Are the survived fat cells active 4 weeks after Brazilian Butt Lift?

Thank you for your question about Brazilian Butt Lift.At 4 weeks, that fat cells that survived transfer and vascularized.  You will still likely have some general swelling. Usually, you can start to see real results at about 3 months.

To be sure, return to see your surgeon and follow his or her instructions..

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question and congradulations on your wedding!  If you gain weight the fat cells in your butt will get larger! Best of luck!Dhaval Patel

Hello dear!!
Thank you for the question and provided information as well.
The healing process could be from 6 months to a year, depending on the patient. The inflammation and bruising could last months. If you have any concerns, suggest you follow up with your plastic surgeon.
Be patient, it is too soon to determine your final result.
Good luck :)

Generally what reabsorbs is in the first three months and at that point typically 30% will have been lost (due to lack of oxygen and nutrients).

At four weeks post op, the fat cells that remain will most likely survive for the long term and will act like the rest of your body.

If the fat cells have survived by 4 weeks, then they should respond similarly as fat elsewhere in the body. Best of luck.

At 4 weeks post-op most of the cells that have survived will most likely survive. An additional piece of good news is that studies have shown that if you gain weight the fat cells in your buttocks will also enlarge. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding.
