I had a bbl done 2years ago, since then I never really sleep on my back. I had a tummy tuck and Lipo 3 weeks ago and I have had to sleep on my back. Can my fat die because it’s looking flatter to me. Pls can you advise what I can do to plump it up again.
Answer: Loss of volume after fat transfer Patients loose between 30-70% of volume of fat grafts in the course of 6-8 months after surgery. After that time remaining volume is permanent since that is patient own fat and behaves as fat in the rest of body; if patient gains weight grafted area will proportional increase in volume and vice versa. It is unlikely that you are loosing fat 2 years after fat transfer. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Answer: Fat loss after bbl - Can my fat die because it’s looking flatter to me. Pls can you advise what I can do to plump it up again. Thank you for your questions. I would discuss your concerns with your surgeon, but usually by 6 months, whatever fat is going to survive the transfer is there to stay. So at 2 years, if you are seeing ongoing changes in volume, it likely has nothing to do with your surgery. Best of luck!Dallas R.

Answer: Fat loss after bbl - Can my fat die because it’s looking flatter to me. Pls can you advise what I can do to plump it up again. About 50% to 75% of the fat survives after the BBL as the literature has demonstrated. Thus, results are PERMANENT after the first few months.Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
