Hi. I had a BBL on 3/25 with a good result I didn't sit, made sure to intake adequate calories and wore my compression garment faithfully, about 5 wks after my BBL results started to decrease (booty got smaller) My surgeon is willing to do a revision in six months but I don't want to go through surgery and recovery again if my body will reject the fat.

Answer: Is it possible that my body rejected or reabsorbed the fat? (Photos) Your body did not reject the fat. The results you experienced are typical: at about six weeks 50% of the fat transferred has an established blood supply and is viable. The revision implies that there is less fat than the first time, and scar tissue will make the surgery much more difficult on the surgeon. The percentage of fat survival in the BBL the second time should be about the same. Photos show major improvement in contours from lipo.

Answer: Loss of results of BBL what you describe is typical. This is why fat transfer procedures are often done in an accentuated manner grafting far more fat initially then we anticipate patients having when the results become final. Each plastic surgeon has their own way of doing this procedure including how much they feel comfortable and grafting in a single session for a variety of reasons including safety. Your only option if you want more volume is to have the procedure done twice. The ability to do that is dependent on if you have sufficient amounts of fat to be harvested. Based on your pictures I believe a secondary BBL would work if you would are interested. The percentage of fat survival is highly dependent on technique. Based on your pictures your results are fairly typical. Some of the before and after pictures floating around the Internet are deceptive and unfortunately taken early during recovery. Unfortunately this procedure has the greatest ability to create deceptive images of results. Fake news? Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
