Hi thank you for all the answers always :) Now to my question , I'm 8 months post op I lost volume in my butt , I'm still at the same weight so I don't know why my butt has shrank. Is it maybe because , i am sitting long time on my butt ( working on a desk, sitting at home on my couch watching tv ) for a long period ?
Answer: Fat Lost after BBL Thank you for your question, at 8 months sitting for prolonged amounts of time should not affect the outcome of your BBL. Generally up to 50% of the fat injected into the buttocks survives and the your results 4-6 month post-op is often permanent.

Answer: Sitting and BBL Dear anon45092,in most cases 30-40% of transferred fat is lost after few months. Prolonged pressure can have negative effect on final result in the early stages of recovery. However, 8 months after the transfer it should not be the cause of decrease in size. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Answer: Sitting after BBL Thank you for your question. At this time it shouldn't be a problem. The pressure caused by sitting is not sufficient to affect viability of the fat cells. The fat that survives after the surgery is there permanently.

Answer: Can sitting for long periods of time after a BBL cause problems? In my experience, the volume of the buttocks that is present at 4 to 6 weeks is the volume that stays. About 50% of the fat injected obtains permanence. This will be dependent to some extent on surgical technique and the result the surgeon typically generates. The buttocks will only decrease in size if a significant portion of your overall body fat stores are lost. Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Brazilian Butt Lift Thank you for your question. In a Brazilian Butt Lift procedure, not all of the fat transferred survives, part of it dies in the process. It is hard to estimate how much because it can vary. Fat also weighs very little, so you may not notice a difference in your weight.
