Will wearing a compression garment over the butt after a BBL cause the new fat to be killed?

No, wearing a compression garment over the butt after a BBL will not cause the new fat to be killed. However, it is important to wear the garment as directed by your doctor to ensure the best results and reduce swelling and discomfort.

What are fat necrosis and fibrosis in relation to buttock augmentation?

Fat necrosis is a complication that can occur after a buttock augmentation procedure, such as a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). It is the death of fat cells due to the disruption of the blood supply to the area, which can be caused by trauma or infection. The dead fat cells can form a hard lump or nodule, and can be visible or palpable.

Make sure your surgeon is experienced in performing BBL surgery, and take the proper post-operative care. The surgeon should be sure to inject the fat cells in the correct location and at the proper depth to avoid trauma to the area.

Fat necrosis is not to be expected after a BBL, but it is a potential complication that should be discussed with the surgeon prior to the procedure.
