Permanent - Fat transfer results look great during the first 3 to 4 months but fade quickly thereafter. On the other hand, cosmetic hip implants offer permanent shape enhancement.
More Consistent Results - Unfortunately, the majority of fat tends to melt away following BBL surgery. To compensate, many surgeons use more fat than needed, to hopefully offset this fat loss; however this measure often backfires and just leads to even a higher percentage of fat loss and no net gain. Implants allow for much more control, allowing your surgeon to create the exact contour desired. Additionally, implants don’t change size or shape with weight fluctuations, as fat cells do.
No Excess Fat Needed - Many hip augmentation and Brazilian butt lift patients are naturally thin, often with high metabolic rates. Because of their lean figures, these patients don’t achieve good results from fat injections. It is hard to find sufficient fat for extraction, and the transferred fat often gets quickly absorbed by the body. Implants don’t require excess fat or a specific body shape. Long story short, cosmetic hip implants work consistently better on more patients than fat transfer techniques.
Safety - Using implants alleviates many of the safety risks associated with fat transfer procedures like the Brazilian butt lift, which has become known as the most deadly cosmetic surgical procedure performed nowadays. Approximately 1 out of every 3000 patients dies from BBL surgery.
