There are probably multiple reasons for this to occur, some of which are not entirely preventable. I think I did around 250 or so Brazilian buttlifts last year and I did not have an issue with fat necrosis reported to me by patients or identified on physical exam.

I do not recommend high intensity exercise for 6 weeks after surgery. You should definitely not smoke during that period, and alcohol consumption should be limited. The results will be worth it. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
