I'd like to know if a BBL is permanent and if it will shrink over time, sag, or get smaller with exercise. Does it soften up after the procedure and become natural and bouncy?

Answer: How permanent is a Brazilian Butt lift? Thank you for your question. Fat transfer to the buttocks is permanent. This does not mean that you will not have changes with weight gain or loss; the fat cells can get larger or shrink. The results depend on the technique of the surgeon, experience, artistic skill and sculpting of the surrounding areas. With stable weight, you should maintain your new shape long term.

Answer: Fat viability Dear marie_7890,BBL is considered as a permanent solution for buttocks augmentation. In most cases 30-40% of transferred fat will be lost few months after the surgery. Fat viability depends a lot of surgeon technique. The fat has to be placed back into the buttocks as soon as possible so that it has a greater chance of survival. It has to be placed carefully so that not too much fat is placed in only one area.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am. Society of Plastic Surgery
