When Is Fat Considered Permanent After A BBL?

What is alive at this point in time should be permanent as long as you don't do anything to injure it. It is still healing. The big question is, How much is alive?

There may be a slight amount of shrinkage over the following few months, but it is usually very minimal. Good luck, and still be careful!
