Answer: Fat graft survival Most surgeons quote around 60% fat graft survival rate. There are studies that suggest that graft survival decreases with increased pressure common with large volume transfers. Therefore, I prefer to process the fat in a way that decreases the total volume transferred so as to decrease the pressure within the buttocks after the transfer and thus increase fat graft survival. Don't get hung up on the volume of fat transferred as this varies based on the way the fat is transferred, as most of the time all of the fat harvested is used to change your shape if necessary and augment your buttocks. Hope this helps and best wishes.

Answer: When doing a BBL - how much of the injected fat usually stays? To my understanding it is only 1/3? Is that about right? I always try to liposuction as much as possible and transfer as much as possible so that patients are happy in the end. I think that graft survival probably averages about 60%.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Fat Volume Retention from BBL It is hard to predict in any single patient how much fat is retained from a BBL procedure as there are numerous variables. But your thought of one-third is a conservative but wise estimate. It is always better to think less will stay than more. That is the best way to avoid being disappointed form the outcome.
