Does a BBL really last forever? And do you really gain weight in other areas after a BBL, IF you do gain weight?

Dear SassiGirl, Thanks for your question. The Brazilian butt lift surgery is a long-lasting procedure. However, if
you happen to lose weight, the fat will shrink – and if you gain
weight, the fat will expand. In most cases, about 70% of the injected
fat will remain in the area, and about 30% will be reabsorbed by the
body. Find and visit several board certified plastic surgeons for a consultation. Best of luck with your search!

Dear SassiGirl,The BBL is the basically a fat transfer from areas we don`t want them to areas we really want them. This means that this fat will act as what it is, like Fat. If you gain or lose weight this fat would be affected. The same way the area from where the fat was harvest won`t gain weight at the same pace because it lacks of fat cells. Where ever you have not removed fat are the places where you are going to see changes with the weight gain. Best wishes.

​Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
After liposuction, the areas treated are not likely to regain fatty fullness, as many fat cells have been removed. These areas have reduced fat storage capacity.
However, if weight gain occurs, the fat will be stored in areas that have not been liposuctioned. This is why you should try to eat healthy and exercise on a regular basis, so you can maintain the results long term.
Hope this helps. Good luck :)

Hi, SassiGirl. Very important questions regarding BBLs!  There is absolutley the potential that a BBL, or more accurately the transferred grafted fat, may last forever.  And that fat, if well-incorporated in its new home, will expand and shrink with weight gain and weight loss. However, it is also possible for the fat to gradually atrophy or fade away. And it is also possible that the fat transferred does not "take" at the time of surgery, or that there may be a loss of the transferred fat after surgery due to pressure or trauma, poor circulation or infection. Whether one does a BBL, or simply has liposuction, it is important to try to maintain one's weight, as it is common for areas not treated with liposuction to accumulate the new and expanded fatty deposits with weight gain. Weight fluctuations can reek havoc on the skin itself, further damaging the skin elasticity. Good luck if you do decide to pursue a BBL. For many, a BBL and resultant liposculpture can be a very satisfying procedure, improving one's overall contour, enhancing the buttock contour and volume, and often i proving the overall appearance of the buttock skin. I strongly encourage you to seek an experienced and well-trained plastic surgeon -- determination of appropriate candidacy, good design and execution of the procedure, and diligent, knowledgeable aftercare all have a strong impact on results. 

 Without a question a certain percentage of transferred fat well last forever.Both liposuction and fat transfer will permanently change someone's fat distribution.If someone gains weight or loses weight they will do so based on their new fat distribution.It's not that you gain weight in other areas you will simply gain or lose weight based on where you're fat is.
