Fat grafting to face in Korea - how long do results really last?

Facial fat grafting is durable but partially unpredictable: a portion of the transferred fat is reabsorbed in the first 3–6 months, and what survives after that is generally considered long-lasting (often years). Typical retention is roughly 40–70% depending on technique, the area, and your healing, which is why some patients have a touch-up session to reach the final volume. Compared with filler, grafting is a bigger one-time procedure with downtime but avoids repeat product costs and can look very natural for broad volume loss in cheeks/temples; filler is quicker and adjustable but temporary. Skilled micro-fat/nano-fat grafting in experienced hands gives the most consistent take.

This is general information — an in-person consultation with a board-certified specialist is the only way to get advice tailored to your anatomy and goals.
