the buttocks or breasts. Most patients experience swelling and bruising that improves over the first few weeks. You may need to wear a compression garment on donor areas and avoid pressure on treatment areas during initial healing. Your provider will give you specific guidance on activity restrictions, positioning, and what to expect during each phase of recovery.

Most patients experience temporary swelling and bruising during the recovery process.
