BBL - Does the injection go above the muscle or in the muscle?

Thank you for your question. Best injection technique involves small amounts placed in multiple planes under the skin, in the muscle throughout the entire region to give an overall large volume enhancement. Depending on the technique used, this results in 60 to 80% of injected volume permanent.

Hi. Great question. IMHO the best results are obtained when the harvested fat is injected in multiple planes or levels. The majority of the fat I transfer goes into the the subcutaneous space where fat already lives. However, I also inject small amounts sub-muscularly or below the muscle. Always remember that the key is............ does the surgeon have a keen sense of aesthetics? Can he/she create a shapely, attractive buttock or are they just technicians that wind up with large unshapely behinds? The same holds true for the liposuction portion of the procedure. Understand that liposuction whether SAL, PAL or UAL ( not including LAL because the fat obtained through this technique will not be useful) is not that technically challenging. However, the keen aesthetic eye will determine the eventual work of art.We are creators and have the ability to turn out beautiful works of art. Simply put................not all artists create quality work. I wish you the best on your journey and good luck. Dr. PG

Surgeons will differ on manner of injection and depth.  This can be difficult to determine as a patient.  I would focus on finding a surgeon with whom you resonate based upon results and before and after pictures rather than technical aspects of the surgery.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
