Do Brazilian Buttlifts Cause Cellulite on the Butt?

Question: Do the majority of Brazilian buttlifts (BBLs) result in a cellulite looking appearance on the butt?

Answer: Fat transferred to the buttocks can and does improve dimpling.  In the thousands of Brazilian buttlifts (BBLs) I have performed, I have not found the buttocks to look saggy as you heal. In general, the dimpling, which is different from true cellulite, is improved with the BBL and typically resolves with time as the fat becomes part of your body and swelling subsides.
