Dr. Li Fengyong
Autologous fat injection for wrinkle reduction generally lasts about 10 to 20 years. This procedure typically involves harvesting excess fat from the patient's own body, purifying it professionally, and then injecting it into wrinkled areas. With proper postoperative facial care, the results can usually last around 20 years. However, if postoperative care is inadequate, the effects may last only about 10 years. Therefore, the longevity of autologous fat injection for wrinkle reduction depends largely on the quality of postoperative care.
