I'm 32 yrs. old no children yet. I'd like to know how much fat is needed to survive once I do My BBL. I'm scared I won't have enough and if the little amount that I have will survive long term, has anyone whose done a bbl been in this situation where they don't see a difference once they've had it done?!

Answer: BBL results Typically about 60-70% of the transferred fat to the buttock/hips will survive after a fat transfer procedure. The fat that survives is permanent. I recommend consulting with a few plastic surgeons in person for more information since it's difficult to comment further without seeing photos.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

Answer: BBL Questions Hello, thanks so much for your inquiry. Although every BBL patient is different, a rate of 40% of the fat injected is absorbed, if you keep your weight stable afterwards the fat that was grafted is permanent.Please make sure that you and your surgeon are on the same page. Don't forget to discuss all your concerns, options and expectations thoroughly. Have a safe and pleasant PS Journey!Respectfully,Dr. Jaime Campos-LeonBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon
