Most of the time the fat cells take well and remain full and soft, Rarely, however, the “lost” fat cells become hard, causing lumps in the buttocks. Sometimes, a noticeable percentage of the fat is lost, and re-grafting may be needed. The more graft that takes, the bigger the buttocks’ volume. The buttocks have a good blood supply and thick skin. The buttocks is one of the easiest areas to fat graft.

Some volume can also be lost after transplanting. Fat cells need to be harvested intact in order to survive, so areas that have previously had liposuction are often not good donor sites. The fat has to be your own, and some volume is lost during Liposuction and while preparing the fat for grafting.

The biggest problem is having enough fat. The nice thing about Fat Grafting is its ability to augment specific areas however, there are limitations to Fat Grafting to the Buttocks, also.
