Can successful fat grafting be damaged years later, causing the fat to die? 7 Years post BBL.

Question

Can fat transfer initially take to an area, but then fail years later? I am wondering if a successful fat transfer to the butt can be damaged, causing the fat to die years later. For example, if someone had a successful fat transfer to the butt, then years later they fell on the area, or had trauma to a surrounding area, could the fat disappear and die? It's been 7 years since my BBL and it took successfully, will thigh lipo under the butt likely agitate the transferred fat, causing it to die?

Dear AnnaVal,any injury to the buttocks can cause fat necrosis but liposuction of your thighs should have no negative effect on the fat transferred to your buttocks. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD
