How : How long fat transfer takes depends on how much fat is removed and how much needs to be grafted. For the face the range is about 30 minutes to 2 hours. Grafting larger volumes to other parts of the body would take longer.

The : The procedure itself can take minutes or hours. Recovery depends on where and how much fat was transferred.

The : The time will vary depending on the amount of fat you need to transfer.If it is a small amount maybe 30 minutes however if you are talking say a complete buttock augmentation then the time may be 2 or 3 hours.www.beautybybrueck.com.

It is impossible: It is impossible to answer without knowing the specific procedure you are referring to. While shorter surgical time might be appealing, it might also mean a less satisfying outcome since fat transfer results are highly dependent on surgical technique, experience, and skill. It might also be worth noting that you will likely have some discomfort as well as some swelling after surgery.
