Most of the fat survives in a brazilian buttock lift

Depending on various studies, anywhere from 50-80% of the fat should survive after a fat transfer to the buttock (aka Brazilian buttock lift). This is very dependent on the technique used to harvest, process and re-inject the fat; which can vary significantly from surgeon to surgeon. It takes about 4-6 months for you to see your final results and you should avoid strenuous exercise for about two months after surgery. Consult with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon before having... more

Fat grafting vs implants

Hello, There are really on two ways to increase the volume and projection of your buttocks. One option is silicone implants the second is fat grafting (brazilian butt lift). In a brazilian butt lift, the fat that survives will be present forever as long as your weight remains stable. If performed properly, about 75% of the fat that is placed will survive. All the best, Dr Repta

Fat Grafting Gives Long Lasting Brazilian Butt Lift Results

It is expected and normal that some of the fat injected will resorb over the first 6 months. In my experience, the amount that resorbs is 20% - 30%. The remainder should be long lasting. That is why we try to overcorrect at the time of initail fat grafting..

Brazilian butt lift does the fat go away

The Brazilian butt lift is a liposuction fat injection. When you do this procedure you will for ever changed the shape of the body and the buttocks. Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure it is a shape changing procedure. This works because fat cells don't replicate. You are born with a certain number of fat cells when you gain weight so gets bigger and when you lose weight each of its smaller but you don't replicate more fat cells. So when you take fat cells away from the waist... more

Duration and Longevity of Fat Grafting of the Buttock (Brazilian Butt Lift)

The volume of the fat augmented buttock would depend on how much of the fat grafted into the buttocks survived the transfer AND how much of it survives your body' subsequent metabolic needs. Anywhere up to 30-40% of the fat transferred may not survive. But if you then proceed to lose a massive amount of weight, ALL fat cells in the body would deflate, including the buttocks. This is another reason why gaining weight for a Brazilian Butt Lift followed by weight loss makes little sense. more

Brazilian Butt Lift Longevity

Like any surgical procedure, the practitioner performing the operation is the biggest factor towards a successful outcome. So the first important thing to do is consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who frequently performs this operation. The transferred fat (fat grafts) are subject to several variables that affect the survival rate. I agree with some of the other answers that remaining fat after the first several months will not go away. Significant weight... more

Longevity Of Fat Grafting In The Buttocks

The final result from injecting fat into the buttocks (aka Brazilian Butt LIft) depends on how well the fat survives. What percent will survive varies with each person and could be anywhere from 25% to 100% in my experience. There are many factors that affect that survival, not the least of which is how much fat is injected. Whatever loss will occur happens in the first three months. Thereafter the result will be stable [provided one does not lose a lot of weight.

Brazilian Buttock Augmentation

Fat grafting to the buttocks is a "natural" way to increase the size of the buttocks. Each person will keep a percentage of the fat that is transferred. The fat will go through natural aging as the person gets older.

Survival of Fat after Brazilian Butt Lift can be Permanent

Hi there- Provided that you are a good candidate, and that your surgery in performed by a surgeon with a lot of experience in the technique, and that you are very careful to follow all postoperative instructions and maintain yourself after the operation, the benefit of the Brazilian Butt Augmentation to your body contour should be permanent.
