Brazilian Butt Lift

How long do BBL results last?

I've heard some of the fat doesn't survive. What percentage stays and is it permanent?

About 60-80% of transferred fat survives permanently. Here's what to expect: In the first 3 months, your body reabsorbs some transferred fat—this is normal and expected. By 3-6 months, the fat that survives has established blood supply and is permanent. Your surgeon typically "over-fills" slightly to account for this. The fat that survives behaves like fat anywhere else—it can grow or shrink with weight changes. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve results. With a skilled surgeon and proper aftercare, most patients see lasting, natural-looking results that improve their silhouette permanently.
