Is there a way to prevent fat necrosis after BBL surgery? How?

The best two ways to prevent fat necrosis after Brazilian Button lift are to avoid smoking or recreational drug use and to avoid sitting on the area of fat transfer.  Good luck!

Not restricting blood supply to the fat that is attempting to find a new source is the best way to avoid fat necrosis as a complication. Not smoking or letting the people who take care of you after surgery smoke around you and not sitting or laying on the fat is the best way to protect yourself.Thank you for your question and good luck!Melinda Lacerna, MD FACS

I think that some are technique issues and some are patient issues. Patients should avoid sitting on the buttocks for any extended perior of time during the early healing. They should also not smoke.
