Can fat cells die 2 years post BBL from trauma?

emarie87Oct 13, 2020

My butt was slapped hard 5 days ago (left a hand print and bruise), and it still feels warm, a little itchy, feels softer, and looks a little different.

Thanks in advance!

Hello, thank you for your question. The amount of fat that you can transfer to your buttocks depends on how much fat you have to begin with. After liposuction, the fat that is obtained will be processed. The "good" fat can then be placed into the buttocks. With a lot of good fat, 1000 cc's of...
