Does Fat Injected Deep into the Muscle Last Longer?

November 30, 2010
Asked By:9941anon in San Francisco, CA

I've heard that it is best to have fat injected deep into the muscle when performing a Brazilian butt lift, because fat there is most likely to find a blood source and to last, vs fat injected in superficial layers near the skin; and that this is the South American way of performing the operation. They've been doing this procedure longer than US doctors. Is their method better? My US doc has never heard of this and says there is no benefit to deep injections. Is he just ignorant on this subject?
