No sitting directly on the buttocks for 2 to 3 weeks, 6 weeks before full exercise
People with enough donor fat to harvest, at a stable weight, in good health, who have researched surgeon safety practices thoroughly

Initial results in 2–4 weeks, with full results developing over 3 months as collagen builds. Staten Island providers typically schedule follow-ups to track progress.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Staten Island providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6–12 months once optimal results are achieved.
This procedure has historically carried the highest mortality rate in cosmetic surgery, and you should understand why before considering it. Deaths occurred when fat was injected into or beneath the gluteal muscle, where it could enter large veins and travel to the lungs as a fat embolism. In response, the Multi-Society Gluteal Fat Grafting Task Force issued guidance that fat be placed only in the subcutaneous layer above the muscle, and many surgeons now use ultrasound guidance to confirm cannula position in real time. Safety has improved substantially where surgeons follow these practices. Ask any surgeon directly whether they inject subcutaneously only and whether they use ultrasound guidance. If the answer is vague, leave.
Nationally, $8,000 to $18,000 including liposuction of the donor areas, the transfer, anesthesia, and facility. This is a procedure where unusually low prices correlate with the exact practices that made it dangerous, including high-volume clinics running multiple operations a day with limited surgeon involvement. Price should be near the bottom of your decision criteria here.
A portion of the transferred fat is reabsorbed in the first several months, and surgeons account for this by overfilling initially. The fat that survives past six months has established a blood supply and is permanent. Some patients choose a second session to add volume once the first has settled.
Pressure on newly transferred fat compresses it and interrupts the blood supply it needs to survive, which both reduces your result and can cause fat necrosis. Most surgeons restrict direct sitting for two to three weeks, then allow sitting on a specialized cushion that shifts weight to the thighs. This restriction is the single most demanding part of recovery and it is worth planning your work and life around before you book.
The operation requires donor fat, and very lean patients often do not have enough for a meaningful result. Some surgeons will advise gaining weight beforehand, which is a reasonable plan for some people and not for others. Gluteal implants are an alternative but carry their own higher complication rate. A surgeon who tells you that you are not a good candidate is giving you useful information rather than losing a sale.
