I'd like to know when I'll know how much fat survived (took) and when I'm done loosing fat cells. I am 8 days post bbl and I really don't want to loose any more fat. Has the fat stabilized?
Answer: Fat has not stabilized Unfortunately, at 8 days out from surgery, your fat has not stabilized. You will continue to lose fat cells and swelling over the next few weeks. The earliest time period I'd feel comfortable having you critically analyze the results is approximately 6 weeks postoperatively.Hope this helps - Sam Jejurikar, MD

Answer: Loss of transferred fat Dear lovenoel,there is no exact point in time when fat loss is finished. You can expect to see the final results of your surgery within the next few months. Usually around 30% of transferred fat will be lost during that period of time.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Answer: 8 days post Brazilian butt lift. Has the fat stabilized? Thank you for your question. With Brazilian butt lift we transfer fat from one area of the body to the other. These fat cells are transferred in microinjections throughout multiple planes in the buttock tissue so that they can gain new blood supply and live in their new home, providing increased volume and shape to the buttocks. At this point you are likely seeing changes as a result of decreasing swelling. After surgery there is a predictable swelling process that mostly resolves over two months, when the final result really settles in. The fat that survives is there permanently. Around 70% of fat that is grafted is typically expected tosurvive long term. We also put a little extra to account for loss of fat post operative, which is reabsorbed gradually by the body.

Answer: 8 days post Brazilian butt lift. Has the fat stabilized? Technically fat volume loss occurs for 3-6 months after the surgery. If you lose weight after that point you can obviously lose even more. I find with my patients that the majority of the volume loss happens more so towards the 3 months, so I always tell them that what they have at the 3 month mark is very similar to what they will have for a final result. This is not what you want to hear, but you will lose a lot more of your volume. At 8 days you have swelling from the trauma of the surgery adding to the volume - that swelling will go down pretty rapidly over the next couple of weeks.
