How Long Does Brazilian Butt Lift Results Last?

Hi there-
As long as it is done by an experienced BBL surgeon, your outcome should be permanent.
Once the fatty tissue "takes", meaning that it has re-established a blood supply, there should be no reason it would "melt away"...
Having said that, if you were to lose a major amount of weight, your buttocks will get smaller (just as the rest of you would), but the SHAPE of your butt and its relationship to your other body contours should be maintained.
These are prime reasons why our BBL patients are so very happy.
Please see my BBL before and afters here on RealSelf for confirmation.

This is a very common question as patients want the resultto last if they are going to undergo surgery.



Fat transfer has become so popular because it allows yoursurgeon to use your own body tissue for the augmentation. Liposuction is performed over several areasdepending on the individual patient needs, and the amount of fat needed.



The results tend to last for years to come if your weight isstable. Just like any liposuctionprocedure, this does not prevent your body from being able to put on weight.



With the fat transfer patients typically lose about 30% ofthe fat that is initially transferred, the fat that is present six monthspost-op will remain as long as your weight is stable. If you lose weight you can lose some of thetransferred fat, and if you gain weight you can increase the size of yourbuttock. The benefit of the fat transferis that the fat is your own and acts just like the fat in other parts of yourbody. The benefit of the Brazilian ButtLift is not only the fat transferred to your buttock but the shapetransformation. This new shape will last for years as you will now have more ofan hourglass figure than a square shape.



If you are at a healthy weight and maintain that you will beable to enjoy your results for year to come.



When considering this procedure it is very important thatyou have your procedure performed by a board certified plastic surgeon thatcommonly performs this procedure.



I hope this helps.

4-ever! The fat transferred to your buttocks is your own fat. As long as your weight does not fluctuate, neither will the volume of your buttocks. Drooping and sagging will still happen as it is a normal part of aging but a good BBL should last 10-20 years.

The healthy fat tissue transferred to the buttock needs to pick up blood supply in order to survive. Your body will dissolve and breakdown the fat tissue which has been damaged during the transfer and the fat that didn't pick up blood flow. Any fat that survives after 3 months is expected to stay permanently. That's why the best outcome is achieved by: 1- handling the fat tissue very gently during the harvest and transfer to avoid damaging it2- Avoid pressure on the transferred fat3- Avoid smoking or vaping nicotine, which shuts down the blood flow and increases fat lossYour results should be permanent provided you maintain your weight and a healthy lifestyle.

Thank you for your question. Results are permanent as long as your post op directions are followed. Please refer to your surgeon with any further questions.

The results of Brazilian butt lift surgery are visible immediately after the surgery but the butt to take its final form happens 1 year after the surgery. The settling of the fat takes time. The results of this surgery appears natural and feels natural. However, the size of the butt may decrease over time. A part of the size gained right after surgery disappears because a part of the fat is absorbed by your body (approximately 60-80% of the injected fat is permanent, more or less is permanent can be different patients). As it heals and as you notice that your wish to have a more sizable butt is realized, your satisfaction with your new appearance will also increase, because the fat that is transferred may decrease or increase just like the fat in other parts of your body.
