Can you store fat from a procedure for later usage?

I recommend scheduling the procedures so that you can use the fat harvested at the same time for the buttock augmentation.  The mommy makeover can be planned as a second procedure so that you can optimize the amount of fat harvested at the first stage.  Fat graft survival is crucial in determining the outcome, so I recommend patients do everything they can to optimize results (which includes not lying on the fat grafts right after surgery and not relying on stored or frozen fat).Best wishes,Dr. Michelle Spring

It is possible to freeze fat and some practices do this.  However, for the best survival of fat for a BBL procedure, the fat should be grafted right away.  From what I have heard, the amounts that are frozen for later use are generally small.  There doesn't seem much point as it is fairly easy to harvest small amounts of fresh fat.  I'm not sure if it would be best to store large amounts of frozen fat for later use.

Brazilian butt lift includes removing fat and
transferring it to the hips and buttocks. We get the fat from areas of
excess fat such as the flanks, backs, and tummy. We prefer fresh fat. Stored fat will have lower survival rates. Many of our patients who need BBL and tummy tuck prefer to do the BBL prior to the tummy tuck. The usual recovery is
1-2 weeks which also depends on your profession. Majority of our
patients are nurses and doctors who do not need to seat at at work and
can return to work in 1 week.  Make sure you see a "real" plastic
surgeon. Do your homework well before the consult.
