A Good Chance : With fat transfer all of the fat cell dont survive. Usually it is small percentage . There are several way to try to increase survival but none are perfected. The results also depend on how much fat is harvested. Most of the time a small but significant percentage of fat cells survive this should produce a noticeable improvement after each procedure. However, it may take more than one procedure.
