The results of a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) can be long-lasting, often maintaining their shape and volume for many years. However, the longevity of your results depends on several factors:
Fat Cell Survival:
- The transferred fat cells that establish blood supply in the buttocks become permanent. Typically, about 60-80% of the transferred fat survives the procedure.
- The final shape stabilizes around 3 to 6 months after surgery, once swelling subsides.
Lifestyle Factors:
- Maintaining a stable weight is crucial. Significant weight fluctuations can affect the fat cells and alter the shape of your results.
- Regular exercise and a healthy diet will help preserve your contours.
Proper Aftercare:
- Following your surgeon’s post-operative instructions, such as avoiding sitting directly on your buttocks during the initial recovery period, can improve fat retention and enhance long-term results.
Longevity of Results:
With proper care and a healthy lifestyle, the results of a BBL can last 5 years or more, and for many patients, the enhancements remain noticeable for a lifetime. Regular follow-ups with your surgeon can help you maintain your desired appearance.
