This garment should be smooth, without, creases and just snug enough to be worn for the month after the procedure. Please... more

Fat transfer has been proven to be effective and successfull. It is technique dependant and experience matters. Fat graft to the hips is very successfull, and about 60-80% of the injected fat will stay. Every plastic surgeon has his/her own post op instruction and care. You need to follow their protocol for optimal results. If they have not given you a sheet of instructions for preop. and post op care then ask the doctor and write it down. Good luck

Hip Fat Transfer with Brazilian Buttlift

Hip fat transfer at the same time as Brazilian buttlift is performed frequently. The answers to some of your questions depends on exactly where the fat was injected.
