Methods To Maximize Fat Survival After a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Are there any measures I can take to store as much fat as possible after it is transferred to my buttocks? I think the doctors will only be able to get 200cc's in each cheek if I'm lucky because I'm quite thin. So I really need that fat to survive! Are there certain techniques, supplements, or anyway to give me maximum fat survival after a fat transfer to the buttocks?

Fat survival after Brazilain butt lift

Fat survival after a Brazilian butt lift is mainly dependent on the surgical technique.

Brazilian butt lift and fat survival

The Brazilian butt lift is a liposuction fat injection. When the fat is injected it has no blood supply so this fat is easily damaged. During the 1st 5 days the fat is probably at his weakest and most easily damaged. I asked my patients not to sit or lay on the buttocks for 10 days. This 10 days is an arbitrary time greater than 5 days. In the best case scenario 65 to 75% of the fat injected will live. If you sit or lay on the fat causing prolonged pressure the fat will die. You still... more
