How Long Does Fat Injection Last in Hips for Someone Who is Rectangular Shaped?

Tags: hips, longevity, side effects

I am rectangular shaped, hence I have flat or no hips. My measurements follow 34-28-36. Is it possible to have fat just inserted into my hips (not my behind) in order to create some curves? How long will the fat last in my hips? How much will I need to inject in order for it to last a life time? Are there any side effects?

Fat may last a lifetime, we do not know for sure in all cases however. There is always risk of some fat loss which is dependent on many factors. Thank you for your question and good luck with everything.

Fat transfer can be done to the hips. You should expect most of the transferred fat to take and be permanent. The longevity of fat transfer is at least 5 years.(permanent). About 60-80% of the total fat should take if done properly. Fat transfer is injector dependent.
