contents The recent work of Morini-Oronzio-Spadaro and the third author shows that, in three dimensions, a flat-flow solution of the volume-preserving mean curvature flow that converges to a single ball, which is the case for instance when the initial perimeter is less than that of two disjoint balls, converges exponentially fast in Hausdorff distance. In this paper we strengthen this result by proving that after a finite time the flow becomes smooth, satisfies the equation in the classical sense and converges exponentially fast to the limiting ball in every C^k-norm. In the proof we develop a version of Brakke's epsilon regularity theorem adapted to our setting and derive the necessary nonlinear PDE estimates directly at the level of the discrete minimizing-movement scheme. The same result holds in the planar case.
