Does Scar Tissue Effect if Fat Can Be Transfered?

Hello. The more scar tissue you have the harder it becomes to harvest fat. This makes the procedure longer do to the need to release more tissue. You should contact a surgeon who has had prior experience with excessive scarring to ensure the best results possible. If you choose to gain weight before the procedure you should be sure that you are at a stable weight at the time of surgery because losing weight post op may cause lumps or other deformities.

The scar tissue may prevent your buttock sfrom expanding when the new fat is placed. This may explain why you did not get the result you wanted. You may benefit from more aggressive internal disruption of the scar tissue.

   Scar tissue in the area was probably very significant in that area.  If fat cannot expand the scarred area as well as in normal tissue, then the volume will appear less.  I think that your surgeon is being very generous and very honest.  Good luck.
