I recently had a fat transfer to buttocks. Am I supposed to see the result right away or does it take time for the butt to become full from the fat transfer?

You should see results from fat grafting right away

With fat grafting, you should see the results right away. In fact, the area should be a bit swollen, making the initial results look even better than they will end up. When you are having fat grafting to the buttock, it takes a considerable amount of fat, which you may not have had. It is best to discuss this with your doctor.

Fat Transfer Results to the Buttocks

The results that you see after fat transfer to the buttocks should be immediate. You are also general pretty sore as well because a lot of fat is often transferred into the muscle. The amount of soreness and the results you see is usually directly proportional to the amount of fat injected. Unlike the face, the buttock requires a significant amount of volume to give nice results. This is generally several 100cc of fat per side on the buttocks.

This is partially because we usually over-correct, knowing that some of the fat that we transfer will be reabsorbed as well due to the normal swelling of the area which occurs with surgery. It does take a relatively large volume of fat to make a significant size increase, so if you don't see any change, you may need to have more fat injected. It will definitely not get large more

Fat transfer results should be immediate

Hi there- The visible result from fat augmentation of the buttocks (Brazilian Butt Lift) surgery should be immediate, and in fact this is when the volume should be the greatest, as there is swelling and most surgeons believe in over-augmenting the area in anticipation that your body will absorb some of the fatty tissue. Generally some of the volume will be lost over the next 2-3 months in most cases. It bay be that you did not have an adequate volume of fat available for grafting, and... more
