How Long Do the Results of a Brazilian Butt Lift Last?

Close up of woman's full, rounded butt from Brazilian Butt Lift in Washington, DC A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a transformative cosmetic procedure that boosts the shape and size of your buttocks using your body’s fat. One of the most common questions patients have is, “How long do the results of a Brazilian Butt Lift last?” While the longevity of your results depends on several factors, they can last for many years with the right care.

At West End Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Ruff, and Dr. Arsalan bring decades of expertise and personalized care to every procedure, including Brazilian Butt Lifts. Performed in our state-of-the-art, AAAASF-certified surgical suite in Washington, D.C., our team is dedicated to delivering exceptional results in a compassionate and innovative environment.

The Longevity of a Brazilian Butt Lift

The results of a BBL are considered semi-permanent. After the procedure, the transferred fat cells establish a blood supply to survive in their new location. However, not all transferred fat will survive—typically, around 60-80% remains long-term.

Once the fat stabilizes, the results can last several years or even a lifetime. It’s important to remember that the fat cells behave like fat in other areas of your body.

Factors That Impact Results

Several factors influence the longevity of your BBL results:

  • Weight Management: Significant weight fluctuations can impact the fat cells transferred during the procedure. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve your results.
  • Lifestyle Choices: A healthy lifestyle, which includes a balanced diet and regular exercise, supports long-lasting results.
  • Post-Surgery Care: Following your surgeon’s recovery instructions is critical. Don’t sit directly on your butt for the recommended time to ensure the fat cells have time to establish properly.
  • Natural Aging: Aging affects skin elasticity and fat distribution, which may gradually alter the appearance of your buttocks.

How to Maintain Your BBL Results

To extend the lifespan of your BBL, focus on maintaining a healthy weight and avoiding drastic changes in body composition. Lower-body exercises like squats and lunges can enhance and support your contours.
