Q&A: Dr Cyr, I was curious how long does a BBL lasts? ~Monica A.
A BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) can be expected to last for several years and even decades. The longevity of your procedure results is affected by how you manage your recovery instructions during the healing period, the health of the fat used, and proper sizing via the amount of fat used without oversizing.
A patient may anticipate keeping at least 90-70% of the original fat transplanted to the buttocks when the procedure is done correctly, and the patient follows recovery instructions. Your new look will go through stages following the BBL treatment before eventually settling in shape and size approximately ninety days post-surgery. Swelling and absorption of some fat are inevitable while your body establishes a new blood supply to stabilize the transferred fat.
