Will the fat stay in your hip area after getting a BBL?

Question

i have hip dips and am getting a bbl will the fat that i get moved there stay or will it go back to the way it was

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

About 60% of fat from the transfer is retained and the results are permanent. The size will change with your weight just as the rest of your body does. In other words, the fat acts like it was naturally there. You can get a good idea of the final result after 6 months.

Nobody likes hip dips.  Fat transfer with a BBL can correct this when done properly.  The combination of removal of fat above, and sometimes below, the dip with filling into the dip can often fully correct the issue.  Be sure to consult with a plastic surgeon board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.  Best of luck.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
After a BBL, only about 70% of the transferred fat cells will survive, so it is normal to see a minor reduction in your buttocks and/or hips. If you have any concerns, I suggest you to follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

Hi. About a 20% of the transfered fat will be reabsorbed by the body, the rest will stay an will integrate by the receptor area. Its important to choose a good lipo technique that keep the integrity of the adyposite (fat cell) for its survival.Dominican Board Certified Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon
