FAQ

If I want another fat transfer, when can I have it?

Dr. Oh’s answer

Dr. Oh Hae Seok, Medical Director

We recommend waiting at least 3–6 months, because it takes about 3 months to see how much of the transferred fat has stayed.

In the first month after fat transfer, swelling goes down and fat that has not taken is absorbed. Only after about 3 months can you see how much of the transferred fat has stayed. Usually about 50% remains.

We need to see how much remains before deciding how much more to add. That is why, whether it is the breasts or the buttocks, we suggest leaving 3–6 months between each session.

In the meantime, please try not to lose weight. If you lose weight, less of the fat stays.
