How Long Does a Brazilian Butt Lift Last?

I was curious to know how long a brazilian butt lift lasts? I know the fat has a tough time surviving, what happens if it dies in your buttocks, is that safe? Should I be worrying about health risks or it looking bad down the line... or it going away eventually? Thanks so much for addressing my concerns! I don't really know anyone that has had one for a few years.

Brazilian butt left how long does it last

The Brazilian butt lift is a liposuction fat injection. When you do the fat injection you're doing a free graft. This is similar to a skin graft. When you put the fat into the buttocks it initially has no blood supply. After several days the blood vessels will grow into the fat cells and keep the fat cells alive.
