What is Fat Injection?
Fat injection is the injection of fat tissue taken from the person's own body into the face, lips, chin, under the eyes or body parts after undergoing special processes. This method is frequently preferred both to gain volume and to improve skin quality.

Is Fat Injection Permanent?
Fat injection is a permanent application; however, the important detail here is that not all of the injected fat is permanent. In the first few months after the procedure, some of the fat cells are naturally absorbed by the body. Usually, 40-60% of the injected fat is permanent.

How Does the Permanence Process Work?
The first 3 months after the procedure are a critical period. During this process, the fat tissue tries to adapt to its new location. If the vessels that provide blood flow integrate with the injected fat, these cells become permanent. A visible decrease in volume is normal in the first month; the remaining volume maintains its permanence for a longer period.

What Factors Affect Permanence?

The person's age and skin structure: The adherence rate is higher in young and elastic skin.

Application area: Injections made to thin areas of the face may last longer, while adhesion may be less in mobile areas (such as the lips).

Smoking: It may negatively affect the adhesion of the fat by disrupting vascular circulation.

Post-procedure care: Carefully following the doctor's recommendations increases permanence.

Experienced practitioner: Performing the procedure by a specialist physician with the appropriate technique also makes a big difference.

How Long Does It Last?
After the first application, the fat cells that hold on can maintain their permanence for an average of 2 to 5 years. In some cases, especially in areas such as the face, permanence can last longer than 5 years. However, over time, there may be a decrease in volume due to aging, weight changes and environmental factors.

Reinforcement Sessions If Necessary
One of the advantages of fat injection is that it can be applied to the same area again if necessary. After a few months have passed since the first session, the remaining volume is evaluated and additional sessions can be planned if needed. This provides a more balanced and long-lasting result.

Conclusion
Fat injection is a natural method that provides permanent results. However, the first months after the procedure require patience and attention. Although there are many factors that affect permanence, it can provide years of satisfaction with the right technique and good care. The important thing in such procedures is to clearly discuss your expectations with your doctor and have the procedure done by an expert.
