Introduction
Fat grafting for temple hollowing generally lasts from 1 to 5 years, with the duration depending on fat survival, individual absorption rates, and metabolic conditions. If the fat survival rate is relatively high, the results may last longer—approximately 3 to 5 years. However, if the fat survival rate is low, the effects might only last about 1 year.

Fat grafting to correct sunken temples generally lasts from 1 to 5 years, with the duration depending on fat cell survival, individual absorption rates, and metabolic conditions. Specific details are as follows:

1. Fat Survival

If the fat graft survival rate is high, results may last longer—approximately 3 to 5 years. However, if the survival rate is low, the effects may only last about one year.

2. Individual Absorption

If the patient has low absorption capacity, the results of fat grafting for the temples can last longer, around 4 years. Conversely, if the patient's absorption capacity is high, the results may only last about one year.

3. Metabolism

If the patient has a fast metabolism, the body may absorb the transplanted fat within 1 to 2 years. Patients with slower metabolism may retain the results for up to approximately 5 years.

After undergoing fat grafting, patients should maintain a balanced diet, avoid massaging or applying pressure to the treated area to prevent compromising fat cell survival. Adequate sleep, a light diet, and balanced nutrition are also recommended.
