What should I do for Brazilian butt lift reabsorption concern?

It can happen.  It usually doesn't more than about twenty or even thirty percent.  I used to tell patients up to sixty percent so they would expect less and be pleased with more.  The lipo transfer techniques have changed and fat banking is an option now in order to reinject without having to undergo the liposuction again.  It's a thought and I offer it to my patients when they are not able to deal with the possibility of resorption.

 

 

About 60% of fat from the transfer is retained and the results are permanent. 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
great benefit of the Brazilian Butt Lift is that is uses your own body fat for
the augmentation and avoids the need for implants. The fat however survives as a graft, which
means that the fat has to be incorporated to the surrounding tissue. The fat then feels and acts just like fat in
another parts of your body. This is why
you can have such a natural feel to your butt. It also means that you will have
a result that will last you for years to come after the initial fat loss.

There
are several things that you can do to decrease the amount of fat that is
absorbed. One is not sitting after your
procedure. The pressure of sitting can
injure the fat and cause the fat that has been transferred to be absorbed. The fat needs time to heal and become
incorporated in your butt.

If
you are a smoker, stop. Smoking also
impedes the healing and incorporation of the fat that has been transferred to
your buttock. Smoking causes vasoconstriction,
which limits the blood flow to you newly transferred fat. The fat needs that blood supply to survive
and give you the best result possible.

Platelet
Rich Plasma (PRP) has recently gained popularity for aesthetic procedures
including enhancement of fat transfer procedures and particularly the Brazilian
Butt Lift. The idea is that the PRP is a
collection of growth factors. This
collection of growth factors is injected into the area where the fat has been
transferred to improve the overall survival of the fat transferred and helping
patients maintain their butt enhancement.


With
all of the above recommendations patients will still lose some portion of their
fat that has been transferred for their Brazilian Butt Lift. In general I do put as much fat as possible
into the buttock, that it can safely handle.
This will help patients achieve the best aesthetic result possible.

Please
consult with your board certified plastic surgeon that performs a high volume
of butt augmentations to help guide you through your procedure.
