After fat grafting, some cells establish a blood supply while others are gradually resorbed. An exact percentage cannot be guaranteed.
What matters
Harvesting, processing, small-volume placement, recipient blood supply, smoking and weight stability matter. Early volume includes swelling.
How planning works
Tissues, proportions, previous procedures, expectations and long-term stability are assessed.
When to seek consultation
An individual plan is discussed during consultation. Related service: fat grafting.
FAQ
Is there one best method?
No. The method depends on anatomy, goals and safety.
Can a photograph provide the answer?
A photograph is useful for orientation but cannot replace examination.
