Fat Survival
Depending on how the fat was harvested and prepared, you can typically expect that 20%-30% of the fat will die. That is typical and that is why we overinject fat so that when the fat settles and a percentage dies, you will still have the results you've wanted. I highly suggest that you try to avoid sitting as much as possible for about 2-3 weeks post-operatively. Other than that, there is not much to do besides let the fat settle into that area.

Helping Fat Survive After a Brazilian Butt Lift
After the Brazilian Butt Lift surgery, the patient must not put pressure on the fat grafts for a period of 3 weeks. Ideally, not sit at all on the new fat grafts for 3 weeks to allow a full 'take.'
Why 3 weeks? These are the key things that must happen for a fat graft to be successful:
Blood supply must reach the fat graft before it runs out of nutrients.
Blood vessels must get incorporated into the graft successfully.
All the tissues- fat grafts, blood supply...

How to optimize fat survival after a Brazilian butt lift?

How to enhance fat survival after a Brazilian Butt Lift
Fat survival following buttock augmentation is dependent upon multiple factors. The surgical technique involved in procuring the fat is very important. Thses include prssures that were used as well as processing and injecting the fat, none of which you have control of. Postop I suggest to my patients not to sit for prolonged periods of time on thewir buttocks during the first 4-5 days so as not to put excess pressure on the very sensitive fat cellls which do not yet have a blood supply....

Fat Volume Survival After Brazilian Butt Lift is Variable
How much your injected fat will survive after a Brazilian Butt Lift will not be influenced by anything you do, short of significant weight loss. How the fat was prepared, concentrated and then injected will determine its fate. There are likely other influencing factors on fat graft survival, such as the harvest site of the fat and its innate genetics, that we do not have knowledge of today yet. This is an issue that is beyond your control. Fat survival after injection anywhere can not...
