Good news! Fat transfer to the buttocks, often known as a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), can be semi-permanent. While some initial fat absorption may occur in the first few months, the majority of the transferred fat cells establish their own blood supply and become permanent residents of your booty. That means you can enjoy a fuller, rounder backside for years to come!

Fat transfer, when performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon, is generally considered a safe procedure. However, like any surgery, it carries certain risks. These include:

• Infection
• Allergic reaction to anesthesia
• Bleeding
• Fat necrosis (death of fat cells)
• Deep vein thrombosis

Always consult with a reputable surgeon and discuss your health history thoroughly to ensure fat transfer is the right choice for you.

The magic number here depends on your individual anatomy and desired outcome. Your surgeon will carefully assess your body composition and shape to determine the optimal amount of fat to transfer. They’ll take into account factors like your existing size, skin elasticity, and overall aesthetic goals. Remember, a natural-looking and proportional result is key!

Buttock augmentation with grafting is another term for fat transfer to the buttocks. It involves taking fat from one area of your body (like your abdomen, flanks, or thighs) and strategically injecting it into your buttocks to enhance volume and shape. It’s a minimally invasive procedure compared to traditional buttock implants, offering a more natural-looking result.

There are several benefits to choosing fat transfer for buttock augmentation:

• Natural-looking results: The transferred fat cells mimic your own tissue, creating a smooth and harmonious contour.
• Reduced risk of rejection: Since you’re using your own fat, the risk of rejection is minimal compared to implants.
• Double benefit: You get rid of unwanted fat from another area while enhancing your backside!
• Minimally invasive: Compared to implant surgery, fat transfer involves smaller incisions and shorter recovery times.

While sitting isn’t entirely forbidden after fat transfer, it’s crucial to be cautious and prioritize healing. Your surgeon will likely recommend avoiding direct pressure on your buttocks for several weeks. This means opting for special pillows or donut cushions when sitting to prevent discomfort and ensure optimal fat graft survival.

Remember, the success of fat transfer relies heavily on following your surgeon’s post-operative instructions and prioritizing gentle care during recovery.
