The permanence of aesthetic results in gluteal augmentation varies depending on the method used.
For silicone implants, once the initial swelling subsides (typically within a few months), the achieved volume and shape are generally permanent and remain stable for life. While the surrounding tissues may undergo changes due to aging, the volume of the silicone implant itself does not change.
For fat transfer (Brazilian Butt Lift), the final result takes longer to establish. It is essential to wait approximately 6 months to 1 year for the outcome to stabilize. This is because a portion of the transferred fat cells may be reabsorbed by the body, and the exact percentage of fat survival varies significantly from person to person. Factors such as smoking and the patient's activity level in the first month post-procedure can greatly influence how much fat is retained. Therefore, the definitive shape can only be assessed after about one year. If a secondary procedure is deemed necessary to achieve the desired result, it is typically recommended to wait a full year before proceeding to ensure the initial outcome is fully settled.
