Will Brazilian butt lift give you "dents/fat dimples/cottage cheese" as you age?

Question

I have seen people with full figure butts get "dents" or "cottage cheese" as they age, get pregnanat, etc. Will the same effect take place after bbl since the fat is natural?

William Bruno, MD · Answer

The quality of your buttock skin should not change very much due to a fat transfer to the buttock area. If your skin has cellulite before surgery, then it will have cellulite after surgery. The fat generally is injected fairly deep and not superficially to avoid these "dents and dimples". Consult with a few plastic surgeons experienced with this procedure to determine if you are a good candidate.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

It would be very hard to predict who may have this kind of problem after BBL. In general, I would say that patient that have propensity to "dents" and "cottage cheese" deformities over their thighs and buttocks may continue to have it after BBL. We do not know for sure (it will take many years and many thousands of women to study) but is unlikely that this deformity will occur only because of fat grafting.

No likely. I have not seen it happen on my 3 year follow ups. These dents could be more related to genetics or predisposing factors.Ron Hazani, MD

Great question.  In general, fat transfer to the buttocks (BBL) should not give you any additional indentations or cellulite as you age.  This miay depend on skin quality and muscle tone and genetics associated with the ligaments that attach the skin to the buttocks muscle.  The real answer is that it will likely vary but we do not have good ways to know how these factors play out and how they can be measured.All the best,Dr Remus Repta

Steven M. Gitt, MD, FACS (in memoriam) · Answer

Typically, no, BBL should not give you dimples or dents as you age. In that we are transferring fat from one location to another on your body, if the injections are uneven, or if some fat dies in any given area, dents or dimples may form but this should be evident within weeks to months after surgery. Cellulite, however, which is caused by ligaments retracting the skin, is a wholly separate issue that is best treated, and best corrected, with Cellfina.
