The longevity of a BBL should be permanent as long as it’s performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon and you maintain a stable weight. When choosing a plastic surgeon, please make sure to do your research and more importantly, check the surgeon’s before and after gallery for the procedure(s) interested in.
Theoretically, the results of the Brazilian Butt lift lasts forever. Once the fat is transferred, whatever survives after the initial period should be long term. The results should be permanent, if done correctly. I have seen my patient’s results a year, and longer, out and they have held it well.
Fat transferred to the buttock achieves its own blood supply and is living tissue. It changes as patients do with increase in size with weight gain and decrease with weight loss.
If patients maintain their weight, it should last forever. (Christopher J. Kovanda, MD, Minneapolis Plastic Surgeon)
BBL duration of results
If performed correctly a BBL will give permanent longevity after 2-3 months. You initially lose some fat cells early on but them all remaining cells are living and therefore last like all other cells.
Of course aging can deflate any areas with fat over time. Gaining or losing weight can also affect your results.
How Long Does the Result Last
What you see initially after this procedure is not the final result, we all wait till around 3 months for all the swelling to go away, the result we get at that time we know it will be permanent as the fat the incorporated will act like normal live tissue in the body.
Bare in mind, fat fluctuates with weight like any fat in the body , it will never disappear later on but could increase or decrease with weight fluctuations (Omar Fouda Neel, MD, FRCSC, FACS, Montreal Plastic Surgeon)
Does a Brazilian Butt Lift Last?
Since your own fat is being grafted into your butt, the final longevity are permanent. Your body will recognize the transferred fat as its own and grow new blood supply to keep it alive. Once grafting is complete, usually about 3 months, it will stay and behave like the fat in the area from where it was harvested.
So if the fat is harvested from your stomach and you later gain weight in this area, the grafted fat in your butt will also become larger. The same will happen with aging and any changes associated with it. Be sure you select an experienced plastic surgeon who has many before/after photos and can select the best harvest sites for your fat transfer. (Gabriel Chiu, DO, Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon)
Brazilian buttock lift (BBL) procedure is fat transfer from an area of excess fat to the buttocks and hips. Adding fat to the hips and buttocks greatly improves the overall shape. As long as the patients follows the postop instructions, the fat transfer is permanent.
Since this is your own fat, it will behave like the rest of the fat in your body. We have long term results in our practice. Many of our patients have adopted healthy lift styles with frequent exercise. They are able to maintain their BBL results years after the procedure. (Stanley Okoro, MD, Atlanta Plastic Surgeon)
Does fat last after Brazilian buttock lift
The majority of fat transferred in a Brazilian buttock lift procedure will be permanent. About 60% or more of the fat will be permanent. It takes about 3 months after the procedure however to know exactly how much has survived. Consult with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon to see if you are a good candidate for this procedure. (William Bruno, MD, Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon)
