I am interested in a BBL procedure. I already have enough of a butt that many in my daily life already think I've gotten a BBL, but I want a little more, mainly to change the shape of my booty. I know that not all injected fat survives, so my question is, When some of the newly transferred fat dies overtime, will it affect/ kill/ change the contours of the existing, pre-surgery butt? As in, could I eventually end up with a flatter booty than BEFORE surgery? Thanks.
Answer: Fat transfer Dear Enthusiastic66065, in most cases 30-50 % of transferred fat is lost after some time, but it should have no negative effect on your fat. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: BBL - when 40% (or whatever the exact percentage is) of the injected fat dies, does it affect your existing (natural) fat? Hello, thank you for your question. the fat transfer to your butt in order to obtain more projection should not damage your existing fat. I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for proper evaluation.

Answer: Fat transfer influence on existing gluteal fat The fat transfer does not affect the actual fat where it’s being injected but can leave problematic outcomes when done poorly.It cannot leave you with less fat or a flatter bottom than when you started.It can potentially lead to undesirable outcomes from someone grafting fat were you really didn’t want volume, too much fat being grafted, fed grafted in a way that leads to palpable fat necrosis with hard possibly painful nodules.When done correctly these things should not and do not happen.I suggest having multiple in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons who have extensive experience with this procedure.Successful fat transfer delivering consistent results as a fairly steep learning curve before being mastered.Best, Mats Hagstrom MD

Answer: VASER Liposuction and BBL Hello and thank you for the question! The optimal Brazilian butt lift outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat, 2) a closed looped system such as Puregraft to process the fat, and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique. These three processes have demonstrated over 95% fat graft take. This means that your results will be stable as long as you maintain your weight. As an official VASER trainer, I am routinely referred unhappy BBL patients. One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons. A buttocks assessment tool can be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing. Respectfully, Arian Mowlavi MD,FACS Realself 100 Hall of Fame Inductee
