A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) offers a natural way to enhance the shape and volume of your buttocks using your own fat. By combining targeted liposuction with precise fat transfer, the procedure creates smoother contours, improved waist-to-hip ratios, and long-lasting definition. If you live in or around NYC and are considering this popular body contouring surgery, you may wonder how long the results actually last. With proper planning and the expert surgical technique of Dr. David Funt, the outcome of a BBL can be both beautiful and long-lasting.
Fat Transfer Longevity
During a BBL, fat is carefully harvested from areas like your abdomen, flanks, or thighs and then purified before being injected into your buttocks. While some fat is naturally reabsorbed by your body within the first few months, the fat that successfully establishes a blood supply will remain in place long-term. On average, you can expect about 60 to 80% of the transferred fat to be retained permanently.
Dr. David Funt uses advanced fat grafting techniques designed to maximize the survival of the transferred fat and sculpt smooth, symmetrical curves. His attention to detail and creates results that continue to look natural and flattering for years to come.
What Affects the Longevity of Your BBL?
Several factors influence how long your BBL results will last. These include your body’s healing response, your activity level, and how closely you follow post-surgical instructions. Weight fluctuations can also impact results, since transferred fat behaves like fat in other parts of your body. Gaining or losing a significant amount of weight can change the size and shape of your buttocks over time.
Dr. Funt provides detailed aftercare guidance to help you protect your new contours, including tips for sitting, sleeping, and gradually returning to exercise. By maintaining a healthy lifestyle and stable weight, you should enjoy lasting improvements for many years, often a decade or more.
