How long can the effects of fat transfer breast augmentation last?

In general, the effect of fat breast augmentation can last from 5 to 10 years, or even longer, although the exact duration varies from person to person.

Autologous fat breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves transplanting fat from other areas of one's own body to the chest to achieve breast enhancement. This method not only enhances breast volume but also improves body contour. Because the patient's own tissue is used, it offers good biocompatibility and a low risk of rejection. The duration of the breast augmentation effect mainly depends on the survival rate of the transplanted fat cells and postoperative care. Generally, about 30%-50% of the transplanted fat cells are absorbed by the body after transplantation, while the remaining fat cells can survive permanently, thereby achieving a long-lasting breast augmentation effect. However, the actual duration of results can be influenced by individual lifestyle habits, weight fluctuations, age, and other factors.

Following the doctor's postoperative recommendations for recovery and care, such as keeping the incision clean and avoiding strenuous exercise, can help promote the survival of transplanted fat cells and stabilize the breast shape, thus prolonging the duration of results. If you experience any discomfort or have questions, please consult your physician promptly.
