When does most of the fat absorb after a fat transfer to buttocks?

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.

Thanks for your question. After surgery there is a predictable swelling process that mostly resolves over two months, when the final result really settles in.  

I find that it take a minimum of 4-6 weeks to hit a stability point but it make take up to 3 months for a final end point.
