How Long Does The Fat In A Brazilian Butt Lift Last?  Reston

With Brazilian butt lift surgery, men and women everywhere are finally able to get the celebrity-inspired curves they desire. Aside from creating a stunning new shape, one of the most important goals for BBL surgery is to achieve long-lasting results that can be enjoyed for years to come. At Austin-Weston, The Center for Cosmetic Surgery, our acclaimed team of plastic surgeons uses the most advanced tools and techniques available to help ensure the longest-lasting results possible with BBL in Northern Virginia. Read on to find out how long you can expect your Brazilian butt lift results to last, and learn what you can do to preserve your sexy shape over time.

How does a Brazilian butt lift work?

Patients considering BBL surgery should understand that the procedure is not designed to lift or tighten a saggy butt. Instead, Brazilian butt lift surgery involves a strategic fat transfer to the buttocks to create a fuller, rounder, more desirable butt shape. During the procedure, excess fat is removed from another area of the body via liposuction. The harvested fat is then separated and purified in preparation for transfer. Finally, the surgeon injects the purified fat cells into targeted areas of the patient’s buttocks in thin, meticulous layers. Massage is often performed between each layer of injections to ensure a smooth, even, natural-looking result.

How long does a BBL last?

Following BBL surgery, a small percentage of the newly transferred fat cells will die. This is a natural and expected occurrence, and our experienced surgeons take this into account when determining how much fat to initially harvest and transfer. The majority of the fat cells that establish a blood supply after BBL can survive for years, decades, or even indefinitely. However, that does not necessarily mean a patient’s bum will look exactly the same over time. Natural side effects of aging, gravity and other factors may change the appearance of a patient’s butt. Additionally, weight fluctuation can cause the transferred fat cells to swell or shrink, and greatly impact the results of a Brazilian butt lift. To maintain your BBL results for as long as possible, use these helpful tips:

  • Choose a highly qualified and experienced BBL surgeon
  • Follow aftercare instructions closely, including avoiding direct pressure on the buttocks after surgery
  • Do not smoke
  • Maintain a stable weight

With proper aftercare, a healthy lifestyle, and stable weight, patients can plan to enjoy their shapely new figure for years to come.
