Brazillian Butt Lift/ Fat Transfer.....down the Line? (photo)

When choosing between implants or body fat transfer... Fat transfer seems the best route.. & the most 'natural' a cosmetic procedure can get! After talking with a friend she said that possibly 5..10 years down the line that fat transfer is going to give you a "cottage cheese" butt.. a butt with tons of cellulite... this is the only thing standing between me & the procedure so I want to know.. what does fat transfer behind look like years down the road? Thanks for your time!

Fat transfer to buttocks does not turn into cellulite.

I am a firm believer that fat transfer is the way to go with buttock shaping and augmentation. Not only, are we able to shape and completely re-balance the body silhouette at the same time, but the fat is natural feeling and does not cause problems with visibility and unnatural hardness as you age.

Long term results for BBL

Brazilian Butt Lift Concern

I've been doing fat grafting for multiple sites of the body for many different reasons since 1994. Having followed these patients for several years never have I seen the graft sites look worse as a result of grafting.

I've seen my patients 7-10 years after their procedure and their grafts never converted to "cottage cheese".

Brazilian Butt lift does not cause cellulite

The Brazilian Butt lift is an excellent procedure to reshape the buttock. It is unlikely that this procedure will cause cellulite, because that is a totally different process. Cellulite is more of a genetic problem with the way people deposit fat fibrous tissue.

Dimpling Improved with Brazilian Buttlift

The dimpling of the buttock is frequently improved with the fat transfer, at least in my experience. The fat transfer produces stable results that are best maintained with stable weight.
