Fat Transfer for Brazilian Butt Lift and Breast Augmentation. Does One Last Longer?

From the information i've gathered online, both the Brazilian Buttock Lift and breast augmentation(not the implant kind) utilizes your own fat to augment and lift. but why is it that butt lift are said to have more permanent and lasting results than breast augmentation using the fat transfer method ?

It may be that what you are talking about is that breast augmentation... more

Does fat last longer in certain areas

When we perform fat transfer there are several factors that influence the overall survival of the fat transferred. One important factor is blood supply in the recipient area.

This is just one of many factors involved.
