How Long Does It Take to See Results in Fat Transfer to Butt?

About 60% of fat from the transfer is retained and the size will change with your weight just as the rest of your body does. In other words, the fat acts like it was naturally there. You can get a good idea of the final result after 6 months.

This is a very common question as patients want the result
to last and be natural in appearance and feel if they are going to undergo
surgery.



Fat transfer has become so popular because it allows your
surgeon to use your own body tissue for the augmentation. After the first
several months the buttock will feel and look natural as it is your own body
fat.



The results tend to last for years to come if your weight is
stable. Just like any liposuction
procedure, this does not prevent your body from being able to put on
weight.



With the fat transfer patients typically lose about 30% of
the fat that is initially transferred, the fat that is present six months
post-op will remain as long as your weight is stable. If you lose weight you can lose some of the
transferred fat, and if you gain weight you can increase the size of your
buttock. The benefit of the fat transfer
is that the fat is your own and acts just like the fat in other parts of your
body. The benefit of the Brazilian Butt
Lift is not only the fat transferred to your buttock but the shape
transformation. This new shape will last for years as you will now have more of
an hourglass figure than a square shape.



If you are at a healthy weight and maintain that you will be
able to enjoy your results for year to come.




The amount of fat needed depends on the shape and needs of
each individual patient, however in general at least 500cc per buttock need to
be placed to see a significant difference. On average patients typically
receive around 800cc per buttock side for a total of 1600cc of fat
transfer. However just like a breast
augmentation the amount of fat needed various from patient to patient. In your particular case I would put at least
800cc/per side for you.



When considering this procedure it is very important that
you have your procedure performed by a board certified plastic surgeon that
commonly performs this procedure.



I hope this helps.
