The results of autologous fat transfer breast augmentation can be permanent. This procedure involves extracting excess fat from the patient's own body, processing it, and then injecting it into the breasts. Once the transplanted fat cells survive, the results can last long-term. The exact duration also depends on postoperative care. It is recommended that after surgery, the wound area should not come into contact with water.
