Does a BBL with fat injected above the muscle yield cellulite and saggy results?

Question

I understand that it’s safer to do it above the muscle and that’s the only way i would do it if I did get a BBL, but I want to know if my butt would be filled with cellulite and sag because of the fat being “out there”.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the pictures and provided information as well.
Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for liposuction and BBL and you'll get great results. 
Answering your question, yes, it's possible that you'll get cellulite but if you get proper massages, the possibility dicreases. 
In general, know that you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 30 or less.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)Dr. Luis Mejia.

Fat transferred to the buttocks can and does improve dimpling.  In the thousands of BBLs I have performed, I have not found the buttocks to look saggy as you heal. In general, the dimpling, which is different from true cellulite, is improved with the BBL and typically resolves with time as the fat becomes part of your body and swelling subsides.

Dear samjake,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a BBL. Liposuction of your abdomen, back and flanks should give you more curves and hourglass shape and fat transfer to buttocks should give you more projection. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Fat injected above the muscle when not spread smoothly can give you irregularities on your skin but not necessary this is the case with every BBL with fat injected above yeh muscles.

Dear SJ,You appear to be a very good candidate for a BBL procedure.  Liposuction of your sides and lower back (and possibly the front of your abdomen) should yield quality fat to augment your buttocks.  The fat would be placed in the subcutaneous layers (not in the muscle as it is way too dangerous) and you should not have issues with cellulite or sagging.Dr T
