Are Brazilian Butt Lift Results Permanent?

Hi there-
The short answer to your question is yes, the result you achieve should be permanent.
The longer answer is that some of the fat initially placed will be absorbed and lost over the first few weeks after surgery. Whatever fat "takes" and is present after the first month or 6 weeks is what you should get to keep.
It is very important that you find a surgeon experienced in this technique, as there is not question that this procedure, even more than most, is very experience dependent.

This is a very common question as patients want the result
to last if they are going to undergo surgery.




The Brazilian Butt Lift is so popular because it enables
your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. Liposuction is performed over several areas
depending on the individual patient needs, but typically of the flanks,
abdomen, back and thighs. So this is
going to change your entire shape.



The results tend to last for years to come if your weight is
stable. I would not say that the results
are permanent as we all continue to lose some fat overtime as we age. I is just
part of the natural aging process.



With the fat transfer patients typically lose about 30% of
the fat that is initially transferred however the fat that is present six
months post-op will remain as long as your weight is stable. If you lose weight you can lose some of the
transferred fat, and if you gain weight you can increase the size of your
buttock. The benefit of the fat transfer
is that the fat is your own and acts just like the fat in other parts of your
body.



If you are at a healthy weight and maintain that you will be
able to enjoy your results for year to come.
The Brazilian Butt Lift is one of the procedures that patient are almost
universally extremely happy with after surgery.




When considering this procedure it is very important that
you have your procedure performed by a board certified plastic surgeon.



I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. The answer is yes if you follow ll your PS advise you will have long term results.  I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Fat grafting is a long-lasting solution to lost volume and decreased projection. While some of the fat cells resorb after injection, the correct technique of harvesting purified, healthy fat cells ensures less resorption and maximum results. After surgery, it is important to be aware that the fat injected into the buttock will naturally act the same as the fat everywhere else in your body. If your weight changes, so will the projection and contour of your buttocks. Before getting a BBL, it is important to consult with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to determine whether you are a candidate for the procedure.

About 60% of fat from the transfer is retained and the size will change with your weight just as the rest of your body does. In other words, the fat acts like it was naturally there. You can get a good idea of the final result after 6 months.

The Brazilian butt lift can create significant aesthetic
changes in the buttock region, but these changes are never permanent. As plastic surgeons we frequently set the
clock back, but we never stop the clock from ticking. In other words your new
buttock will eventually experience the impact of gravity.The
Brazilian butt lift involves transferring fat from donor sites to the buttock
area. When this procedure is performed not all of the grafted fat survives. It’s
therefore very difficult to judge the results of this procedure in the
immediate post-operative period. This is made even more difficult by the
presence of significant swelling which takes time to resolve.The
survival of fat cells is dependent upon re-establishing blood supply. This
process should be complete within two to three months of the fat transfer. At
this point the fat cells should behave in a normal manner.This
doesn’t mean that your buttock contour is permanent. Over the course of time it
will be impacted by normal aging and the impact of gravity. Individual fat
cells may still respond to fluctuations in weight and this can ultimately
effect the contour and projection of your buttock. It’s safe to say that if
your weight is stable, your buttocks should experience the normal changes that
occur throughout life.
