What Does the Body Look Like One Year After a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Hi there-

Your question hits the nail on the head!

I, too, see many photos of BBL outcomes that were taken very early after surgery (inappropriately so in some cases- there is even a surgeon on this site who shows "after" pictures clearly taken while the patient was STILL IN THE OR!).

Obviously what people like yourself want to know is that they will look great for a long time after surgery, right?

It is very important to be discerning in your evaluation of outcomes and ask questions like this one. In the right hands, the BBL is an excellent way to permanently improve the appearance of your backside.

 

About 60% of fat from the transfer is retained and 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.

Thank you for your question! The post results on patients depend on their personal lifestyle! If you loose weight your buttocks will shrink, if you gain weight it will increase. Best of luck!Dr Dhaval PatelDouble Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Chicago Hoffman Estates Oak Brook

Patients will typically look the same at six months as they do at one year after a fat transfer to the buttocks (Brazilian buttock lift). The fat cell survival and the appearance of the buttock is stable at about six months. After that time, there is little change in the fat cell size (volume).

Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation to determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure.

Best wishes,

If the fat takes it should stay the same. Seek a plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.
