I want to get a Brazilian Butt Lift but I heard it goes away in time, Is this true?

   After the first 6 weeks, the result is stable and permanent.  Yes, there are studies to document long term retention.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

This is a very common question as patients want the result
to last if they are going to undergo surgery.




Fat transfer has become so popular because it allows your
surgeon to use your own body tissue for the augmentation. Liposuction is performed over several areas
depending on the individual patient needs, and the amount of fat needed.



The results tend to last for years to come if your weight is
stable. Just like any liposuction
procedure, this does not prevent your body from being able to put on
weight.



With the fat transfer patients typically lose about 30% of
the fat that is initially transferred, the fat that is present six months
post-op will remain as long as your weight is stable. If you lose weight you can lose some of the
transferred fat, and if you gain weight you can increase the size of your
buttock. The benefit of the fat transfer
is that the fat is your own and acts just like the fat in other parts of your
body. The benefit of the Brazilian Butt
Lift is not only the fat transferred to your buttock but the shape
transformation. This new shape will last for years as you will now have more of
an hourglass figure than a square shape.



If you are at a healthy weight and maintain that you will be
able to enjoy your results for year to come.




When considering this procedure it is very important that
you have your procedure performed by a board certified plastic surgeon that
commonly performs this procedure.

About 60% of fat from the transfer is retained and the results are permanent. 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. Up to 25% of the transferred fat may not survive after a fat transfer procedure.. After this initial period, the rest of the fat is permanent. If you lose weight the transferred fat will dissipate along with the rest of the fat on your body. If you are gaining weight, then the fat cells will expand. So if you go through with this procedure just remember, whatever fat remains in the buttocks after a few months will remain. Women who are unhappy with the size of their buttocks frequently seek buttock enhancement. Some feel their buttocks lack shape, while others want to have a more sensuous backside by making them larger and rounder.Buttock enhancement is usually quite successful at making the bottom larger and shapelier. This has helped many women gain that more sensuous appearance. Best of luck!Dhaval M. PatelDouble board certified Plastic surgeonHoffman EstatesBarringtonOakbrookChicago

Hi there-

Provided that you are a good candidate, and that your surgery in performed by a surgeon with a lot of experience in the technique, and that you are very careful to follow all postoperative instructions and maintain yourself after the operation, the benefit of the Brazilian Butt Augmentation to your body contour should be permanent.

Even under the best of circumstances, 15-20% of the fat will be resorbed, thus the need to over-graft to some degree.

With changes in your body habitus (weight gains or losses), of course you should expect your body to change- just as it would have before surgery with changes in your weight. However, provided we are not talking about large swings in weight, the new silhouette you enjoy after the procedure should be maintained.

 

Depending on various studies, anywhere from 50-80% of the fat should survive after a fat transfer to the buttock (aka Brazilian buttock lift). This is very dependent on the technique used to harvest, process and re-inject the fat; which can vary significantly from surgeon to surgeon. It takes about 4-6 months for you to see your final results and you should avoid strenuous exercise for about two months after surgery. Consult with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon before having this procedure.

Best wishes,

Dr.Bruno

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
After a BBL, you lose or gain weight in the same way as before. So the answer is yes, if you lose a considerable amount of weight, the results of your surgery will be affected.
If you have any concerns, I suggest you to follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

It stabilizes after 3 months. Seek a plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.

The Brazilian butt lift is a liposuction fat injection. When you do this procedure you will for ever changed the shape of the body and the buttocks. Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure it is a shape changing procedure. This works because fat cells don't replicate. You are born with a certain number of fat cells when you gain weight so gets bigger and when you lose weight each of its smaller but you don't replicate more fat cells. So when you take fat cells away from the waist and you put them in the buttocks you now shifted storage from the body to the buttocks so when calories, and the body they will store in the buttocks 1st. When you gain or lose weight after surgery this will not change. Now the buttocks will be the 1st place you gain weight and the last-place you lose weight.

Fat grafting to the buttocks is a "natural" way to increase the size of the buttocks.  Each person will keep a percentage of the fat that is transferred.  The fat will go through natural aging as the person gets older.
