Can you get liposuction and save the fat to do a fat grafting transfer (BBL) at a later date?

Hello,Freezing fat kills fat cells, making any chance of future graft take zero. This is simple biology: frozen fat is dead.  Dead fat is not grafting, it's temporary filler with a high potential for lumps and cysts. Best of luck!

Yes you can save fat for future date.  I suggest you see an expert who does a significant amount of body contouring procedures and uses PRP/puregraft for the harvesting/transfer.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Yes is the answer to your question with he technique that I use.  Please note that not all doctors us the same technique to remove the fat nor process or store the fat for future use if at all.  Survival of the fat and results all depends on the experience and training doing the procedure right.   There are so many doctors that use even procedures that result in minimum or any results whatsoever.

Thank you for your query. The best results of fat transfer are seen when they are freshly harvested and injected immediately as harvested fat has no blood supply of its own and depends on the host site for survival. Your estimate of 1000 cc is quite a big amount and possibilities of fat necrosis and other problems would probably increase if a delayed transfer is carried out. A simultaneous procedure would be ideal I believe. You should discuss these issues with your surgeon.Best wishes,Dr Alexander+

There are a couple of reasons why this won't work. One is that fat is very fragile and works best if handled minimally, transferred immediately and very carefully. Certainly the weeks you are talking about will almost certainly lead to a poor, and worse, unpredictable fat success. The second problem is that storage of large volumes of human tissue is both impractical and very expensive thus increasing the cost of your procedure significantly, and for  worse result. Sorry for the news and hope that helps. Adam Goodwin
